Today’s fixture looked to be in doubt for this Mooncoin Girls U17s team right up until the eleventh hour , as we weren’t sure we would have numbers available to field . But we needn’t have worried , as the 14s and u16s girls stepped foward to help their U17 club mates.

The game started with our girls very nervous , and conceding a goal within the first 5 minutes due to lack of communication when defending a corner, the girls heads dropped slightly. But that didn’t last long, the team began pulling together and were hunting down and fighting for every ball .

Luiseach O Donohue played out of her normal winger position today and stepped in to help as part of our back four with Sophie Scahill , Kate Mc Garth and Ciara O Keeffe . They settled in and worked tirelessly for keep any Bohs attack under control .

Emily Blackmore donned the Goalkeeper gloves today and stepped between the posts . Coming up the pitch on the 25 minute mark to take a free kick in the hopes of an equaliser, that unfortunately didn’t result in the back of the net .

The game went to the break at 1-0 to Bohemians

In the second half we pressed and tried to get the ball up to Bohs half of the pitch as much as we could … We made full use of the subs bench today and all the girls saw some game time .

The result today didn’t go out way , but it was wonderful to see the girls all line out today for their club and for each other .
