U12b Boys: Bohemians 3 – 5 Mooncoin Celtic

Exciting match today for our u12s away to Bohs. Mooncoin missed a good few chances before Robbie found the back of the net after 20mins.

Bohs were clinical and in a blink of an eye they were 2-1 up. Just before half time Fintan latched on to a blocked shot from Ethan to level it up.

Bohs took the lead again early in the 2nd half and except for a point blank save from Will it could have been worse.

Then a crazy ten minute period saw Robbie getting a second goal and Ethan getting a brace, the 2nd one from a good pass from Jimmy which was ruled just on side.

Overall a nice win for the MCFC boys.

U14b Boys: Mooncoin Celtic 0 – 1 Portlaw Utd

We welcomed our neighbours Portlaw to Suir Crescent today in the hope of trying to grab the three points in what we knew would be a tight derby type game.

It was Portlaw who deservedly got the points with a one nil victory, they played the smarter football on the day, where we looked very leggy, a lot of our side playing a lot of extra sports this time of year is starting to show a bit, but we played to the end and we are still learning in this division.

MOM in this one was Cormac Fenton who worked hard throughout the game, also Jack Hearne pulled off two wonderful saves in each half.

U15c Boys: Abbeyside 0 – 4 Mooncoin Celtic

We followed our recent 5.1 home win against Bohs with an away trip to Abbeyside. It took us a while to come to terms with the conditions and the first 15 mins was an even affair. The deadlock was broken with a cool finish from Jamie and from here on in we grew into the game.

An excellent corner from Alex was headed in at the near post by Aidan to send us in 2 nil up at the break .

The 2nd half saw the lads play with the hill and things started to click. A fantastic solo effort from Aidan put us in a comfortable position with 15 to go.

A lovely ball from Cathal to Aidan saw him cross to Luke who finished with style to put the game to bed. A great all round team performance with the defence of Jake,Conor,Alex, Jack,Billy and Mattie holding out for another clean sheet.


Mom: Aidan with a special mention for Billy

U16 Girls: Mooncoin Celtic 4 – 1 Dungarvan Utd

Dungaran made the journey to Mooncoin today for this u16 Clash.
It was a cold and windy day , but Mooncoin came out on top in a 4-1 game .

Our first goal came on the 10 minute mark when an Eimear Quinn Corner , looked to be cleared by Dungarvan, however Ella Bailey happened to be in the right place at the right time , and took control of the ball before having a shot , that beat the Dungarvan keeper and ended up in the back of the net .

Dungarvan got straight back into it . Mooncoin pressed hard and kept the ball in our own half getting plenty of shots away , the Dungarvan keeper was in form today had plenty of great saves .

Sarah Walsh rattled the net on the 20 minute mark after winning a ball out by the sideline and making the run towards goal.

The home side went into half time 2-0 up .

The introduction of Fresh players after the half time break , livened things up again . And Emily Cooney struck home 5 minutes into the half . This was followed ten minutes later by a Luiseach O Donohue goal , a worthy reward for all her hard work on the wing today.


Standout performances today were Niamh Reddy , who’s phenomenal work rate paid off in dividends today , and work horse Emily Cooney , who seemed to play in every position on the pitch today.


Massive Credit must go to Dungarvan , as they put in a Fantastic performance today .
