Sunny Faithlegg set the scene for last nights u16 Cup quarter final between Park Rangers and Mooncoin.

Park Rangers gained the upper hand and went one nil up on the 10 minute mark, but Mooncoin dug deep , didn’t let their heads drop , and equalised inside five minutes , when Molly Long put through a ball to Emily Blackmore , who outstretched but managed to get the ball past the Rangers keeper and into the back of the net .


Ella Bailey and Niamh Reddy along with Luiseach and Sarah Walsh worked hard between themselves to keep any incoming threat at bay . With Alanah Tobin on full alert for anything that might slip past .

We went a goal up on the 25 minute mark when a fantastic clearance down field from Eimear Quinn was taken a little further down the line by Luiseach Dlwho gave an over head ball to Emily Blackmore , who took a touch in the air and sent the ball over the head of the Park Rangers defender coming to clear the ball and the Park Rangers keeper off her line .

Mooncoin led by a goal at half time ,,,, but ten minutes in to the second half Park Rangers came at us , scoring a superb goal from a very tight angle . To level the game up once again .

Mooncoin began to press once again , and were awarded an penalty on the 60 minute mark when Sommer Grant was taken down . Sommer , herself stood over the ball and calmly converted her penalty .

Less than ten minutes later , Sommer was moving towards goal after a clearance pass from Caoimhe Hartwell . While eyeing up a posssible shot on goal for herself , she spotted Emily Blackmore in a scoring position and got the ball to Emily who slotted home to make it a 2-4 score line.

Minutes before the full time whistle some great passing between Ella Brennan and Aoibhe Rees , resulted in Aoibhe getting a shot off across goal that Emily Cooney helped in to the net .

The game finished

Stand out performances tonight for Kate McGrath and Caoimhe Hartwell , who both put in a massive shift for the Mooncoin jersey last night .
