Weekend Review

Last weekend was a very busy one for all our teams involved over two mixed days weather wise, Saturday glorious, Sunday dreadful.


U11A Boys
Southend 1 Mooncoin Celtic 0
This side, though depleted, showed signs of true potential and pushed Southend all the way.

U11B Boys
Mooncoin Celtic 2
Ferrybank 2
Two up at half time thanks to Ted McLoughlin and Pete Dunphy against a decent Ferrybank team. Unfortunately the second half saw the boys pegged back but can count themselves very unlucky not to have won.

U11C
Mooncoin Celtic 4
Villa 1
A tight but frantic first half saw few chances for Mooncoin with Tom Mackey the busier goalie making two saves. It ended with captain for the day Ben Mackey striking into the top corner after Villa had cleared a corner.
The second half saw a flurry of goals with Bobby Kinsella, Eoin Barden, Donncha Mackey and Tom Mackey all scoring within ten minutes of the interval. Villa got back into it with a goal soon after. They were denied a second by a save from TJ Curran at full stretch as the ball bounced back off the post. 5-1 to the home team and top of the table with three wins from three.

U15 Boys
Bohs 3 Mooncoin Celtic 0
Poor conditions on Sunday for this group and tough Away trip in Poleberry today with a depleted side against a very good drilled Bohs side ended in a 3-0 defeat, all the goals coming in the first half. The score line flatters us really with Bohs having all the possession and chances. Positives from it was the performance from Oisin at the back and the the girls Ella Brennan & Aoibhe Rees who played their hearts out.

U16 Girls
Bohemians 1 Mooncoin Celtic 0
A very tight game with little between the sides in what is sure to be a very tight league. One goal was always going to win it and unfortunately Bohs sneaked it.

U12 White Girls
Mooncoin Celtic 1
Carrick United 3
Horrendous conditions for this young group but it did not stop these determined girls who put in a performance which deserved more. Emily
Fewer got the goal on the day.

U12 Green Girls
Mooncoin Celtic 2
Ballyduff 3
A rip roaring game played in shocking conditions again but a big crowd cheered on both teams, Ballyduff just about shaded things but signs of improvement are evident. Lexi Walsh got both goals with one screamer from distance.

Youths
Kilmacow 8
Mooncoin Celtic 3
A flattering scoreline with 4 goals from set pieces putting Kilmacow in the driving seat. An Alex Bailey hat trick was the bright note but a disappointing result for the lads.

3rd Division
Mooncoin Celtic 1
St Paul’s 4
A fast start from a lively St Paul’s team saw them 4 up on the half hour mark with two screamers giving Bradley McNabb no chance, a blatant push at a corner for another and a defensive mix up costing us. A much improved second half with a mountain of chances saw a penalty penalty miss, a couple of very good saves by the Paul’s keeper before Jamie Moore pulled one back.
Poor display overall.
