U17 Girls: Mooncoin 4 – 1 Villa FC

Proudly Sponsored by TD Tiling

Mooncoin welcomed Villa to Breezy Suir Crescent this morning for an 11am Kick Off .

Today was a game of two halves , with both teams going toe to toe for the first half , with very little to seperate them .

After some discussion at half time , and a few words amongst themselves, the girls took to the pitch with determination .

The break came for us 10 mins in when Emily Blackmore took a shot on goal , the villa keeper got to it, but the ball still found its way over the goal line .

Villa had a speedy response and within a couple of minutes had equalised .

This pushed the girls on again , and on the 15 minute mark , Emily Blackmore found herself again in a scoring position , and finished to the net making it two one .

The introduction of Ella Brennan a little earlier really changed the dynamic of the game , as her speed on the wing was proving pivotal for the Home side . Ella was rewarded by finding the net herself on the half way mark .


Our defence was tested on a number of occasions , with Ciara o keeffe making two clearances off the goal line after Alanah Tobin diverted a ball from front of goal . Ellie Corcoran was solid in the middle of the field and a lot of ball was moved through Ellie during todays game .

Luiseach O Donohue was her usual dependable self today and played her part in setting up of the Fourth goal . Passing a ball up the line to Sommer Grant who made no mistake and blasted for back of the net , the villa keeper did well again to deter the effort , but the ball still ended up in the back of the net .

Sommer had seen a long range shot come off the woodwork minutes before .


A well earned win today and three points on the Board .
