Girls U17: Cappoquin Railway 0 – 4 Mooncoin Celtic

This mornings road trip took our u17 Girls team in Rainy cappaquinn .

We didn’t create too many chances in the first half , but our solid defence of Sophie Scahill , Ciara O Keeffe and Eimear Quinn made sure that Cappaquinn didn’t create anything at the other end either .

The introduction of Ella Brennan on the 25 minute mark turned the game on its head and changed the dynamic of the Mooncoin play .


Some stern words and straight talking at half time took immediate effect , a Sarah Walsh through ball after less than a minute in the second half was run onto by Emily Blackmore who steadied herself before shooting home .

Within two minutes the same duo struck again when Emily Lined up for Sarah , who finished to the net …..

Sommer Grant saw two chances go marginally wide as the Mooncoin girls begin to dominate the mid field .

On the 55 minute Mark Mooncoin struck again when a well worked Ella Brennan cross from the corner of the pitch was taken down by Emily who side stepped a defender before shooting to the top right corner .

The fourth of the day came after Ella Brennan found herself on the receiving end of a pass front of goal and she made no mistake in slotting the ball to the back of the net .

Todays game was our third win from three in this league .

Our next fixture is a Munster Cup game in two weeks.
