The first fine day in months brought out the best in both Mooncoin and Kilmacow teams, as they played out a thriller of a derby, with Mooncoin taking the win 1 nil.

The first half was tight, with Kilmacow starting the better, but Mooncoin grew into the game and had a couple of shots just head wide. Eoin T was super in this 1st half.

0-0 at half time but 30 secs into the 2nd half and Conor W. had a fine shot that was well saved by the keeper. Soon after Conor had another shot that just whisked wide.

At the back Mooncoin were very solid with birthday boy Will W cleaning up everything behind a brilliant defence.

Mooncoin were on top and a sharp tackle then pass by Sam, saw Charlie M. pick up the ball just outside the D, and a quick swivel and hard high shot saw the ball hit the back of the net. A great goal to get Mooncoin ahead, and from here the team dug in.

To be expected Kilmacow came on strong, but this left room for breaks and Sean, Will Mc and Robbie exploited it, with Robbie going very close to grabbing a second.

The last few minutes saw everyone in defence and as the final whistle went there was great joy in celebrating a first win of the year.
