A fierce contest today in sunny Piltown with little between the teams .
Our u16s took to the pitch against Piltown for an afternoon kick off .
Both teams were very disciplined at the back and for us today Sophie Scahill commanded the back four , she took control from the first kick and was consistent throughout , along with Eimear Quinn , Molly Murphy and Saoirse Corcoran .
On the 34th minute , a well taken corner from Eimear was met by Niamh Reddy who made sure the ball finished in the net , scoring her first Mooncoin Goal.
Emily Blackmore , Molly Long and Ella Brennan played some lovely through balls to Eimhin O Donohue, whose work rate today was phenomenal. And Kate McGrath worked tirelessly in the middle to keep the ball on the move .
But hats off today to keeper Sadhbh Kirwan , who in the last ten mins , when Piltown were pressing hard to find the equaliser, kept her cool and pulled off some great saves ,
Mooncoin came away with the three points in a very evenly matched and enjoyable game.
