Sports Capital Grant Application 2023

In the last week, we have submitted our application for funding towards an astro turf training area as part of the 2023 Sports Capital Programme. This will be the next stage of the development of Suir Crescent and will be crucial to enable our ever expanding club to train all year round in all weather conditions. We have applied for €200,000 and will be looking for the support of all local councillors and TDs in our quest for funding. To date over €520,000 has been invested in Suir Crescent, which is down to the people of Mooncoin supporting the development and successful grant applications in recent years. Fingers crossed, we will be starting the next phase of our impressive grounds soon enough.

U11E League Result Carrick United 1 Mooncoin Celtic 1

The lads traveled to carrick today for a sticky first fixture in the blistering heat.
We started very brightly and put our stamp on the game from the off with Edmund M and Charlie O’K causing carrick all kinds of problems on the wings. The defence of Billy M, Corey T and Patrick P kept carrick very quiet and the opening goal came late in the first half when Ryan O’L and Charlie O’K done well to win the ball in our half. Ryan set Cormac M away and John Joe W came flying in brilliantly to tuck away Cormac’s cross. Jim C and Aideen O’K came in after the goal to get fresh legs and keep the lead. We played very well in the second half with some smart goalkeeping from Thomas M keeping us in front. Unfortunately he could do nothing to keep out the carrick equaliser which came from a dubious free kick which was very well converted. Chances came and went for both sides but we had to settle for a draw. The defence today was excellent and in particular todays man of the match Corey. The whole team put in an excellent effort today and have definitely all earned an ice cream after it.
