Our 18s girls team travelled to Connors Park yesterday evening to take on The Villa .
After what has been a very difficult time for Our Club and the girls involved in this team , we took to the pitch with 4KC on our minds and close to our hearts

What ensued was an epic battle between the two sides , with The Mooncoin Side leaving with all three points .

There was very little to separate the two teams, and after a slow start, we grew into the game. We opened the scoring on 39 minutes when Grace O Toole sent a free kick to the right corner of the pitch where Sommer Grant sent the ball in towards the penalty area , where a patient Sarah Walsh took a touch before putting the ball in the back of the net with a superb finish. Villa pulled back the goal on the stroke of half-time when we fell asleep from a corner

The second half was a lively affair , and we took the lead after 5 mins with another well placed pass from Sommer , with Emily Blackmore on the receiving end of the Pass , and didn’t hesitate sending the ball in to the net . Play was stopped temporarily when two players had a clash of heads. With Grace and the Villa player having to leave the field. Speedy recovery to Grace , who put in an epic shift in the Mooncoin shirt tonight . Young Molly Murphy stepped in to fray and gave fine performance.
Villa had a few chances , but Abbie Hassett was on hand and pulled off some great saves tonight when it counted the most . Our third goal came from Molly Long who was on hand when Ella Brennan sent a superb corner kick towards the back post . Molly took the ball down and slotted home . Great 3 points away from home in a hard fought game.
