A sluggish start from the girls saw them 1 down in the first few minutes against Bohs this morning but that kicked them into gear and they knocked 5 goals past Bohs with no reply. Hat trick for Lexi, and goals for Sophie and Briona saw the match end 1-5 to us.

Waterford Womens Winter League Tramore 3-1 Mooncoin Celtic
Our Ladies team travelled to Tramore this evening for our second to last game of Womens Winter League .
In a beautiful gesture , Tramore presented our club with a pennant . Given in friendship and in memory of our player The Late Kate Corcoran .
This young team gave one of their best performances in the winter league this evening . And although the score was 3-1 to the home side , the score line doesn’t in anyway reflect the game as a whole .
We started the game strongly and made some very good passes . We were getting our heads up and picking out players and passes . Our back four led by one of our Captains Amy Lehane stood firm and worked hard together to extinguish any imminent Tramore danger .
Bathany and Hannah Carroll played some excellent football in the centre of the Park breaking down play and getting ball foward . Our youngest player Ella Brennan was a thorn in the side of the opposition this evening and proved her worth on the field of play . Emily Blackmore and Rebecca Derwin were our ladies up front and battled hard for 90 minutes this evening.
We took the lead on the 25 minute mark , when Ella Brennan broke free of a tackle and put the ball down the line for Emily Blackmore , who took a touch and seeing the Tramore keeper off her line , took a shot from just outside the box the sailed to the back of the net . On the 40 minute mark a Tramore player found themselves one on one with Our Keeper Abbie Hassett and what looked to be a sure fire goal was saved by the determined keeper .
At the break we led 0-1
Tramore pulled a goal back ten minutes into the second half . But our heads didn’t drop . Added a second 15 from the finish . We had a couple of chances but didn’t capitalise on them . Tramore netted a third with a couple of minutes on the clock . Putting daylight between the teams .
The result didn’t go our way this evening . But there was so many positives from our performance, that it’s hard to be too disheartened. Many thanks to all who travelled to support us .
U14b league Kilmacow 1 Mooncoin Celtic 4
A mid afternoon kick off away to Kilmacow on a mild day for our u14s today. Both teams took a while to settle but midway though the half Cathal surged through and his shot beat the keeper and hit the post but Robbie was there to slot away the rebound. Just before half time Kilmacow equalised when the ball wasn’t cleared in the box. Second half remained a tight affair until Cathal scored from Canices corner. Cathal got a second from the penalty spot after being brought down following a strong run down the left. With 5 minutes to go, Conor F got on the scoresheet hitting a sweet volley from a lovely through ball. Match finished with a 4-1 win to Mooncoin. Great effort from the whole squad today and thanks to the lads who travelled back from Carlow today to play.
