A very fast start from our girls had us 2 up thanks to Lexi and Anna R after only ten minutes. Piltown were not going to lie down in this derby match and got a brilliant goal from distance after fifteen minutes. But the girls starting turning the screw and got two great goals- one from Alexi and an excellent finish from Siobhán to make it 4-1 at half time. The second half was an even enough affair with further goals from Alexi, Anna R and Siobhán to finish the game 7-2. A great win for our girls and an excellent team performance with all the subs contributing in the second half.

U11E League Result Mooncoin Celtic 0 Park Rangers 2
When these two met back in November it was a goal fest with park rangers winning. This game was the polar opposite with us holding them scoreless until 10 mins to go when we were undone by a short corner that found itself in the top corner with the swirling wind. We pushed for an equaliser and probably committed too many forward and park rangers scored again late on. A great battle by both teams on the day.

U12 Girls Result Mooncoin Celtic 1 Southend 3 Our u12 girls came up against Southend this morning. Another very good performance. We started on the front foot and for the first quarter were on top, but unfortunately couldn’t convert any chances. Southend scored against the run of play and that really settled them. Both teams went toe to toe for the rest of the first half but our opponents scored a good goal on the stroke of half time. Both defences were on top for the second half but Aoibhe V found a way through, with a great finish. A blatant penalty for the girls, towards the end of the half was not given, and an unfortunate mistake finished the game at 1-3 to Southend. Well done to all the girls who are improving game on game. The commitment and hard work in training is really showing on the pitch.

Today we had a home game against Park Rangers. We started brightly with our girls controlling the play for much of the first half. Unfortunately a break against the run of play broke the deadlock and the visitors were in front. Second half Park Rangers doubled their lead before Ella Brennan pulled a goal back for us. A couple of minutes later Miss Brennan had the game level. Park Rangers stuck a third and a fourth before Ella completed her hat trick. Our girls pushed on for a deserved equaliser but unfortunately the clock beat us today. The girls left everything out on the pitch and the least they deserved was a draw but it wasn’t to be. We are very grateful to Hannah Dobbyn who stepped up for us today in the absence of Sadhbh. Hannah you played a blinder as did all girls that took to the field today
It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of young Stephanie Hearne at the tender age of 36.

Our sincerest condolences go out to all of Stephanie’s family and friends during this sad time. May Stephanie Rest in Peace. Please see funeral arrangements below.
The only game we played this weekend and a 50/50 gane unfolded out in Park Rangers with very little between the 2 sides. Shay M did an excellent job breaking up play and using his dribbling to create plenty chances throughout the game while Billy F was using his pace on the right side of midfield to create a chance every time he got the ball. We were also unlucky in the first half through Pete D who also had a shot saved. Patrick O’H did a great job in the goal making plenty saves throughout. 2nd half was very similar with both teams creating chances but we unfortunately couldn’t find a goal today. Park Rangers smashed a volley into the top corner from just outside the box leaving Patrick rooted to the spot with nothing to do. Despite the result the boys gave it there all and have come on a long way from the start of the season and their hard work on the training ground is paying off. Standout performances for Billy F who was a danger every time he got the ball, Shay M who showed great leadership skills and dictated all play in the middle of the park, Patrick O’H who put on another super performance in the goal and Teddy D who was put in centre back for his first time in the second half and didn’t leave anything get past him.
At last we get U10 Girls Player of the year for last season, Gwen Dermody with her trophy. Gwen has been in top form this season since stepping up to U11 and she also plays with the U12s. A big future ahead for this young lady who rarely puts a foot wrong.

U11E League Mooncoin Celtic 3 Kilmacow 0 The lads got back to winning ways in a windy suir crescent on Saturday morning. Corey opened the scoring with a tidy finish from a great corner from Charlie. Some good work from Edmund slipped in captain for the day Jim who finished smartly to put us two up. Kilmacow started the second half much better than us with Corey and Cormac saving us on a couple occasions. Late in to the second half Kieran ran on to a powerful goal kick from Cormac and buried it past the keeper for our 3rd. A great performance all round in tricky conditions with Corey man of the match for heroics at both end.

We pulled a goal back through Kieran Fagan on the stroke of half time and rejigged formation at the break to try get on top. Plenty chances again were created but no finished product. Park Rangers capitalised on a lapse in concentration to put a two goal cushion between the teams and two late goals put a gloss on the scoreline. The display of young Tadhg Derwin on goal was the only positive we can take from it.
