Review of last week

U11D League Result
Mooncoin Celtic 0
Dungarvan United 4
A flattering scoreline as this game could well have been a 2-2 draw but credit to Dungarvan who took their chances and punished our mistakes.

U12 Girls League
Mooncoin Celtic 1
Villa 2
A fantastic performance from our u12 girls against the league leaders Villa last Sunday in Suir Crescent. From the off we put the Villa defence under some pressure scoring the opening goal with a great strike from Aoibhe V. Excellent pressure on the ball in all areas of the pitch had the score at 1-1 at half time. In the second half we passed the ball brilliantly and created numerous chances, with Maria running at their defence time and time again. We were unlucky to concede a second in this half and didn’t deserve to come away with no points.

1B League Result
Waterford Crystal 5
Mooncoin Celtic 0
Our young adult side finished their league campaign with a defeat away to a very good Crystal outfit. Plenty of chances created but unfortunately no finished product while Crystal punished us with clinical finishes.

1st Division Cup Result
Southend United 3
Mooncoin Celtic 2
Best performance of the season by the boys against 1A side Southend who will have aspirations for winning the cup. Kieran Fagan had us 1 up on 15 minutes with an excellent finish but Southend nudged ahead with two good finishes on 25 and 30 minutes. Right on half time, Kieran Fagan equalised with a very tidy finish from a brilliant ball from Ryan Carroll. Disciplined shape and patience was required for the second period but tired legs would catch up with us as Southend got the winner with 10 minutes to go. Proud performance by all 11 on duty who matched the higher league outfit for long periods.

U19 Girls Munster Semi Final Result
Park Rangers 4
Mooncoin Celtic 2
Park Rangers were full value for the win in this one with our girls second best throughout and deservedly head to a Munster Final. The girls did lead 2-1 at one point through Sommer Grant and Emily Blackmore but the girls from Faithlegg powered ahead to earn a place against Holycross in the final. Best of luck to Park Rangers in the Munster Final.

U17 Girls FAI Shield Result
Mooncoin Celtic 2
North End 4
After Extra time.
A rip roaring match on a bank holiday Monday saw a very good North End side advance to the last 8. North End took the lead midway through the opening half and this kick started the girls into action with an Emily Blackmore equaliser and from there the girls matched North End all the way. Ella Brennan put us 2-1 up with 20 minutes to go and it looked like we were going through with our defence and Sadhbh Kirwan on goal brilliant throughout but the pressure told with North End scoring with a header from a corner. Extra time was required to separate the girls and the tired legs caught up on our girls as a goal in each half by a very good North End striker saw them advance to the quarter finals. Brilliant advertisement for girls soccer.

Back to winning ways and a very good performance for all on duty with goals from Pete, Shay, Seanie and Billy securing the three points for a team who are finishing the season strongly.

U14B League Result
De la Salle 1
Mooncoin Celtic 3
This side’s good run continued on bank Holiday Monday with an away win in a ground where you get nothing easy. Cathal M got two on the day with James H getting on the scoresheet too. Good three points for the boys.

U10 Girls
Our U10 girls took part in an end of season blitz in Piltown with three other clubs and plenty of exciting talent was on show throughout the day. Big well done to the Waterford Schoolgirls League for organising these blitzes across the day.
