Youths B League Result
Ballinroad 5
Mooncoin Celtic 1
First game in a few weeks and a trip at any stage away to Ballinroad is always going to be tough. Ballinroad had this game won by half time but credit to the boys they kept going and pulled one back through Liam Joy.

Mooncoin Celtic 1
Villa 4
A much better performance for a depleted side who were level at half time thanks to a Jamie Croke finish but Villa showed their class to pull away in the second half.

U11A Cup Result
Southend 5
Mooncoin Celtic 1
Our A squad travelled to Kilbarry with the hope of an upset but a couple of early goals saw Southend ahead at half time. Credit to this young side who kept battling and were rewarded with a very good goal through Kai and possibly could have had a couple more. Best of luck to Southend in the Cup.

Dungarvan United 2
A classy Dungarvan side were on top form on Monday evening and secured three points but not without a battle. Ryan continued his good form with another goal.

Piltown 0
Scoreless at half time with very little between the teams in this derby match. We sprung Ryan from the bench and he duly done the business to make it 6 games on the spin in which he has scored. Great three points secured.

Mooncoin Celtic 6
Kilmac 0
Another good performance by all on duty with another three points secured to continue their excellent run towards the end of the season. Goalscorers were Oisin 3, Pete 1, Jonathan 1, Paddy 1 to make it 8 games unbeaten.

U14B League Result
Bohs 2
Mooncoin Celtic 2
Following a win over the same opposition the previous week, the boys were hopeful of another three points but this young Bohs side showed they meant business as they matched our boys all the way. James and Shane with two tidy finishes as a draw was a fair result as the lads extend their run to 5 without defeat.

Park Rangers 3
Mooncoin Celtic 2
A tough trip on a Wednesday evening unfortunately resulted in a narrow defeat against a decent Rangers team. Ella B and Molly Q got on the scoresheet but no points for the effort.

The girls went out to Faithlegg to face Park Rangers. Mooncoin got into their stride and had the better of the opening exchanges.
On 23 minutes, Mooncoin took the lead through an Ella Brennan strike. Just before halftime Park Rangers got an equaliser against the run of play to go in level at the break.
At the start of the second half, Park Rangers doubled their tally, but on 55 minutes, Molly Quinn levelled up the tie. Try as we could, we couldn’t get a third goal, and with about 10 minutes left, Park Rangers scored their third.
A great effort was given by all the girls.
Hopefully, we can reverse this result in the Cup as we are paired against Park Rangers, game to be played in Suir Cresent.
Full time Park Rangers 3 2 Mooncoin Celtic.

The second match against Bohs in a week for the u14s was on a lovely freshly cut pitch at the RSC. Mooncoin took the lead midway through the first half following a free kick by Cathal that was fed back to Shane in the box who took a touch to create space and curl it into the net. In the final minutes of the half, Bohs equalised from the right wing with a ball that just looped over Bradley’s head in to the far corner. Bohs came flying out of the traps in the 2nd half and scored a fabulous goal that left Bradley no chance to stop a well hit shot. The lads didn’t give up and a fine through ball by Dylan was latched on to by James who used his strength to keep the defenders at bay and hit a powerful shot that the keeper got a hand to but couldn’t keep out of the back of the net. Both teams had half chances to win it but in the end the draw was a fair result for both teams. Great effort and good football by all the lads on both teams tonight.

Another three points on the board tonight after a very tough and physical game from a determined Tramore outfit .

We got off to a flyer when Emily Blackmore took a long range shot that sailed to the top left corner on the 4 minute mark . The game flowed for the next 40 minutes, with both teams having very good passages of play . Eimear Quinn was superb in defence this evening and calmly came to our rescue when the need arose flanked by Niamh , Gracie, and Kate . Backed up as always by Abbie Hassett between the posts . They made things very difficult for Tramore to break down in the first half . We had chances before the break but didn’t capitalise on any of them . Sommer and Hannah linked up very well in the middle and sprayed plenty of ball for Ciara Ross and Ella to run onto .
Both teams went toe to toe in the second half and it was deadlock between the two teams approaching the half way mark when some wonderful passing saw us work the ball up the pitch from Gracie in defence to space in the middle , where Emily set Ciara Ross up for a superb finish from a very tight angle. Tramore reacted, and some sloppy defending from us allowed them back into the game. On the 78 minute, Emily Blackmore rattled the net for a second time when she converted a free kick . But within 5 minutes, Tramore again struck back and kept themselves in the game . Up stepped Sarah Walsh to slot home to give us some breathing space, and we saw the game out on a scoreline 4-2. Superb work girls

Villa 2 (AET)
Absolute heartbreak for this squad as two goals in the final moments of extra time saw Villa progress. A brilliant match which swung from end to end all the way through but no goals in normal time. Both sides had chances in extra time before Villa broke away and won it. Best of luck to Villa in the next round.

Mooncoin Celtic 1
Villa 0
A Richard D goal was to be the difference in Suir Crescent as Villa exited the cup with their first defeat of the season. A very tight game throughout but we head for a semi final awaiting the winners of Tramore or Dungarvan.

Disappointing result for this squad who never got going against a more physical Carrick side. Cathal got our goal on the day.

U12A League Result
Southend 2
Mooncoin Celtic 1
A trip to league favourites was on the menu for the boys on Monday evening with the hope of extending their good run. A scrappy first goal saw Southend on top before an excellent finish from distance set the boys back but the second half saw a different approach with Southend defending in numbers. We pulled a goal back through Ryan but too little too late.

Ballyduff 1
Another good win to extend the unbeaten run to 7 games with goals from Shay, Seanie, Pete with 2 and Billy. Keep it going boys.

U12B Girls Cup Semi final
Southend 4
Mooncoin Celtic 1
A disappointing result for this ever improving group who have made huge strides since the start of the season. Molly got the goal on the night against a good Southend team. Best of luck to Southend in the final.

Bohs 3
A cracking game in Suir Crescent on Tuesday as Bohs visited Mooncoin u14s. We started quickly and after a couple of minutes Shane got his first goal of the season with the ball just crossing the line. After more pressure, Cathal scored from a free kick in to the corner of the net. Shane had a good chance to get his second, but put it wide. Undeterred he cooly scored the harder chance shortly after. We knew Bohs would come back at us in the 2nd half and they scored the next goal. Cathal scored a wonder free kick from around halfway which gave the keeper no chance. The game opened up and Bohs got 2 good goals to up the pressure. Cathal had the last word and hit a bullet shot to complete his hat trick with the final score 5-3.

Tramore 2
A very physical battle was played out in sunny conditions in Suir Crescent on Wednesday evening with plenty of goalmouth action throughout. Goals by Emily Blackmore with 2, Sarah Walsh and Ciara Ross saw the three points secured and set up a grandstand finish in this league with two huge games coming up.

U16C Cup Result
Seaview Celtic 5
Mooncoin Celtic 4
A last minute winner from Seaview was the way this side ended their season but they put up one hell of a fight throughout the 80 minutes in annestown. At one point they led 3-1 but Seaview dug deep and went through in the end. Goals on the night from Emmet with two and two from the hard working Marcos was not enough to see them through.

A sunny Sunday May morning in Suir Crescent before a large home crowd, who were hoping to see our girls clinch the very first girls league title for the club and our girls did not disappoint. From the off, the girls responded to a very emotional team talk beforehand to fly out of the traps and fired in some super team goals in the opening half. After some changes at half time, they kept the pressure on and clinched the league title in style. A brilliant league campaign was capped off with the winners medals and League trophy being presented by Pete Roche of the Waterford Schoolgirls League Committee. The girls were beyond excited and really enjoyed the post match celebrations with pizza and minerals which were sponsored by
Bounce Land Inflatables and kindly delivered by Mondo’s Takeaway. We had one of our founding members Matty Kelly present this morning to witness the win and Matty shared some very kind words with the girls afterwards before posing for a nice team photo. A massive well done to all the girls and coaches involved for their hard work and commitment over the last 10 months.
The final word on a historic day for our girls section is to the late Kate Corcoran, who is never far from our thoughts and we are sure Kate was smiling down on our young stars today. This league title is dedicated to the Late Kate Corcoran.
