U13 Boys B League Result

Mooncoin Celtic 2 Villa 1

A great start was made to the U13B league today in Grannagh, as we came out on top by the odd goal in 3 against a well organized Villa team, when our boys stepped out onto the full size pitch for the first time as a team together.

There was no signs in the early stages of the very short preseason we’ve had together and we were unfortunate to find ourselves a goal behind halfway through the 1st half through a well struck free kick.
We rolled up the sleeves and drew ourselves level minutes later when Edmond Murphy was up ended inside the villa penalty area, our no.9 dusted himself off to convert from 12 yards and get himself off the mark for the  season.
So level at halftime, an evenly fought contest was decided by another set piece when we were awarded a free kick 10 minutes into the 2nd half. Up stepped Oisin O’Hanlon, our tenacious left back, to crash a strike off the underside of the crossbar and into the net.
The boys can be very proud of the performance throughout but in particular the final 20 minutes after going ahead, when they showed great resilience to keep out everything the villa could throw at them lead by captain TJ Curran.

Dungarvan 3 Mooncoin 5

Our u11s got off to a flyer in their opening game of the season with a well deserved win in Dungarvan. Kieran Quinn opened the scoring combining well with Michael Foran up front. Michael soon put in Huey O Hanlon Blanc for his first of 2 great goals. Leading 3-0 at the break 6 changes were made and we started to struggle with Dungarvan pulling it back to 3-2 before Ciro Kibinski got his first of the season with a great finish. Dungarvan scored soon after making for a tense finish at 4-3 before Ciro bagged his second in the last few minutes to seal the win for the boys. Epic scenes ! Congratulations to the boys on their first competitive win at the first attempt
