A third consecutive draw keeps the lads unbeaten after 4 games but they’ll be cursing their poor finishing throughout.

Yes, another cup tie and another penalty shootout but this time we were on the wrong end of it.

This group have been improving hugely with every game and deserve huge credit for a great performance.

Remembering Rocky

Posted on by

Today marks 7 years since this colourful character left us. Coach Rocky who played a big role in the development of so many kids playing soccer in Mooncoin over the years. Still missed around the club, the village and especially walking up and down that hill to the Heights with shades on and a smile and a wave and the odd funny comment for those he came across.

A lightening start by Benfica saw this game done early and the girls couldn’t get back in to the game against the experienced outfit. Emily Blackmore did pull a goal back but disappointing result for the squad.

U16A Girls
Piltown 4 Mooncoin Celtic 0
A disappointing result after doing well in the first half with a few chances coming out way but no finished product. Piltown nicked the lead on the stroke of half time and pulled away in the second half despite the efforts of Hannah on goal.

Friday
Our Dixie Dribblers Academy which is kindly Sponsored by Eastgate Engineering and the kids travelled to Carrick United on Friday evening in their new Eastgate Engineering sponsored jerseys to take on the Carrick United academy.

Saturday

A very tense game which was scoreless at half time thanks to a couple of great saves from the visiting keeper. Eventually the deadlock was broken when a long range effort from Shay deceived the keeper and this secured the three points on offer.

U14 Boys
Ballinroad 1
Mooncoin Celtic 3
The lads travelled to west Waterford knowing only a win would do to keep their chances of league glory alive against an unbeaten Ballinroad and the boys duly obliged with their best performance to date with goals from Viktor, Aaron and Ali making sure they stay in the hunt and keep the pressure on Villa and Ballinroad.

Sunday
U16A Girls
Villa 2 Mooncoin Celtic 1
A tight physical battle was played out between two evenly matched teams with Villa taking the lead in to half time but Lexi responded after half time with an equaliser.
