This coming Sunday at 12 noon in the RSC in Waterford, our ladies team will compete in the Munster Shield Final against Limerick club Ashling Annacotty. This is a huge day for the club, probably the biggest in our 57 year history.
We are asking every man,woman and child in Mooncoin to get to the RSC on Sunday to shout on these girls to glory. Please do your best to support and tell all your family and friends to support too.

Dungarvan Utd 8
Mooncoin Celtic 1
After the heroics in Clare, it was back to business in the local league with the first league game played in hot conditions in Abbeyside FC against a very good Dungarvan team. They showed their class throughout and rattled in some class goals throughout. Emily Blackmore got our only goal on the night.

U13D Cup Final
Mooncoin Celtic 2
Ballyduff 1
A tight tense game was anticipated and it certainly played out that way with no goals in normal time but we had plenty chances through Seanie, Billy and Tyler hit the post with a header. Extra time kicked off and Lexi released Billy from the start and he made no mistake after breaking away from the defence. We had another couple of chances but didn’t take them and paid the price with Ballyduff equalising from long range. The second period came and we peppered the Ballyduff goal but to no avail with penalties looking likely but Seanie had other ideas as he jinxed his way in to the box and rifled home the winner to clinch the cup and also the double. Great scenes after the game as Jonathan raised the Mitchell Kennedy cup aloft and Tyler raised the league trophy. Some great memories created by this squad which had a sprinkling of different ages and characters. McDonald’s played host to the after party with singing and dancing aplenty. 🏆🏆

That brings the curtain down on our underage season with one league and two cups clinched 🏆🏆🏆, we had four teams finish second in their leagues, we were beaten in two other cup finals, beaten in 6 cup semi finals too. A decent underage season overall.

History Made as Our Ladies Team Become the First in the Club to Reach a Munster Final!
On Friday night, our Ladies team made history, becoming the first ever from the club to reach a Munster Final after a dramatic and hard-fought victory away to Tulla in the *Munster Shield Semi Final* .

Through sheer determination, passion, and hard work, this group has grown into something truly special.
Despite being the stronger side from the outset, we found ourselves 2-0 down inside the opening 30 minutes. But in true Mooncoin spirit, the girls refused to drop their heads. Their desire to fight back was relentless. Wave after wave of pressure followed, and their efforts were finally rewarded in the 55th minute when a free kick from Becky Connaughton was spilled by the Tulla goalkeeper, and Emily Blackmore reacted quickest to slot home and put us back in the game.
From that moment on, the belief and work ethic of the team were unmistakable. Every player dug deep. With just five minutes left on the clock, that belief paid off—Emily threaded a perfectly timed through ball to Ella Brennan, who made no mistake and hammered home the equaliser. Mooncoin had fought their way back. And were rewarded with a chance to build on that with extra time .

As the match went into extra time, legs were tired, but hearts were strong. The girls, now full of confidence, continued to push forward. Their persistence paid off again when Ella’s corner caused chaos in the box and Becky got the decisive touch to put us ahead for the first time in the match.

Tulla weren’t done yet, and it took a fantastic low save from Abbie Hassett to keep our lead intact. But Mooncoin kept pushing. Our fourth came when another excellent corner from Ella found Shauna Mullowney at the back post, who showed great composure to tee up Hannah Carroll—who unleashed a stunning strike from outside the box to score her first goal for this Ladies Team. And what a time to get it!
It was a phenomenal team performance—one built on fight, heart, and unshakable determination. Every player left everything on the pitch. The desire to win and the work rate shown throughout proved why this group of players have earned their place in a Munster Final.
We now await the winners of the other semi-final between Aisling Annacotty and Riverstown .  Preparation is well and truly underway and the squad was back training last night .  The Munster finals will take place on July 13th .
