A strong breeze was blowing throughout the game in Coolnamuck today with our boys having it behind them in the first half. A quick throw in released Will Doherty and he buried his chance with the Carrick defence caught off guard.

The second half was a different story with sleet falling throughout the second half along with the strong breeze but we weathered the storm throughout to clinch the three points in what is always a tough place to go.

A disappointing result for Jake Moore’s troops with the boys very very unlucky not to get a draw at the very least. One very legitimate goal was deemed not to have crossed the line while a blatant offside saw Ballyduff seal the game just as the lads were putting serious pressure on the home side.

Plenty of positives taken by the coaches regardless of the result. On to the next one.

It was always going to be one goal that settled this game and Thomastown were the ones who got it with a long distance free kick with 10 minutes left evading everyone to put Thomastown through.

A young Tramore team deservedly walked away with 3 points thanks to a late winner. Plenty opportunities for our boys to score throughout but not to be today.

Hats off to Tramore coaches Chris and John for playing sweepers afterwards and leaving the away dressing room spotless.

Tyler led the boys out as captain for the first game of the new year and they were off to a flyer within the first few minutes with Dylan slotting home from close range after good pressing up top.

The boys worked extremely hard throughout the half and were rewarded with a second soon after with more pressure from Dylan causing confusion in the Kilmacow defence resulting in an own goal.

Another og was scored by Kilmacow early in the second half, just reward for good passing from Mooncoin in the build up. The assist of the game however goes to Ethan for our fourth.

As he received the ball on the edge of the box he took one touch with the left before laying it off deftly to Noel with his right who coolly slotted into the corner for his second of the season.

Kilmacow didn’t let the heads drop and won a penalty soon after which they buried into the goal. Mooncoin weren’t done either and TJ weighed up his options on the break and smashed the ball low and hard past the opposition keeper.

This was a well deserved first win for this team having been unlucky in previous games and there is certainly more to come in the next few weeks.
