There was a large gathering of players from Waterford and Cork for a U15 and U13 girls blitz of football in Carriganore at the weekend and there were 3 representatives from Mooncoin Celtic with Ciara O’Keeffe playing at U15 level and Emily Blackmore, Mia Ponce de Leon playing at the u13 level.

There were not quite halves but 3 sections played in 30 minute stints. Ciara played a good part of the 2nd and 3rd segments, confident on the ball and strong on the tackle. The u15 game ending in a draw.

In the u13 match Emily scored 2 goals in the 3rd stint, the second goal was all about being in the right place at the right time, and no better person than Emily to score that one. Mia played in goal for the 3rd stint and pulled off some good saves, the best being a one on one situation to deny a Cork attacker that was through on goal. Mia kept a clean sheet and Waterford u13 girls ran out winners of their match.

A great showing from all 3 Mooncoin girls and hopefully more to come in 2020.

With the news breaking of the 6.8 million lotto jackpot after been won locally with the winning ticket purchased in Blanchfields, unfortunately it was not the 300 Club Syndicate, much to the dismay of everyone involved.
Congratulations to the lucky punter who did win it and enjoy the spending.
Next time lads, next time!

Our first game in 8 weeks at at time we showed a bit of ring rustiness. That being said we domainted this game from start to finish but found it hard to breakdown a stubborn DLS who defended on mass for the full hour. We needed a spark to score and our 3 subs of Liam Mackey, Jake Doherty and in particular luke Harrington gave us that spark. The breakthrough came when josh McLoughlin latched onto a thru ball and finished bravely into the bottom corner despite the attention of 2 defenders and the on rushing keeper, a good game to blow off the cobwebs the whole squad performed well but our man of the match goes to Darragh alyward who was brilliant from start to finish.

The rain fell continuously for the duration of the game and unfortunately the goals rained down aswell in favour of league leaders Dungarvan who deservedly won 6-1. Player manager Trevor Dunphy notched the goal on a night best forgotten.

Two shots on target from Dungarvan Celtic, one from a free kick and the other from a penalty resulting in the two goals conceded was the cruel reward for a galant effort from the lads. The Dungarvan Celtic goalkeeper was man of the match which says it all.

Somewhat of a depleated squad for the U11 Blue group this morning, but those that did take part put in a great shift and were well able to score some fine goals.

There were two changes in the venue and an earlier start (10am) and some tired heads with all of the lads staying up late for the Late Late Toy Show but none of this distrubed the great progress the u11 green squad are making.

The WIT Arena out in Carriganore was a fine setting for 2 cracking matches between Bohs and Mooncoin, there were loads of goals, clear passing some great saves and huge smiles at the end of this match.
