Mooncoin Celtic win 4-2 on Penalties

Little to separate these sides from the off with our lads creating the better chances and probably should’ve won it in normal time but it wasn’t to be. On to the dreaded penalty shoot out where hero of the day Daragh Murphy done the business and saved two Villa penalties to send the boys through to the final where they will meet Ballinroad or DLS on Monday week. Massive well done to both players and management. Their efforts from the training ground over the winter are being rewarded.

A busy day in Kerry today where Waterford girls U12 squad played in a 5 team group with Wexford, South Tipp, Kerry and Cork. A draw, a win and 2 defeats for Waterford but a good day was had by all with plenty learned. The win against South Tipp saw one Emily Blackmore score a screamer in a 2-1 win.

Following on from a great performance last weekend against 2nd place Kilmacow we went up against the league leaders today. Will Cuddihy started at left back and was easily one of the best players on the pitch before the Seaview striker put a bad tackle in which unfortunately ended his game. Not many clear cut chances seen us go in level at the break.

Second half started as the first with not many chances but we defended very well while creating some nice possession passing football. Seaview took the lead out of nothing but the lads didn’t drop the heads and kept fighting. A change of formation seen a break down the right hand side and a high cross go into the box with our Waterford star Emily Blackmore flick a header onto the feet of the ever present Eoin O’Callaghan to tap into the net. We kept fighting and looked like we were going to come away with an upset only for Seaview to score with almost the last kick off the game. Some disappointed kids at the end who deserved a draw at least for their fight but we’ll be ready to battle for the next game.

I’ve been told recently that Will is recovering nicely at home with the feet up playing Fortnite on the Xbox.

Mooncoin Celtic win on penalties.

A tit for tat cup game with the lads scrapping through on penalties. Neville Synnott put the lads ahead but were pegged back by Johnville before the dreaded penalty shoot out. There was plenty of chances during the game but the lads couldn’t convert especially Scoby who missed a penalty. After his recent hot scoring streak, confidence was high but tonight was not his night when he felt the pressure of sealing the game when they were leading 1-0 and missed the penalty to secure an easy passage to the next round. On to the shoot out where again Scoby was unsuccessful from 12 yards but the lads rescued the situation to put them through against Park Rangers on Wednesday evening in Ashgrove.

We’ve been asked to advertise a pair of boots for sale, size 10. Rarely used and its been advised to NOT take penalties with these boots. €10 O.N.O

A fickle auld game this soccer can be!

Just a little note on the academy activities:
Our younger group of u6s travelled to play Piltown yesterday in a little blitz with goals, saves and tackles galore on display from both clubs. Big thanks to Trevor Lacey and the lads in Piltown for having us.

Our u9s play Carrick in Ashgrove this evening at 6pm. These games are in preparation for the Clover tournament in a couple of weeks.

Tomorrow the girls academy team travel to play Bohs at 11am in Poleberry. This little group is growing every week with good progress being made every session.

We can’t let the day pass without wishing the very best of luck to young Emily Blackmore as she travels to Killarney for the FAI tournament with the Waterford U12 girls squad this Sunday. A massive achievement for this young player who is still u11 and will fly the flag for both her family and club this weekend.
