Mooncoin Celtic Soccer Marathon 2023

Last Sunday we held our annual soccer marathon which was followed by our end of season awards. A big crowd came through our new gates and enjoyed a lovely sunny afternoon with plenty of fun had among coaches and players in all games and cross bar challenges. We finished with our player of the year awards for season 2022 /2023. A big thanks to everyone that helped set up for the day, Wild Willow Coffee Trailer for pitching up for the day and our two chefs Adam Cunningham and Mark Quinn for running the BBQ. Thanks must go to Mondo’s Takeaway for sponsoring our crossbar challenge prizes. Final thanks goes to everyone that sponsored our Soccer Marathon, it was very much appreciated.

1B League Result Mooncoin Celtic 2 Seaview Celtic 2


A rip roaring start in Suir Crescent this evening with Adam Cunningham opening the scoring from a neat free kick routine on 10 minutes. Chances to beat the band came throughout the first half for us and Ryan Carroll tucked away our second on 25 minutes. A poor defensive error resulted in a goal being pulled back for Seaview. Try as we might we couldn’t add to our tally before half time. Second half saw a similar trend, chances a plenty but no finish to extend our lead and we got punished on 80 minutes with Seaview tucking away the equaliser. We still had more chances before the end but again poor finishing and good goalkeeping kept us out. Disappointing result but we’ll take the positives of all the chances created throughout the 90 minutes.

Ladies League Result Park Rangers 2 Mooncoin Celtic 0


An early goal in each half saw Park Rangers secure the three points. After conceding early in the game, our girls settled and plenty chances came our way but the crossbar, goalkeeper and a number of near misses prevented us equalising.

A second goal from a corner knocked the wind out of our sails but back we came and again created plenty of opportunities but no end product.
Benfica await in the cup semi-final on Sunday at home in Suir Crescent at 3pm before our final league fixture next Wednesday away to Benfica.
