Hi Everyone , so just a quick update on where we are at with our event.

The final figures on what we made and will be donating to Epilepsy Ireland in Kate’s name will be released tomorrow night. 🎉🎉 It’s very exciting and we are blown away by the success of the event.

So with that we have to mention a huge thanks to our sponsors of the day

Peter Brennan of Ashgrove Transport
David Brennan of Eastgate Engineering
Comerford’s Bar Mooncoin
The Rose of Mooncoin
Brandoín De Paor at Emerald Tiles Clonmel
Colm and Louise Lehane

Without the above generosity the day could not have been such a success with marquee, toilets, music, bar, tuck shop, DJ and all the little things that made it so special. We are so grateful for your support 🙏 🙏

It is amazing to see people get behind this special cause for something so dear to Mooncoin Celtic AFC women’s team and it will ever be forgotten, it was the first time organising an event like this so again thank you all so much for the support 🙏 🙏 🙏

A massive thank you also to the teams that came and helped make it such a special day. Benfica FC, Kilmacow FC, Kilmac AFC, Abbeyside AFC, Piltown FC we hope to see you all again next year. Also thanks to both Portlaw utd FC and Park Rangers AFC who couldn’t make it on the day but gave generous donations

Look forward to bigger and better next year 💙

Tragic week

Posted on by

The past week has thrown local football and Waterford city and surrounding areas in to mourning with the loss of three young men who were in the prime of their lives. All in Mooncoin Celtic offer their condolences to the family and friends of Gilbert Collins and Avu Idris who tragically lost their lives in an accident last week on the Cork Road and condolences also to the family and friends of Michael Grant who passed away while away on holiday. Having experienced the loss of a young player recently ourselves in Mooncoin Celtic when we lost young Kate Corcoran last November, the clubs and soccer families of the three lads in Waterford Crystal, Villa and St Joseph’s FC respectively will feel a huge loss and will recover in time but for now it’s important to look out for each other and watch over all the young and old players in your clubs in the coming weeks and months. Three good guys have been taken way too soon, two young men who were only making their way in life in Gilbert and Avu, and a truly passionate coach and clubman in Michael Grant.
RIP Gilbert, Avu and Granter.

U12D Cup Final Result Mooncoin Celtic 0 Park Rangers 5

Posted on by

The boys hard work and determination all season saw them get to a cup final in tramore against Park rangers. Unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be as park rangers took a 2-0 lead heading into the 2nd half in an evenly contested 1st half. The 2nd half saw us go flat and we couldn’t seem to create many chances for ourselves. Although the cup win wasn’t meant to be this does not take away from all the boys’ efforts all season to get themselves to this point. They have all shown massive progress all season and we couldn’t be prouder of how well they have got on as a team all year on and off the pitch. The positivity out of this group is unmatched and they were all willing to fight for each other in every game this season. It has been a pleasure to be able to coach this group this season.
