We travelled to Dungarvan on Thursday evening for the semi-final playoff of the league. Unfortunately, it wasn’t our day. The girls tried their hardest , but the recent amount of hard games to get us to this point caught up with us. Dungarvan took an early lead, but we struck back through a Molly Quinn tap in. Dungarvan retook the lead before halftime. In the second half, we tried to tweak our formation, but it proved unsuccessful. Dungarvan extended their lead on 63 minutes and again on 77 minutes. Our girls were exhausted at this stage, and the game went away from us. Fulltime Dungarvan 4 Mooncoin Celtic 1.
This game brings the curtain down on our season, and we, the coaches, are very proud of every girl that came on our journey this season. It started off slow, but through everyone’s efforts and determination, our season got better and better, resulting in us being involved in both Cup and league semifinals. To the girls that are moving onto u18s next season we wish you all the best. To the girls who are staying we will have girls coming up from the double winning u14 squad, so we think that the future is going to be bright.
Thanks for all your help throughout the year and we’ll hopefully go that extra mile next time.
Hopefully everyone can make the Soccer Marathon on Sunday where player of the year and most improved player awards will be given out.
JP, Amy, Chris and Buggy.

A rip roaring Cup tie with drama from start to finish. Thankfully the boys came out on top with goals from Kai 2 and Billy snatching the 3rd but carrick gave as good as they got and could well have snatched a draw but we hung on in the end. All roads lead to Tramore on Thursday evening where we face Park Rangers in the final at 7pm.

Two huge fixtures for the club tomorrow evening and support for both will be crucial for them.
Our U16 girls who have been in sparkling form head to Dungarvan for a League play off semi final, kicking off at 7pm with the winners facing Park Rangers in the final to decide who wins the league.
At 7pm in Tramore, our U12B side face Park Rangers in the Cup Final and Jake Moore’s side will be hoping to continue their good form and snatch a well deserved trophy after a long season.
Please get out and support our teams if possible.

As reports go, this is the hardest one so far this season. On Tuesday evening, we welcomed our near neighbours Piltown to Suir Cresent for the Cup Semi Final. Piltown started the brighter, but our girls kept them at bay until they took the lead on 21 minutes, and on 31 minutes, they doubled their lead. The girls dug deep and created a couple of glorious chances to get us back in the tie but were denied. Eventually, our pressure paid off when Áine Connery delivered a great goal coming up to half time. The second half started much like the first, but we struck in the 51st minute through Keelin Byrne to level up the game. It was end to end stuff for the remainder of the 80 minutes. Full time 2 2, so extra time beckoned. On the 84th minute Piltown hit our net to take the lead again. Our girls tried and tried to get a deserved equaliser, but unfortunately, it wasn’t to be. Even in defeat, it possibly was the best performance of the girls so far. We are after having a very good few weeks, and this team is really after developing into a great little team.
But we have to raise ourselves again this week as on Thursday evening we head to Dungarvan for a B League semi-final. There is still plenty to play for.

A confident display from Jake Moore’s charges who head in to a semi final at home to Carrick United next Tuesday evening aiming for a final slot. Goalscorers on the night were Seanie with 2, Luke, Dylan, Shay and Kai.

Tuesday evening we welcomed Waterford Crystal to Suir Cresent for our last scheduled league match.
This was a game that we controlled from the kick off. On 7 minutes we were awarded a penalty which was clinically dispatched by Ella Brennan. On 20 minutes Áine Connery doubled the score slotting home from a smart free kick from Ella. On 29 Ella got her second of the game. On the stroke of halftime Mollie Murphy added to the scoreline poking the ball into the net from a corner. On 62 minutes Stephanie Phelan scored the fifth for Mooncoin with a super free kick.
We had a squad of 17 for the game and everyone got at least 30 minutes. It was a great team performance where all girls played their part. A massive thank you to Hannah Dobbyn for stepping in between the posts for us tonight as Sadhbh wasn’t available. Hannah had a very good game. To our young opposition it wasn’t their night but in time their day will come.
Our girls have a quick turn around as they’re playing Park Rangers on Thursday evening in Suir Cresent at 7.30 in the Cup. All support is welcome.
League wise we are now in a 3 way play off with Dungarvan, Park Rangers and ourselves for the B league.

On a day where anything was possible . These two teams took to the pitch in a 5 goal thriller , where each possible ending meant a different outcome to what has been an exciting 18s league .
A Win for the home side meant the league would be won in Ben wadding park for Bohemians , a draw would mean that Carrick United would top the poll and a win for Mooncoin would mean that we live to fight another day , and force a play off with Carrick for the top prize .
A nervy start saw Bohs dictate the play . But we soon settled in and started to get ourselves involved . On the 14 minute mark Emily Blackmore made her presence known when she took possession of the ball by the corner flag and headed towards goal , taking a look towards the goal , she took aim from a tight angle and got her shot away, the ball sailed to the top comer of the net . We settled a little at this point and imposed ourselves on the home side . Molly Long played a pivotal role today and her work rate on the wing was superb . On the other wing Ella Brennan played her part , breaking down play and forcing the ball forward . Hannah Carol and Sommer Grant worked tirelessly in Midfield to get the ball forward.
In defence , Kate McGrath and Eimear Quinn, along with Niamh Reddy and Gracie O Toole, did what was necessary to keep the opposition at bay .
Ten mins from Half time we struck again after winning a ball in the centre of the park through a Hannah Carroll tackle , she passed to Molly Long who got a pass to the feet of Emily , who took a touch , and with only her left foot as an option hit a shot that rattled the net . Sarah Walsh put in another mammoth shift for us today and was unlucky not to score before the halftime break .
The second half was a completely different affair, and bohemians managed to get themselves right back into the game . It was all square heading into the last 20 mins of the game .
Full credit to our girls , who dug deep ….. and kept the pressure on . In the 68th minute, a throw ball collected by Molly Long was cleverly sent it over the heads of both sets of players outside the box for Emily volley the ball and it flew to the back of the net , to the delight of the travelling support . We closed the game out with our defence and Keeper Abbie Hassett on full alert, knowing what was at stake . Subs Ciara Ross , Sophie Scahill, Mollie Murphy, and Keelin all
played their part today in a fantastic team effort .
Todays result means the league will be decided in a play off between ourselves and Carrick United .
Massive thanks to the supporters today and all season .
