Mooncoin Celtic 1
Piltown 4
Title chasing Piltown were the visitors on a sunny afternoon and the girls set their stall out early to contain the dangerous piltown attack. Losing Sophie early on to a broken collar bone did not help things but a penalty was tucked away by Lexi to send us one up. Gaynor cup keeper Hannah then saved a penalty and it looked like the girls would get to half time with the lead but two scrappy goals just before half time undone the hard work. An early goal in the second half killed off the game but the girls persevered and put it up to piltown in a physical battle throughout. A sloppy fourth saw piltown take the three points. Much improved by all the girls on duty.

Mooncoin Celtic 1
A winner deep deep in to injury time for Carrick United saw them crowned league champions. The girls gave it their all back and took an early lead through Katelyn Moore but Carrick equalised with a tidy finish on the half hour. Emily was unlucky with an effort with ten minutes remaining before that late finish secured the title for Carrick. Congratulations to Carrick on the league win.

We held our weekly Eastgate Engineering sponsored Dixie Dribblers Academy session in fine weather and also hosted Piltown in u9 games. Congratulations to player of the week winners TJ, Oisin, Jack, Aria and Gianni 🏆⚽️.

1B League Result
Kilmacow 1
Mooncoin Celtic 2
A tense derby in damp conditions was played out with plenty chances for both sides. Eric Conway done the business by stopping a penalty in the first half but couldn’t stop kilmacow taking the lead shortly after half time. A little reshuffle and tweak and Jamie Grace rose highest to nod home a long throw in that was flicked on. With ten minutes to go, another long throw was flicked on and this time Tadhg Derwin smashed home what proved to be the winner. Southend are next up for the boys as they continue to improve.
