The League of Ireland Academy programme was launched today and officially kicks off on Saturday, with local man Daniel Ponce de Leon taking part given he recently signed from Mooncoin Celtic to the Waterford FC U14 academy.
We will be watching out for Daniel in the next few weeks and months, as he gets to play Bohemians of Dublin, Wexford FC, Shamrock Rovers, Cork and many other national teams across the county.
We wish him and his team the very best of luck in the new 2023 LOI Academy season.
Well done to our two players of the week in our academy, Cormac M and Noah T.
Thanks as always to Blanchfields Centra for their kind sponsorship of our weekly academy awards.
We had a very special guest this morning at academy in Suir Crescent to meet the big and small kids alike.
Weather was superb for it after a bitterly cold week. Santa even arrived early for a kick about with two lucky boys.
Congratulations to our two academy player of the week winners, Daniel K and John Joe W. Thanks as always to Blanchfields Centra for sponsoring these awards.
Congratulations to our first two academy player of the week winners, Emma T. and Kieran M.
Our coaches pick a player each week based on how well the kids have performed each drill, their overall behaviour and respect shown to coaches and fellow players.
The new Schoolboys season is about to start and we already have a bit of good news we would like to share with all members and supporters which occurred recently.
One of our own schoolboy players has recently requested to sign for Waterford FC and last Sunday, Daniel Ponce de Leon starred in a mini tournament for them against Rangers of Northern Ireland, Bohemians Fc and Klub Kildare, delivering excellent performances.
All in Mooncoin Celtic are absolutely delighted for Daniel on making the step up to the higher level of underage football at League of Ireland level. His attitude, hard work and superb application to everything he does on and off the pitch has paid off and Daniel has a very very bright future ahead of him in the game.
Well done to all within the club who have helped Daniel along the way from academy level right up to his recent opportunity with Waterford FC.
We will be following Daniel very closely with Waterford Fc in the U14 season of 2023. Congratulations Daniel and the very best of luck young man.
At our new grounds yesterday, we had a little mix and match of our youngest girls group teaming up with our Senior Ladies group for a short ball work session and plenty fun was had by all involved with our young u10s showing off their skills and impressing our older girls.
These young 8 and 9 year olds girls are the future stars of our female section and will be a driving force in years to come.
