Mooncoin Celtic 3
Kilmacow 0
The lads got back to winning ways in a windy suir crescent on Saturday morning.
Corey opened the scoring with a tidy finish from a great corner from Charlie. Some good work from Edmund slipped in captain for the day Jim who finished smartly to put us two up. Kilmacow started the second half much better than us with Corey and Cormac saving us on a couple occasions. Late in to the second half Kieran ran on to a powerful goal kick from Cormac and buried it past the keeper for our 3rd. A great performance all round in tricky conditions with Corey man of the match for heroics at both end.

Park Rangers 4
Our U12 girls had a right old battle with Park Rangers on a sticky pitch on Sunday morning. Goals from Caitlín Pryor and Aoibhe Vereker were not enough on the day to get the three points.

1B League
Park Rangers 5
Mooncoin Celtic 1
A disastrous start with the concession of two early goals set us back but we slowly got in to the game with plenty chances coming our way. We pulled a goal back through Kieran Fagan on the stroke of half time and rejigged formation at the break to try get on top. Plenty chances again were created but no finished product. Park Rangers capitalised on a lapse in concentration to put a two goal cushion between the teams and two late goals put a gloss on the scoreline. The display of young Tadhg Derwin on goal was the only positive we can take from it.

U16 league result Dungarvan 1 Mooncoin Celtic 4

Our girls took to the road today for the trip to Dungarvan. An early 11am kick off, and it was Mooncoin who were awake first. On 2 minutes the deadlock was broken when Mollie Murphy slotted home from a corner. On 15 minutes another Molly, Molly Quinn doubled our lead. Our girls were in control of the game from the very start. Ella Brennan made it 3 nil on 35 minutes when she managed to keep her shot low and into the net. On the hour mark Aoibhe Rees put her mark on the game when she made it 4. Dungarvan got a consolation goal shortly after but the result was never in doubt. All 17 girls that travelled got good game time and all played they’re part. Great team performance.
Let’s keep it going girls.

WSFL Under 16c Result
Piltown 1 vs Mooncoin Celtic 3

A hugely entertaining game against neighbors Piltown with little or nothing between the two sides. Both sides made loads of chances that should have been put away but it was one of those days. Piltown started to dictate the run of the game after 20 mins but against the run of play. Liam Mackey gave a beautiful thru ball to Marcos to leave him 1 on 1 with the keeper. After a great attempted save Marcos Bometon found the corner of the net. Again Piltown stepped it up and equalised before half time deservedly. After the break we started to find more space in behind the defenders and we started created some chances. Lots of which we should have converted. Fortunately we did take the lead with Liam Mackey putting us 2-1 up. Piltown didn’t give and kept coming at us but we were after finding a bit of an edge upfront. Emmett Cusack had a few chances but was clear on goal and taken down in the box. Liam Mackey converted the penalty to put us 3-1 up. Both teams finished off the game with more chances to score but we held out for the 3 points with the game being steadied by our three subs. Great team performance all round but and a few stand out ones in Micheal Murphy, Ben Buckley, Josh McLaughlin, Cian O’Leary and a safe pair of hands in goal Emily Blackmore. Man of the Match must go to Liam Mackey.. All credit to the team. Emily Blackmore, Cian O’Leary, Cormac Fenton, Gavin Coady, Ben Buckley, Josh McLaughlin, Lucas Delahunty, Micheal Murphy, Liam Mackey, Marcos Bometon, Emmett Cusack. Subs who came one were Ben Dawson, Adam Corcoran, Eoghan Drennan. Huge praise for a very good Piltown team and best of luck for the rest of the season.

Lexi put away a penalty on the stroke of half time, when Siobhan was taken down in the box after a great run at the Ballinroad defence. Second half saw both teams create chances and our opposition got the equaliser. Sophie Phelan was determined for Mooncoin to take all three points, and scored a fantastic individual goal. Final score 2-3 to Mooncoin.

U14B League Result Tramore 0 Mooncoin Celtic 5

A cold breezy evening in Tramore saw a first outing for a few weeks for this determined group. The first half saw Lexi get our first goal, which was quickly followed with our second by Sophie with Briona finishing off the half with our third. Second half saw two more goals through Ciara and an og came from a Briona corner. Credit to both teams on a cold evening and Tramore for battling away throughout and hit the woodwork twice themselves. Good three points on the road.

Women’s Winter League Mooncoin Celtic 2 Benfica 5

Mooncoin and Benfica went head to head this evening in a delayed fixture in the Women’s Winter league

Our young squad and a couple of not so young squad members took to the pitch in Ozier. Benfica got off to a flyer when they scored on the 10 minute mark . But Mooncoin reacted well and a set piece taken by Shauna Mullowney was sent to the back of the net off the boot of Emily Blackmore, who timed her strike just right . Some sloppy defending from ourselves saw us concede three goals before the break to see us go in 4-1 down at half time.
The second half was a much better half from us and we played some very good football . Pressing more with our passing and communication much improved on the first half display. Benfica added a fifth to their tally 15 mins in . We introduced our subs into the game . Caoimhe Power and Ella Brennan making an immediate impact . We added a second goal to the scoresheet halfway through the half when Ella Brennan took possession of a ball on the halfway line ….. she took off down the wing , spotting Emily in an advantageous position she played the ball out in front of her . Emily was first to the ball and headed towards goal , and with the advancing benfica keeper , she made  sure to take her shot at the right time and slotting to the bottom right corner with a lovely left foot finish . Stand out performances tonight from Sommer Grant , Kate Mcgrath, Shaunna Mullowney, and Emily Blackmore with every player putting in a massive effort.

U10 Girls

Our U10 girls travelled to Ballinroad this morning and played out an exciting game in lovely spring conditions with lots of goals scored by both teams, Kate C getting a hat trick for our girls. Happy crew and coaches after this one.
