Our u11s played a strong Dungarvan team today with birthday boy cormac captain for the game. The match started frantically with both sides having chances but Dungarvan took theirs and were soon 2 nill up after 10 mins. We made a few changes and steadied the match but conceded just before half time.
We came out fighting in second half and Edmund went on a mazy run beating a couple players before floating the ball in top corner from a distance, we kept pushing forward and had a few chances but were caught on the counter attack and conceded a 4th.
Dungarvan had us on back foot for the last 10 minutes with thomas making some excellent saves but Dungarvan got their 5th.
A first defeat of the season against a more experienced side but an excellent effort by all the team.
Man of the match Edmond

It was an early Saturday morning road trip for the girls with the 11am kick off away to last years league and Cup Winners in Carlow Vale Wanderers. Following on from our first league match a defeat, We as a group had put in immense amount of work and effort on the training pitch. And it showed. We took the lead through Aoibhe Rees early in the game, and our lead was doubled by Áine Connery. The first half was controlled perfectly by the girls, and we were unlucky not to have a bigger lead at the halfway stage. The second half started with the girls pushing for a third goal to kill the game off. The goal did come from Áine who had a super game. Wanderers rallied and pulled a sloppy goal back, and with their tails up, they managed to get a second one that Sadhbh in goal, had no chance. We endured a tense few minutes, and We were very grateful to (safe hands)Sadhbh when she pulled out a couple of great saves to keep our slender lead. The girls regrouped and took control of the game when Saoirse Corcoran played in midfield for the first time, got into the opposing box to clinch a late fourth goal to put in result to bed.(and win a €5 from JP)
It was a performance that the girls can be very proud of. From the goalie to the defence to the midfield to the strikers to the subs, this was a super performance that earns us a home tie against Stoneyford FC in the next round. Well done to all involved.

A right game was played out in near perfect conditions against a physically stronger Ballyduff side. We created lots of chances in each half and could well have got a draw. Goals from Kieran M with 2 and Harry P. Great progress by these young lads.

Despite the result it was a very positive performance for our young side. In the first half we went 1-0 down from a Southend rebound off the crossbar where we didn’t win the 2nd ball. The boys kept battling hard and got a couple chances but it wasn’t to be. Southend got goals 2 and 3 early in the 2nd half both from corners that should’ve been cleared. They also followed up with a 4th not long after. Despite everything the boys kept pushing until they finally got a goal with TJ kicking the ball from his hand out to Tadhg M on the right wing who crossed the ball for Donncha M to slot into the bottom left corner. TJ made plenty saves throughout the game that should’ve been certain goals. Special mention goes to Tom D who threw his body in the way to block some certain goals and standing solid in his first game in centre back.

Mooncoin travelled to Carrick yesterday for an u18 girls fixture ,and left Tom Drohan Park with all three points on Offer .
We started the game well moved the ball very well , getting our heads up and making some good passes . We scored on the 20 minute mark when Sommer took a corner sending the ball in , with Molly long making sure it made its way to the back of the net . And saw a second added on 35 minutes when Sarah walsh threaded a beaut of a ball to Ella Brennan who took her chance and slotted home.
The second half saw our goalie Grace O Toole take a spill and unable to see the remainder of the Game out . Emily Blackmore was on hand and donned the goalie gloves , and we continued with the game . Some sloppy defensive work saw us conseed a goal from a carrick corner , which made for another exciting and nail biting finish to the game .
On the whole our back Four did a superb job. Working together at all times . Everyone one of the girls who took part today gave it their all ,and were rewarded at the full time whistle taking away all three points

A slow start again saw us two down after 15 minutes with two rebounds tucked away. We did settle down and pulled a goal back on 20 minutes but were dealt a major set back with a straight red card dished out for a late challenge. We equalised on 30 minutes through Adam Conway with an excellent finish from 25 yards. Our ten men worked tirelessly for the entire second half but a soft free kick with 10 minutes to go saw Park Rangers grab the 3 points.

Disgraceful weather in Curracloe today for a noon kick off. You wouldn’t put the ducks out in it but by God did these two teams serve up a treat of a game and went toe to toe for 70 minutes before another 20 minutes of extra time before the dreaded penalties saw Curracloe get through. A mighty performance by all on duty with Ciara Lynch getting the goal to put us one up but Curracloe showed their class with a good finish of their own. Big thank you to all who travelled and put up with shocking conditions.
Best of luck to Curracloe United in the next round and thanks for the refreshments afterwards in their fabulous clubhouse.

A super first half performance had this game put to bed early. Billy O’K with one and two finishes from Will D plus an excellent penalty save from Tyler K saw the lads 3 up at half time. They controlled the second half to ease in to the next round with a trip to wexford.
