U11F Boys League: Mooncoin Celtic 0 – 0 St Saviours

Liam F captained the lads today who were looking to avoid a third straight defeat. There were very few clear cut chances in a nervy first half.

Second half was more entertaining and the lads were unlucky not to take the lead but Billy’s shot went wide via the post. Minutes later Tom’s shot was saved by the keeper having been put through on goal.

TJ’s handling needed to be good on a couple of occasions and was fast off his line when called upon.

Credit also goes to Tadhg for the ground covered in midfield throughout as well as his intelligent use of the ball. 0-0 it finished for the first draw of the season.

U17 Girls League: Villa 2 – 6 Mooncoin Celtic

The u17 girls travelled to villa today and from the first whistle our girls worked as a team and supported each other from front to back. Emily Blackmore took her first chance from a free kick outside the box which was slotted perfectly into the net.

The girls continued to work hard and won another free this time on the left wing. Sommer Grant was next to have shot and saw her excellent driving free kick hit the back of the net. Our third goal came from some excellent play on the right wing from Emily and Sommer to set up Sarah Walsh who slotted the ball with pin point accuracy into the bottom corner.

In the second half more of the same and Emily scored her second with a long range shot on her left foot. We then failed to press a villa player who scored to bring it back to 4-1.


Our girls reacted to this in the perfect way with a fantastic run down the right wing from Aoibhe Rees who crossed it in to Sommer Grant who slotted home her second of the match. Our final goal came from a half way line break from Aoibhe Rees who fired home for our 6th.

Villa got a second goal in the final moments of the match. Huge effort by all our girls, every single girl was excellent today to earn another 3 points.

U14 Girls B League: Mooncoin Celtic win at Park Rangers

Our last league game of the season for our u14 white girls, and it did not disappoint. Ciara Lynch got the ball rolling with her first of the day. Leah Twomey who has excelled in just about every position this campaign added another, followed shortly by Ciara’s second. Lexi scored her first just before half time.


Park Rangers never dropped their heads and got two back, but Lexi put daylight between the sides again with her second of the day. Anna Reddy scored her customary goal with a superb half volley, giving the keeper no chance.

And for the second game in a row there was just enough time for Alexi to seal her hat trick. The goal scorers always get the plaudits but this is a team game and the whole squad have been excellent throughout our league campaign and remain unbeaten in our home ground of Suir Crescent.

They shored things up at the back thereafter but conceded from a free kick on the stroke of half time. In the second half they played far better and were unlucky not to score with a header from Tadhg.

3A League: Mooncoin Celtic 3 – 0 Kilbarry Rangers

After last week’s disappointing result in the cup against St Paul’s, the players wanted to right a few wrongs and did it very well.

From start to finish, they really performed as a team, giving title hopefuls Kilbarry no time at all to settle in to the game. A Jamie Moore free kick sent us on our way, quickly followed by a Ryan Carroll header and we could have been further ahead only for poor finishing. Second half saw similar effort and pressure from the boys and a Jason Sauvage long range effort finished the game as a contest.

Really good performance and end to the season by all on duty, Man of the match must go to Chris’Mick McCarthy ‘ O’Hanlon for his efforts throughout.

U11F Boys League: Mooncoin Celtic 2 – 3 Tramore

Eoin was captain for the day and led the boys into a pulsating match which saw Mooncoin dominate the early stages but the final ball was lacking despite their good build up play.

Tramore grew into it and were unfortunate not to score but for some brilliant goalkeeping from TJ with his hands and feet also. Tom hit a powerful shot from distance which the keeper managed to get both hands to. Rueben came in ten minutes before half time and linked up brilliantly with Billy only for the keeper to intercept the pass.

Tramore made the breakthrough on the stroke of halftime however with an unbeatable strike into the far corner. Some fresh legs came in the second half but Tramore went on the attack sending their forward through on goal but his well struck shot was somehow caught by Tom on the goal.

They followed up soon after with a second. Mooncoin got back into it with Billy haring down the left wing and his whipped cross was turned into the Tramore goal by their defender as he was running back. Shane showed great pace and endeavour down the right side as Mooncoin created chance after chance. Tramore got their third with a well taken volley which looped into the goal.

Mooncoin pressed on and Shane struck a brilliant goal after a goalmouth scramble. Billy hit the crossbar late on also but an equaliser never came in the end.

A heroic defeat for the boys who to a man played out of their skin today and scored two against the league leaders who up to now only conceded two all year. 3-2 the final score to the visitors.
