Our youngest u10 girls headed to Faithlegg this morning for a run out against Park Rangers in sunny conditions on a fresh spring morning. Plenty goals scored by both teams with lots of positives to take from it.

A fierce contest today in sunny Piltown with little between the teams .
Our u16s took to the pitch against Piltown for an afternoon kick off .

Both teams were very disciplined at the back and for us today Sophie Scahill commanded the back four , she took control from the first kick and was consistent throughout , along with Eimear Quinn , Molly Murphy and Saoirse Corcoran .

On the 34th minute , a well taken corner from Eimear was met by Niamh Reddy who made sure the ball finished in the net , scoring her first Mooncoin Goal.

Emily Blackmore , Molly Long and Ella Brennan played some lovely through balls to Eimhin O Donohue, whose work rate today was phenomenal. And Kate McGrath worked tirelessly in the middle to keep the ball on the move .

But hats off today to keeper Sadhbh Kirwan , who in the last ten mins , when Piltown were pressing hard to find the equaliser, kept her cool and pulled off some great saves ,

Mooncoin came away with the three points in a very evenly matched and enjoyable game.

We welcomed Ballinroad to suir crescent this afternoon and both teams paid their respects before the game observing a minute’s silence for the late Kate Quinn who was laid to rest this morning.

Both teams were evenly matched and ballinroad were first to score. We had a few missed chances and ballinroad got a 2nd just before half time. Jay dunphy got one back for us minutes into the 2nd half with cathal morahan scoring another belter to make it 2-2. Conor phelan was unlucky not to score near the end.

The back line were superb again today. Final score was 2-4 to Ballinroad.

TJ was captain away to Ballyduff in a game between 8th and 9th. Some great saves from Tyler and later on from Jake were the highlights in what was a game of few chances for Mooncoin. Tl

The final score was flattering to the hosts as Mooncoin were more open at the back in the second half while pushing for a goal.

A very impressive De la Salle team showed no mercy for our understrength A side and showed why they are going to take some stopping in this league.

Aaron Dowley continued his goal scoring form with another goal.

Mooncoin Celtic U10 Girls entertained Southend this morning in Suir Crescent and are showing clear signs of improvement as this young group battled away for the duration of the game.

Disappointing result for the u14 white team who travelled to Dungarvan hoping to come away with something.

We started strong matching their intensity. An unfortunate goal conceded just before half time, meant we were on the back foot for the second half.

As we tried to claw the goal back some gaps appeared that Dungarvan took advantage of, slotting two more goals home.

We welcomed title contenders Dungarvan to Suir Crescent today and a tough challenge it turned out to be.

Our girls battled hard but the Dungarvan side came out on top with some good quality goals.

A great effort from this battling Mooncoin side but unfortunately wasn’t enough on the day.
