Perfect morning in Suir Crescent to play Bohs u12s. Bohs started strongly and went 1-0 up in the first 5 minutes. Great play between Robbie and Ethan for the equaliser shortly after.
The game settled for the next quarter of an hour with both sides having chances. Shane got a goal, the ref must have had VAR on his watch as it just crossed the line. Second half and Fintan had a goal chalked off for offside when a teammate tapped it in as it was rolling over the line.
A great through ball from Fionn released Ethan and he calmly slotted home his second goal. Bradley came on up front in the second half and showed his composure to score and make the game 4-1.
Bohs didn’t give up and they got 2 goals back with a good shot and a scrambled goal from a corner.
Mooncoin defence were all determined to see out the last few minutes and it finished 4-3 in our favour.
Park Rangers Red got off to a flyer in Suir Crescent and were 2-0 up inside the first 5 minutes. They extended their lead to 3 before Mooncoin Celtic pulled one back just before half time.
Mooncoin really raised their game in the second half and brought the game back to 3-3. The Park Rangers keeper performed heroics in goal and they pulled ahead again but Mooncoin levelled it at 4-4 for a share of the spoils. Leah Twomey (2), Lexi Walsh and Aine O’Sullivan grabbed the goals for Mooncoin.
On a lovely fresh Sunday afternoon Mooncoin u16s were at home to Ballyduff.
After a nervous start from our girls Ella Brennan made a run from a wide position and with a tight angle fired across the keeper, off the post and into the back of the net to open the scoring for Mooncoin.
We created a number of chances but for the first 20 minutes took this time to settle and then we got into the groove…with another 2 goals from Ella Brennan to complete her hatrick and a hatrick from Emily Blackmore.
Sommer Grant also got on the score sheet after her 3 assists.
Player of the match was Luiseach O’Donohue who ran and battled for the full 80 minutes and was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet herself. Ballyduff got on the score sheet with a late consolation.
Every player on the team today played outstanding and as always work ethic and determination prevailed. Another 3 points in the bag and top of the table to see out the end of the year. Merry Xmas!
Game week 4 saw us visit Ballyduff . Hard day for football with a strong cross wind and a heavy pitch resulting in a battle for the upperhand for the first half.

Proudly sponsored by Trevor Dunphy tiling . For all your tiling needs .
Today’s home fixture saw us Host Tramore in another 7 goal thriller .
Mooncoin were quick off the mark today and slotted home to go one nil up after three minutes , when a superb run up the wing from Grace O Toole saw her get the cross ball to the always lurking Emily Blackmore who finished to the net .
Tramore tried to get themselves into the game but had our midfield of Sommer Grant , Ciara Corcoran and Casey Moore to contain with , who were making nothing easy for the opposition today . On the quarter hour mark when it looked like Tramore were on the attack , Ella Bailey made a superb clearance up field , for the ball to fall to the feet of Emily Blackmore , who moved forward and slotted home our second of the day .
Tramore were straight on the attack but were met by a defiant Ciara O Keeffe who was closely backed by Cayla Dunphy , who cut out any imminent threat .
Tramore had a chance of a goal on the twenty minute mark , which was foiled by our Lady between the sticks Mia Ponce De leon .
Thirty minutes in and a one two exchange between Sommer Grant and Emily allowed Emily to get a long range shot away that sailed to the back of the net .
Tramore clawed back just before the break when a free kick saw the net from a home player from a mixup in the box .
Ciara Corcoran made a superb run after winning the ball in the midfield and scored her first Mooncoin Goal
4-1 half time
The second half started in a flurry with some great passages of play between both sides.
Tramore scoring a second on the 50 minute mark.
We lost our shape a little in the middle which allowed Tramore to press and managed to grab a third goal on the 70 minute mark .
This woke our ladies up who were determined not to leave this game slip through their fingers , and credit to them , dug deep and saw the game out
An early morning visit to Faithlegg to play league leaders park rangers in the bitter cold seen us lose to a late goal in a game which had draw Written all over it.
Despite being 5 players shy we gave a good as we got and really didn’t deserve to lose.
Some great performances all around the pitch Jake in goal Eoghan in defence Daniel in midfield and our goalie Jack gave a great display up front as we were missing 3 of our 4 front players for this game every player gave their all today in a real battle but Anil was our top performer against a very strong homeside.
A cold start to the morning in Suir Crescent v Kilmacthomas u12s.
We conceded after 5 mins from a corner that was scrambled in. Fionn got us level from close range.
Mooncoin fell behind again before Ethan got 2 goals before half time. The game was finely balanced, so the well worked goal with Fionn putting Shane through to slot home eased the nerves.
Ethan got his hat trick goal before Robbie scored late on too. The score line was hard on Kilmacthomas who pushed us hard today.
Today Our U16s travelled to table toppers Park Rangers for a 12noon Kick off .
Hats scarfs and hot drinks were the order of the day for our travelling supporters .
Straight from the Off, we imposed ourselves on Park Rangers and tried to get ourselves into the flow of the game …. But Park Rangers had other plans , and took the lead with just 5 minutes on the clock .
. However that didn’t rattle us too much and we really got into the game .
Ella Bailey played her usual role today in defence and showed on more than one occasion why she deserves the captains armband , she was in constant communication with her players on the pitch , and after a shaky start , herself Sophie Schaill and Kate Mcgrath came into their own
We got our equaliser 15 mins in when Sophie Scahill made a long range clearance that was ran on to by Emily Blackmore , who only had the back of the net on her mind … and made no mistake in slotting the ball home .
Birthday Girl Luiseach O Donohue worked tirelessly today on the wing , along with teammate Niamh Reddy to keep the ball moving forward.
On the twenty minute mark were awarded a penalty from a hand ball , and Sommer Grant confidently stood up and rattled the net , putting us a goal ahead . Park Rangers came back at us again and equalised five minutes later .
Coming up on the half hour mark ,a tackle from a throw ball saw Emily Blackmore get a Pass to the foot of Aoibhe Rees who made her run towards goal . And put us in the lead , when her effort shot past the Park Rangers keeper .
With the half coming to an end Sommer Grant stood over a free kick , and a defensive error from The opposition resulted in the ball finishing in the net .
Park Rangers 3-4 Mooncoin Celtic after the first half
The second half couldn’t have been any more different from the goal filled opening half .
Both teams settled in , and were making no mistakes and cutting out any imminent dangers , Emily Cooney put in a massive shift in the second half and played some excellent football . But full credit has to go to Caoimhe Hartwell who put her best performance to date.
Ella Brennan caused all manor of havoc when she came on midway through the half . Having a shot of her own go wide of the post just two minutes after her introduction .
Mia made some fantastic saves towards the end of the Game as Park Rangers tried to find an equaliser .
The game finished up 3-4 to Mooncoin Celtic
A well earned and deserved win for these ladies , who week after week give it their all.
Abbeyside were todays visitors. For the first 20 minutes both teams fought for the upperhand.
Abbeyside took the lead but the goal seemed to wake us up and we equalised almost immediately. A good end to the half saw us go in 4.1 up at the break.
The lads put in a great second half performance from start to finish . Goals from Robbie x3, Marti x 3, Jamie & Canice.
