Mooncoin hosted ferrybank in an exciting game from start to finish. The boys were well on top before a ferrybank goal kick went over our defence for the striker to put it past goalkeeper Patrick to make it 1-0 on the 15 minute mark. We retaliated quick through oisin who smashed it in with a half volley to get his first of 3 for the day. We quickly scored another goal with oisin using good footwork and tapping it in the bottom right corner to put us 2-1 up. Ferrybank quickly scored a second when the ball again went over our defence this time from a free kick and tapped it in to the goal. We went into into the break at 2-2. The boys knew at half time they should’ve been winning at the break with a few little mistakes costing them, they were determined to put that right in the 2nd half. Within the first 2 minutes Pete crossed in the ball to oisin who hammered it home to secure his hat trick and put us up 3-2. Shortly there after shay was determined to get his first goal of the season getting very close on a couple of occasions before he glided past the ferrybank defence and smashed it in the corner off of the crossbar to get his first of the season. The ball broke from a Billy corner kick and shay was there again outside the box and got a sweet connection with the ball flying in the bottom right corner to get his 2nd of the game and to put us 5-2 up. Shay again showed some good footwork to put the ball past a couple defenders and tapped it in the bottom corner to seal his hat trick. Seanie M also got on the scoresheet for the first time this morning with a nice goal from the edge of the box going in the bottom right corner to make it 7-2. The hard work on the training ground has been starting to show for this group across the last 2 games and we hope to keep the momentum going.

Disappointing result for the boys in this one despite being short a couple of starters. Kilmac took the lead with a fortunate bounce over the keeper. Peter W pulled a goal back midway through the second half but a late goal saw Kilmac take the points on offer.

A quick start saw us three up inside 15 minutes thanks to a hat trick from Kieran Fagan, one header and two left footed finishes. A Stephen Wall finish on 80 minutes saw out the game.

A sluggish start from the girls saw them 1 down in the first few minutes against Bohs this morning but that kicked them into gear and they knocked 5 goals past Bohs with no reply. Hat trick for Lexi, and goals for Sophie and Briona saw the match end 1-5 to us.

Our Ladies team travelled to Tramore this evening for our second to last game of Womens Winter League .

In a beautiful gesture , Tramore presented our club with a pennant . Given in friendship and in memory of our player The Late Kate Corcoran .

This young team gave one of their best performances in the winter league this evening . And although the score was 3-1 to the home side , the score line doesn’t in anyway reflect the game as a whole .

We started the game strongly and made some very good passes . We were getting our heads up and picking out players and passes . Our back four led by one of our Captains Amy Lehane stood firm and worked hard together to extinguish any imminent Tramore danger .
Bathany and Hannah Carroll played some excellent football in the centre of the Park breaking down play and getting ball foward . Our youngest player Ella Brennan was a thorn in the side of the opposition this evening and proved her worth on the field of play . Emily Blackmore and Rebecca Derwin were our ladies up front and battled hard for 90 minutes this evening.
We took the lead on the 25 minute mark , when Ella Brennan broke free of a tackle and put the ball down the line for Emily Blackmore , who took a touch and seeing the Tramore keeper off her line , took a shot from just outside the box the sailed to the back of the net . On the 40 minute mark a Tramore player found themselves one on one with Our Keeper Abbie Hassett and what looked to be a sure fire goal was saved by the determined keeper .
At the break we led 0-1
Tramore pulled a goal back ten minutes into the second half . But our heads didn’t drop . Added a second 15 from the finish . We had a couple of chances but didn’t capitalise on them . Tramore netted a third with a couple of minutes on the clock . Putting daylight between the teams .
The result didn’t go our way this evening . But there was so many positives from our performance, that it’s hard to be too disheartened. Many thanks to all who travelled to support us .

A mid afternoon kick off away to Kilmacow on a mild day for our u14s today. Both teams took a while to settle but midway though the half Cathal surged through and his shot beat the keeper and hit the post but Robbie was there to slot away the rebound. Just before half time Kilmacow equalised when the ball wasn’t cleared in the box. Second half remained a tight affair until Cathal scored from Canices corner. Cathal got a second from the penalty spot after being brought down following a strong run down the left. With 5 minutes to go, Conor F got on the scoresheet hitting a sweet volley from a lovely through ball. Match finished with a 4-1 win to Mooncoin. Great effort from the whole squad today and thanks to the lads who travelled back from Carlow today to play.

Our u14 girls made the short trip to play league leaders Piltown. They showed no sign of rust despite going over 10 weeks without a game played. We went in two goals to the good at half time, both scored by Lexi. A further two goals in the second half from Sophie and Siobhan secured all three points and an important win for Mooncoin.

Bragging rights went the way of our boys after this tight Derby match played in breezy sticky conditions. Kilmacow drew first blood but Jamie Croke hit a double to secure another three points for a team that is improving every game.

After a very slow start, the girls went in two nil down at half time. They kicked into gear for second half with Maria Dunphy finishing off a great team goal. We were very unlucky not to come away with at least the draw, if not the win, with the girls piling on the pressure for the last ten minutes.

A disappointing result in this Derby game with Piltown 2 up within 15 minutes and 3 up at half time. Two more in the second half saw honours go piltowns way. Best on the day, Bradley, Charlie and Ella.
