Last night we had 4 or 5 unwanted visitors at our new development in Suir Crescent where a small fire was started at the side of the old dressing rooms and also a large number of stones were thrown out on to the proposed playing pitches and also at neighbouring properties in Suir Crescent, along with empty alcohol cans being dumped . Thankfully, a number of residents were vigilant enough to contact both the club and the gardai before any further damage was done.
The culprits, both male and female and aged 15-17, fled the scene towards the Grange road once the gardai arrived. This development is a work in progress and all going well it will be open for use this time next year. We would ask all to respect the new development at all times and also ask all parents to bring this incident to the attention of their teenage kids to make them aware of such goings on. We ask all people to share this post and show people what some teenagers get up to on a Sunday night.
Big thanks to the residents in Suir Crescent for their help both last night and today.

Big well done to the Waterford u12 girls squad who performed brilliantly in a tournament in Cork today in scorching conditions. A special well done to our own Mia Ponce De Leon who done really well and kept two clean sheets.

Great result today to bounce back after our last defeat. We never gave Abbeyside a chance from the off and if they had two chances all game that was a lot. Some great passing movement down the left hand side in particular. Sam Hartwell is loving being back after injury and netted 4 of the goals today. Alex Bailey and Liam Hogan were instrumental in the making up of all those goals. We were rock solid at the back today with Ciara O’Keeffee, Tom Conway, Mikey Cronin & Denis Kinsella winning every battle that came their way. Lee Freyne passing the ball is the key to all this and he did very well going forward. Lee scored a great penalty today giving the keeper no chance. Conor Dermody & Eoin O’Callaghan Played on the wings and gave Abbeyside a nightmare all day… Adam Conway in goal wasn’t really threatened but did make two good saves. Emily Blackmore and Daniel Roberts got and both got stuck in played really well. Another 3pts today on top of 3 given next week. We are really looking forward to a run in the upcoming cup!! Well done everyone!

U11 away to Park Rangers, kick off 7pm
U15 home to Tramore, kick off 6.30
Final league fixtures for both sides with our u15s still on top but other teams still have games to play.
Our u11s have had a really good year improving every game under the watchful eye of John Hearne and his fellow coaches.
Support as usual would be most welcome.

With the final four falling last week, we go again this week which is week 9. Two are on the ever consistent Man Utd, one on Southampton and the last on Burnley. Surely we’ll get a winner today!

We welcomed league leaders Lismore to a sun drenched Ashgrove this evening and the girls were eager to put Wednesdays performance behind them. A little shake up with the line up seemed to freshen things up with Emily Blackmore starting between the sticks and Mia Ponce de Leon leading the line upfront. For 45 minutes the girls stood toe to toe with Lismore and limited them to very few chances with the back four solid throughout and if it was breached, Emily was out on it very quickly. A lobbed effort on 25 minutes had Lismore leading 1-0 at half time.
The second half started in a similar fashion with the girls getting stuck in and forcing Lismore back with a couple of chances coming from corners which Ciara O’Keeffe delivered but a solid Lismore defence were tough to break down. With the girls tiring and changes being made, leaders Lismore showed their class with a few great goals. Not the result we wanted but probably one of the best performances put in all season. With all bar one underage again next season, this squad will use the experience from this season to great effect. Big thanks to referee Noel Lavery for his usual encouragement for both teams and also to Lismore for a very sporting game.

U14 away to Abbeyside, kick off 12.30
U14 girls home to Lismore, kick off 6pm
Support for our young sides is most welcome.

A game in which the lads never really got going and probably a point gained rather than 2 points dropped. Not many chances created by either side had the score 0-0 at half time. Ferrybank scored 1st after the break, but almost immediately Mooncoin fired back with another super free kick from Ryan O Grady. Ferrybank came back at us again & we spent most of the game defending and held on for the point. Heads will have to be kept up and onto Monday for the last league game home to Tramore. Best on the day Nathan, Kyle, Luke & Ryan.

Our u11s entertained De La Salle on Tuesday evening and two excellent games took place between the two clubs with little between them. This squad play Park Rangers next Monday in what is likely to be their last game of the season.

A red hot Carrick showed their experience but not before our girls rattled them for the first quarter. Carrick got on top after that and gradually turned the screw against our young side. It is a case of taking the pain this season and reaping the rewards next season with loads of experience gained.
