Mooncoin Celtic Soccer Marathon 2023
Last Sunday we held our annual soccer marathon which was followed by our end of season awards. A big crowd came through our new gates and enjoyed a lovely sunny afternoon with plenty of fun had among coaches and players in all games and cross bar challenges. We finished with our player of the year awards for season 2022 /2023. A big thanks to everyone that helped set up for the day, Wild Willow Coffee Trailer for pitching up for the day and our two chefs Adam Cunningham and Mark Quinn for running the BBQ. Thanks must go to Mondo’s Takeaway for sponsoring our crossbar challenge prizes. Final thanks goes to everyone that sponsored our Soccer Marathon, it was very much appreciated.
A birds eye view
We had an eye in the sky during the week to showcase some of the work done in the last 12 months at a cost of just under €160,000.
None of this would have been possible without the support of everyone in our 300 club and everyone supporting our 50 50 draw. Thank you for your continued support.
Ladies League: Mooncoin Celtic 0 – 3 Villa
Our young ladies side entertained Villa in sunny conditions and an even first half saw chances for both sides with both goalkeepers equal to anything thrown at them, nil all at half time.
The second half saw an early goal for Villa and a second was added after a scramble from a corner. Try as we might we couldn’t breach the Villa back line.
Villa killed the game off with a breakaway goal and deservedly took the three points. A few new positions tried out for a few of the girls and we’ll take the positives in to next week away to Park Rangers.

Ladies League: Tramore 4 – 1 Mooncoin Celtic
A very disappointing result with the game done after 25 minutes with Tramore 3 up. A little shake up saw an improved work rate and Becky Connaughton put away a free kick on 40 minutes.
Second half saw an improvement but Tramore notched their 4th goal on 50 minutes. A few half chances came our way but no end product. Caoimhe Power and Grace O Toole were the pick of the bunch tonight.
A very talented young group who know they should be getting better results, it will come in time.
Soccer Marathon Postponed
Due to unforeseen circumstances (and probably the weather), the Soccer Marathon scheduled for Sunday is CANCELLED and will be rescheduled shortly.
New pitch infrastructure
Work commenced this week on spectator fencing around the main pitch with Watmór Construction on site, the break in weather during the week cost us a couple of days and works will not finish until early next week.
Ladies League: Mooncoin Celtic 1 – 7 Dungarvan United
We hosted Munster Junior Cup finalists on Wednesday evening and we’re left with a mountain to climb early on when two very obvious offside calls were ignored.
Dungarvan showed their class throughout the first half and scored two very good goals. Second saw our girls playing for pride and they created many chances throughout with the post and crossbar preventing a couple of goals before Becky Connaughton hung up a good free kick.
A couple of late goals were put away by Dungarvan before time was called.
The very best of luck to Dungarvan United in this Sunday’s Munster Junior Cup Final against Wilton United of Cork.
We’d also like to wish Breska Rovers the best of luck in the Munster Shield Final on Sunday, Breska Rovers beat us in a close encounter in the last 16 in a very close game in Suir Crescent.
