A very tight contest in Ferrybank this morning saw a solid performance and more importantly three points secured.

Very little between both sides throughout with Ryan Sutton notching the all important goal and a sound defensive display saw another clean sheet too.

Big well done to our recent academy players of the week, Clodagh B, Willow B K, Jamie R, Aidan O’K and Edmund M.

Well done to all players and coaches from the club who were involved with the Waterford league at U12, U14 and u16 level last weekend.

Hannah Dobbyn was on u12 duty, we Molly Murphy, Stephanie Phelan and Áine Connery as well as coaches Dee Travers and Richard Long at u14s.

While Emily Blackmore, Aoibhe Rees and Ella Brennan were with the U16s.

We have to give a special mention to the hat trick hero Emily Blackmore who notched a treble for the U16s.

James was captain for today’s game as the boys turned out in red against a resolute St Joseph’s side.

Mooncoin dominated play from the early stages but couldn’t find the finishing touch in the whole of the first half with Rueben and Liam unlucky to have their efforts blocked or saved.

The deadlock was broken by Shane however whose strike high into the goal almost burst the net early in the second half. A second followed soon after with Shane flying down the wing once more and playing the ball to Eoin who squared it for Tadhg to slot home.

He got his second soon after cutting in from the right and finishing smartly past the keeper. The final goal saw Shane played in by Eoin and score only to be ruled out initially.

However on reflection the referee deemed him to be onside so the goal stood. A great day out for the boys and back to winning ways. Two for Shane, two for Tadhg and a hat trick of assists for Eoin. 4-0 to Mooncoin.

A cracker of a game in sunny Suir Crescent this morning with the game flowing from end to end.

Dungarvan were quickest out of the traps and grabbed an early lead and held it until just before half time when Pete Dunphy scored a cracking free kick.

The second half saw Teddy Dunphy continue his goal scoring run when he slotted home but back came Dungarvan and they equalised with a few minutes remaining. Great entertainment from both sides.

Mooncoin Celtic u13s welcomed Piltown to Suir Crescent this afternoon and it was always going to be a competitive battle.

With three minutes on the clock a corner from Piltown produced a great save from Will but the rebound was scrambled home. The lads heads didn’t drop and after a few minutes a brave 50/50 by Tommy with the Piltown keeper led to Tommy getting his deserved goal.

The match was hard fought with Mooncoin defending plenty of good Piltown corners and a goal line clearance by Naoise saved a bizarre chance. Just before half time a foul on the left wing led to a superb free kick by Sam which was too high for the keeper to keep out and Mooncoin went into the break 2-1 up.

The game opened up in the second half and following a disallowed offside goal, Fionn struck again to ease the nerves.

A few good saves from Bradley in the last ten minutes saw the game out with all of the squad playing their part today.

Our younger U12 squad faced a Bohs side in sunny Suir Crescent and a bigger bohs side bossed the game from start to finish but our younger girls from our u10 squad will have gained valuable experience during the hour.

Viktor was captain for the visit of Hibernian to Suir Crescent over the weekend. We were on the back foot within a minute of kick off with the visitors scoring with an unstoppable header from a corner.

They scored two more goals before the break, both following goal mouth scrambles.

The second half was a far more even contest albeit with no goals to show for it. Special mention for Dylan on the goal for a superb double save late on. The game finished 3-0 to the away team.

The first fine day in months brought out the best in both Mooncoin and Kilmacow teams, as they played out a thriller of a derby, with Mooncoin taking the win 1 nil.

The first half was tight, with Kilmacow starting the better, but Mooncoin grew into the game and had a couple of shots just head wide. Eoin T was super in this 1st half.

0-0 at half time but 30 secs into the 2nd half and Conor W. had a fine shot that was well saved by the keeper. Soon after Conor had another shot that just whisked wide.

At the back Mooncoin were very solid with birthday boy Will W cleaning up everything behind a brilliant defence.

Mooncoin were on top and a sharp tackle then pass by Sam, saw Charlie M. pick up the ball just outside the D, and a quick swivel and hard high shot saw the ball hit the back of the net. A great goal to get Mooncoin ahead, and from here the team dug in.

To be expected Kilmacow came on strong, but this left room for breaks and Sean, Will Mc and Robbie exploited it, with Robbie going very close to grabbing a second.

The last few minutes saw everyone in defence and as the final whistle went there was great joy in celebrating a first win of the year.
