SFAI Girls U14 TROPHY;
Kilkenny United 0 – 0 Mooncoin Celtic goes to penalties

Posted on by

The wet & windy weather made for really challenging conditions for playing football yesterday. Both teams were evenly matched and fought hard from start to finish with each team only getting a few chances at their opponents goal.

Huge kudos to both teams who after normal time went out & pushed with intensity to try break the deadlock.

Unfortunately, with the score nil all at the end of extra time, it was left to the penalty shootout to decide the result. Final result 4-2 Penalty scorers Mollie Murphy, Stephanie Phelan, Aine Connery & Ellie Thompson. Two saves from Aisling Rohan.


Thanks to Kilkenny United for a great game under tough conditions.

U13b Boys: Mooncoin Celtic score a big win at home

Posted on by

A minutes applause as a mark of respect this afternoon for Vicky Phelan preempted the u13 home match vs Ballyduff.

Mooncoin started quickly and were 1 nil up with a fine finish from Canice. Shortly afterwards a misplaced pass allowed Ballyduff to get a quick shot away for a fine equaliser that gave Bradley no chance.

The game settled down until just before half time when Cathal and Charlie scored deserved goals.

Ballyduff came out strong In the second half and Bradley produced a fab save to deny a certain goal.

With ten minutes to go 3 goals from Robbie, Canice (for his 2nd) and Tommy (lucky block down from a defensive clearance) led to a final score of 6-1.

Great effort from every one of the squad today and rewarding to see some of the training work put into action in the match.

Best of luck for the rest of the season to Ballyduff.
