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.
Soccer Marathon Third Time Luck
Next Sunday (July 30th) at the third time of asking, we will hold our Soccer Marathon in Suir Cresent from 2-5.30 followed by the presentation of our end of season awards.

Looking forward to seeing you all next Sunday.
Ladies League: Mooncoin Celtic 0 – 8 Benfica
A tough evening at the office for this young group who held tight for 30 minutes but succumbed to a number of tidy finishes from Benfica before the break.
Second half saw a bit of an improvement for us but sloppy defending and good finishing saw the game out with a landslide victory for the league leaders.
Ladies League: Mooncoin Celtic 1 – 2 Park Rangers
A very flat disjointed display saw Park Rangers deservedly scoop all three points on offer this evening. Park Rangers took the lead on 15 minutes when a ball deceived a number of defenders and a cross/shot ended up in the back of the net.
We equalised on the half hour mark when Emily Blackmore tucked away a through ball from Sommer Grant.
Plenty chances came our way but unfortunately no goals. A soft free saw Park Rangers take the lead right on half time. Second half saw a number of chances come and go for both sides but no killer instinct.
AGM on Friday 21st July
We will be holding our AGM on Friday 21st of July in Suir Crescent at 7.30. We are always looking for new people to get involved with the club, be it in admin, coaching or helping around the ground. All are welcome to attend.
Ladies Match this Week
Our young ladies side look to build on last week’s win when they entertain Park Rangers in Suir Crescent tomorrow evening, kick off is 7pm and the girls would love as much support as possible.
No Soccer Marthaon this Saturday
Due to the weather forecast for Saturday, we have decided to cancel our Soccer Marathon and end of season awards presentation and will reschedule in due course.
Apologies for any inconvenience and we hope to see you all soon.
Ladies League: Villa 0 – 3 Mooncoin Celtic
Our young side collected all three points on offer this evening against a very young Villa side.
A decent start saw us moving the ball well and we got our reward after a quick free kick by Becky Connaughton set Sommer Grant away and she stuck away her finish well.
Caoimhe Power was causing all sorts of problems with her pace and should have had a goal herself. Villa did create a few chances themselves but Becky Derwin was sharp between the sticks and commanded her area well. Second half saw a more settled performance with a number of opportunities stuck away with Caoimhe Power getting a well deserved goal and Ciara Corcoran got rewarded for her effort with a very good finish.
We saw out the remainder of the game but had a couple of scares with our crossbar being rattled late on. On to Park Rangers at home next week and an opportunity to build momentum.
U16 Girls Cup Final: Bohemians 7 – 1 Mooncoin Celtic
An awful start by the girls had them playing catch up throughout. A very dubious penalty awarded to Bohs in the first minute after what seemed like a 50 50 challenge saw it 1 nil quickly.
A good finish by lightning quick Dungarvan girl Costin on the left wing for Bohs saw a second goal very quickly and we feared for our young side.
But they got a hold on things and Emily Blackmore controlled, turned and finished superbly to leave the Bohs keeper swiping at fresh air to make it 2-1.
Sloppy defending from a corner saw the third for Bohs before a 4th coming up to half time saw the game being put out of their reach and the second half was played at a slow pace with Bohs knocking in a few more.
A disappointing day for our young side but we had decent performances from Sadhbh Kirwan on goal and U14 defender Mollie Murphy the pick of our outfield players.
