U12 Girls SFAI Cup:
Mooncoin Celtic 3 – 3 Gorey Rangers.

Posted on by

AET, Gorey Rangers won 2-1 on penalties.


An absolute belter of a cup tie between two evenly matched teams and the large crowd present were enthralled throughout the 80 minutes.
Gorey went ahead after 10 minutes with a long range effort which evaded Hannah Dobbyn on goal.

The girls were quick to bounce back and a pass from Courtenay O’Shea Power saw Molly Walsh steer home the equaliser. 1 all at half time but the girls flew out of the traps and took a deserved lead again through Molly Walsh after a long kick out from Hannah Dobbyn.

Gorey responded with 10 left on the clock to make it 2-2 before we broke away and Áine O’Sullivan scored to have us in the driving seat. With the clock just tipping 60 minutes Gorey Rangers broke clear to get a last gasp equaliser.

Extra time saw each side have a few chances but no more goals followed. On on to the dreaded penalty shoot out where 18 penalties were taken with some great saves by each keeper but Gorey came out on top 2-1 on penalties.


Heartbreaking stuff and plenty tears afterwards but a very good performance by everyone involved.


Big thanks to Ashling Dobbyn for overseeing refreshments before, during and after the game and also thank you to all parents for supplying baked goods.

Best of luck to Gorey Rangers in the next round and safe trip home.

Weekend Review

Posted on by

Last weekend saw a very busy one with 10 teams involved but unfortunately only two victories recorded.

U12A
Mooncoin Celtic 0
Villa 2
This squad will be wondering what they have to do to win as they dominated for long periods without getting the all important goals.

U12B
Mooncoin Celtic 1
Stradbally 4
This new group showed lots of improvement and will be happy with valuable game time and experience gained. Noel Doyle got on the scoresheet in this one.

U14A
Kilmacow 2
Mooncoin Celtic 0
A tight first half saw it end scoreless and it was always going to be that way. Kilmacow got the breakthrough just after half time and sealed the game late on.

U14B
Mooncoin Celtic 3
Bohs 1
Goals from Jake Clarke, Eloi and Aoibhe Rees saw this squad secure three points and continue their good start.

U16
Ferrybank 6
Mooncoin 0
A tough morning against very good opposition, a few defensive lapses proved costly but this group will continue to work hard and results will follow.

3rd Division
Kilbarry 3
Mooncoin Celtic 0
A quick start by Kilbarry saw them 2 up in 20 minutes and bar a couple of half chances for ourselves, Kilbarry dominated throughout and sealed the three points with a late third goal.

U10 Girls
Our u10 girls had their first outing of the season against Villa and will be happy enough with plenty of goals scored and more importantly game time experienced.

U14A Girls SFAI Cup
Mooncoin Celtic 0
Burrin Celtic 5
A very impressive Burrin Celtic came to visit on Sunday afternoon and progressed to the next round but our girls stuck at it throughout the game in horrendous conditions.

U14B Girls
Cappoquin 8
Mooncoin Celtic 2
An interesting one this game was. A deserved win for Cappoquin with the girls having an off day, goals from Sophie Phelan and an og put a gloss on the scoreline.

U17 Girls
Mooncoin Celtic 4
Villa 1
Two wins from two but they were made to work hard for this one against a tough villa side. Goals from Emily Blackmore 2, Ella Brennan and Sommer Grant saw three points secured.

U17 Girls: Mooncoin 4 – 1 Villa FC

Mooncoin welcomed Villa to Breezy Suir Crescent this morning for an 11am Kick Off .

Today was a game of two halves , with both teams going toe to toe for the first half , with very little to seperate them .

After some discussion at half time , and a few words amongst themselves, the girls took to the pitch with determination .

The break came for us 10 mins in when Emily Blackmore took a shot on goal , the villa keeper got to it, but the ball still found its way over the goal line .

Villa had a speedy response and within a couple of minutes had equalised .

This pushed the girls on again , and on the 15 minute mark , Emily Blackmore found herself again in a scoring position , and finished to the net making it two one .

The introduction of Ella Brennan a little earlier really changed the dynamic of the game , as her speed on the wing was proving pivotal for the Home side . Ella was rewarded by finding the net herself on the half way mark .


Our defence was tested on a number of occasions , with Ciara o keeffe making two clearances off the goal line after Alanah Tobin diverted a ball from front of goal . Ellie Corcoran was solid in the middle of the field and a lot of ball was moved through Ellie during todays game .

Luiseach O Donohue was her usual dependable self today and played her part in setting up of the Fourth goal . Passing a ball up the line to Sommer Grant who made no mistake and blasted for back of the net , the villa keeper did well again to deter the effort , but the ball still ended up in the back of the net .

Sommer had seen a long range shot come off the woodwork minutes before .


A well earned win today and three points on the Board .
