Our third away game in a row saw us visit Portlaw. We started against the hill and a strong breeze and it took us a while to find our rythm. From the 15 min mark we took control with Marti in particular causing their defence problems.
A wonder strike from Marti set us on our way. A good finish from Jamie put us 2 nill up at the break. The second half continued in the same pattern with our midfield of Canice ,Oisin and Liam providing a soild base for Anil, Marti,Jamie, Dani and Jimmy to run at Portlaw.
The defence of Alex,Jack, Finbar,Mattie, Conor and Luke combined with Cathal in between the posts gave their attack very little sight of goal. A left footed strike from Jamie put us in total control and another strike from Dani put gloss on the scoreline .
A great effort from a young but talented Portlaw team but we were just too strong on the night.
Kilmacow away in the cup 1/4 final awaits next Thursday.
Goals Jamie x 2, Marti & Dani

Wednesday evening, at home in Suir Crescent. Mooncoin Celtic took to the Pitch against visitors Park Rangers . A must win game for both teams in order to stay in the running for this very competitive u16 League .
Both teams began attacking very from the start , and Mooncoin hit the woodwork inside a few minutes before Park Rangers took an early lead ….. But our Mooncoin girls sprung into action and equalised soon after . We had some great passages of play which saw us gain the upper hand and at the half time break the home side led 3-1 .
The second half saw Mooncoin play with a renewed belief , and from a Mooncoin point of view, we played some of the best football we have done to date .
The girls played together for each other .
Taking and punishing what chances came their way .
The end score line doesn’t reflect the massive Park Rangers effort this evening . Who along with ourselves gave it everything from first whistle till last .

An away game to Bohs followed last weeks reversal at the hands of Kilmacow.
The first half was an even affair with us slightly edeging it but we missed a few clear cut chances, we went in nil nil at the break.
The second half was a different affair as we took control from the off. A strike from Jamie saw us take the lead followed by a brace from Marti .
We conceded a soft penalty to lead 3.1 going into the final 15 mins. Dani put the game to bed after an Anil pass. A fantastic team performance from the 11 that played.
The defence was well marshalled by Jack and Liam in the center and flanked by Conor and Luke.
Cathal stood tall in nets and controlled from the back. The midfield of Canice and Oisin never gave Bohs a chance to settle and fed Anil ,Marti, Jamie and Dani.
Goals : Marti x 2, Jamie & Dani.
Mom : Canice & Oisin ( impossible to seperate them)

Saturday morning we travelled to Tramore and were lucky enough to get to play on the main pitch in glorious sunshine.
We started well going 1-0 up with Emily Blackmore finishing from a lovely ball over the top (Emily loves scoring out in Tramore).
The lead was short lived after a dubious penalty was given against us for hand ball. We got on top again after this setback to get in the lead when this time Anil got behind the defence and finished brilliantly to make it 2-1.
Bizarrely after two defensive mistakes at halftime it was 3-2 to Tramore. At half time we felt we could regroup and get a result, after lots of pressure we equalised from a brilliant long range free kick from Daniel Ponce de Leon.
We kept passing and creating chances with Conor Walsh hitting the post after a lovely through ball in to the box followed by Daniel hitting the bar from a header only to lose the game in the last five minutes to another hand ball penalty desision, a cruel way to finish the game after the team giving everything.
A lot to take from the performance, MoM in this one Anil Ramaswamy who started at left Midfield then right midfield and ended in right back, gave absolutely everything he had.
