Latest newsletter from MCFC 7th March 2022
MCFC-Newsletter-7Mar22Mooncoin pushed Bohs hard from the very start and were very unlucky with quite a few clear cut chances early in the first half. Bohs scored first though with an excellent strike, albeit against the run of play.
Mooncoin continued to push hard and drew things level with a goal from Ella Brennan.
The second half was a continuation of the first with Mooncoin continuing to pressure Bohs throughout the pitch. When Bohs did attack, the Mooncoin defense held firm, with Mollie Murphy in particularly fine form.
Emily Cooney was unlucky not to score with an outstanding strike from distance and it was beginning to look like it was not going to be their day. However, Aoibhe Rees, normally the goalscorer, turned provider with fantastic assists to Emily Cooney and Ella Brennan to put the result beyond doubt.
It was very much a team performance by Mooncoin against a very resourceful Bohs team.
Today’s fixture was a home game againsts Macroom FC’s U17s Premier team in the Munster Cup Competition .
The game started out an even enough affair and both teams tested the other in almost every position on the pitch .
As the game progressed Macroom grew into the game and when the chances arose they grabbed them with both hands and slotted to the net.
Overall it was a very sporting and well contested game . Enjoyed by all .
A great spread of soup and sandwiches and plenty of chatting between both sides afterwards , made for a very enjoyable afternoon .

Thank you all for the continued support.
We were the better side for the first 15 mins of this game but im afraid we were out on our feet after that short period of time.
We had a couple of chances to score Emily, Emmett and Sean going close but other than those chances and the first 15 mins we were 2nd best and villa deserved to win their 6th game on the trot.
Man of the match today was Finbarr Purcell who was absolutely brilliant all game with Emmett cusack a close 2nd putting in great shift in the second half.
There was plenty of football and fun with the Academy girls in Piltown.
An action packed evening in Suir Crescent with Mooncoin Celtic academy taking on Piltown in a mini blitz.
Plenty of goals, plenty of tackles and plenty of fun was had. Big thanks to all parents for supporting the boys and also thanks to Richie Connolly and his charges for coming down and we look forward to the return games up in Piltown.
12 weeks after our last competitive match we faced a tough Stradbally team in sunny Suir Crescent. Naturally the lads were a little rusty but went in at half time nil nil.
Change of formation with Bradley helping Ethan in the second half resulted in a goal after ten mins.
A good one two from a throw to Cathal led to a great cross from Sam and Ethan finished with a deadly volley in the six yard box. Stradbally came back strong and a number of excellent saves from Will kept us ahead.
Stradbally finally got their equaliser from a low shot in the box. Last 15 minutes were end to end and the draw was a fair result.
Well done lads, great to be back playing football again.
