U13 C league: Mooncoin 3 seaview 0

We hosted title chasing Seaview in our new ground in Suir Crescent tonight, a great occasion for the gang. Seaview came into this one bang in form but came up against our first full squad since the start of the season. The visitors were unlucky not to go ahead when a thunder bolt of a strike came off the underside of the crossbar, that spurred the team on to play some excellent football and we went 1-0 up with a super finish from Emily after a brilliant passing move and that’s the way it stayed till half time. The introduction of some strong subs at half time again produced some excellent football to tee up Emily to hit her 10th goal of the season with a sublime finish. Our 3rd goal came from a player we’ve missed since day one, josh scored an amazing solo goal on he’s return from injury overall a super performance from the entire squad but our star of the match tonight was Michaél el”spinazoola”murphy who had an amazing game at fullback in a very solid defence.

U12B League: Bohemians 0 – 1 Mooncoin Celtic

A great end to the 2020-21 with 2 good teams duking it out in the RSC with Ethan Owens grabbing the all important goal to seperate the teams.

Mooncoin Celtic sported their brand new kit and with the new shirts came refreshed confidence as the team played ball stride for stride with a good Bohemians squad.

While the tie was tight Mooncoin hit the post twice, skyed a penalty and only for 2 really great saves from the Bohs keeper the score line could have been different.

It was a great way to finish off the season, and we here at MCFC central are all sure the summer break and good pre-season will see this team shake up the u13 league next year.

WSFL Under 16c League: Mooncoin Celtic 1 vs Piltown 3

Disappointing end to a great run. Today’s game was a fierce contest and Piltown had enough in the tank to see it over the line.. our goal coming today from Adam Conway. Most importantly we need to take as many positives from this and build on it and roll into the Under 17 season with heads held high. A great turn out to support these two teams. A great squad in numbers the whole season and the hard work was put in on the training pitch all year. Jonah O’Toole, Alex Bailey, Ciara O’Keeffe, Tom Conway, Conor Dermody, Denis Kinsella, Sean Lennon, Liam Hogan, Adam Conway, Stephen Foran, Sam Hartwell, Lee Freyne, Cian O’Sullivan, Matthew Morahan and Daniel Roberts made up today’s squad.. Keep the heads up… We will bounce back and go again.

U13 C league: Tramore 1 Mooncoin 1

Our 13s travelled to tramore for their 4th away game in 5 league matches. We knew this would be another hard fought encounter as there is little or nothing between the majority of the teams in this division. We got off to a flyer when Emily pounced to score her 8th goal in 5 games a goal all of her own making. A fiercely contested midfield battle ensued which tramore came out on top for a period and they deservedly equalised before the break. We made a better effort in the 2nd period when the introduction of darragh sparked us into life and some loving passing led to Emily just shooting wide tramore had a chance to go ahead but Jack hearne pulled off an unbelievable save which Dixie said reminded him of Gordon Banks famous save, but nobody knew who he was taking about cause none of us are of that vintage. Our star of the match was Eoghan dermody who was magnificent in defence and has come on leaps and bounds in the last 12 months. Next up seaview celtic.

Euro’s Prediction Competition Update

So the Euro’s are at the Semi-Final stage and we have a very interesting scenario emerging from the MCFC Euro Prediction competition.

While no one named all four semi-finalist, there is 1 person that named 3 of them and they have a nice lead in the competition. However that same person cannot get much from “Predict the total goals” nor “Name the top goalscorer” and so the 4 people chasing are in with a big shout to take home the prize money, which stands at over €350.

The majority of chasers are not really looking for more goals, but if Harry Kane was to score 2 more, or Ciro Immobile was to score 3 then it would make the final prediction table a really close run competition.

Best of luck to all participants, and enjoy the matches all the way to the final.
