A tight game with very little between the teams required a second half penalty from Dionos to send them through to the quarter finals. Tom M continued his hot streak with a screamer in the first half.

U13A Result

De la Salle 1
Billy opened the scoring with a first half strike and chances came and went before De la Salle equalised. The lads had a late goal disallowed for offside which could have yielded the three points. Improved performance from all the squad.

1B League Result
Mooncoin Celtic 0
Southend 0
League leaders came to Suir Crescent on Sunday morning hoping to extend their winning run but met a stubborn home side. Plenty chances for each team but two solid defences and goalkeepers couldn’t be breached.

U16A Girls Result
Mooncoin Celtic 1
Piltown 4
Title chasing Piltown were the visitors on a sunny afternoon and the girls set their stall out early to contain the dangerous piltown attack. Losing Sophie early on to a broken collar bone did not help things but a penalty was tucked away by Lexi to send us one up. Gaynor cup keeper Hannah then saved a penalty and it looked like the girls would get to half time with the lead but two scrappy goals just before half time undone the hard work. An early goal in the second half killed off the game but the girls persevered and put it up to piltown in a physical battle throughout. A sloppy fourth saw piltown take the three points. Much improved by all the girls on duty.

3B League Result
Mooncoin Celtic 3
Piltown 4
A mad game littered with errors saw piltown take the derby honours. Goals on the night from DT McGrath with a double and James Blackmore weren’t enough unfortunately.

U18 Girls League Result
Carrick United 2
Mooncoin Celtic 1
A winner deep deep in to injury time for Carrick United saw them crowned league champions. The girls gave it their all back and took an early lead through Katelyn Moore but Carrick equalised with a tidy finish on the half hour. Emily was unlucky with an effort with ten minutes remaining before that late finish secured the title for Carrick. Congratulations to Carrick on the league win.

We held our weekly Eastgate Engineering sponsored Dixie Dribblers Academy session in fine weather and also hosted Piltown in u9 games. Congratulations to player of the week winners TJ, Oisin, Jack, Aria and Gianni 🏆⚽️.

GREAT NEWS

We are delighted to share the news that we have been allocated €192,263 under the Sports Capital Grant Scheme. This will be used to develop an astro turf training area and will further enhance our facilities in Suir Crescent. A big thank you has to go to all involved in recent years who have worked tirelessly behind the scenes on our Finance Committee and Club Committee. Thanks also has to go to all members of our 300 Club Syndicate over the last five years, the 300 Club has been the backbone in financing all the works over the last five years. Final thanks to our political representatives who have supported our club in recent years, Councillors Pat Dunphy and Tomas Breatnach, John Paul Phelan TD.

Sports Capital Grant Application 2023

In the last week, we have submitted our application for funding towards an astro turf training area as part of the 2023 Sports Capital Programme. This will be the next stage of the development of Suir Crescent and will be crucial to enable our ever expanding club to train all year round in all weather conditions. We have applied for €200,000 and will be looking for the support of all local councillors and TDs in our quest for funding. To date over €520,000 has been invested in Suir Crescent, which is down to the people of Mooncoin supporting the development and successful grant applications in recent years. Fingers crossed, we will be starting the next phase of our impressive grounds soon enough.

New dugouts in place

At last we have had a dry spell of weather to get our dugouts dropped in place. Massive thank you to Peter Brennan of Ashgrove Transport for moving the dugouts today👏, thanks to Watmór for providing the base layer for housing the dugouts, thanks to Eric Walsh for holding the spirit level too and finally a massive thank you to the company who sponsored these dugouts, again……An incredible gesture 👏.

A birds eye view

We had an eye in the sky during the week to showcase some of the work done in the last 12 months at a cost of just under €160,000.

None of this would have been possible without the support of everyone in our 300 club and everyone supporting our 50 50 draw. Thank you for your continued support.

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.

Wild Willow Coffee Trailer will be on site as well as a BBQ overseen by our two club chefs.


We would like to thank all of the people to date who have contributed sponsorship via the link and urge all to share the link with friends and family that might support our club.


Looking forward to seeing you all next Sunday.
