U12B League: Bohemians 0 – 1 Mooncoin Celtic

Posted on by

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.

U13 C league: Mooncoin 8 Ballinroad 2

Posted on by

After a 9 month absence league football returned for our 13’s. Such a long gap between games but we continued where we left off by scoring a super team goal with great passing involved with captain fantastic Emily on hand to notch our first goal back. A ding ding for 15 mins with the score at 3-2 but we settled into our passing game which allowed our new strike duo to cause havoc Emily went onto score a double hat-rick and Sean adding 2.
Despite the scoreline we were made work really hard for our win by our brave visitors a super squad performance all round. Man of the match Emmet Cusack in he’s first full game of football covered every blade of grass and won endless amounts of ball to allow us play the way we want. Great start back next up bohs.

4th division result: Mooncoin Celtic 0 Ferrybank 0

Posted on by

Stalemate in Ashgrove this morning between 2 evenly matched teams.

It took a few minutes to settle in today and it was Ferrybank who had a good chance after 10 minutes but Barry Hearne stopped with his legs. We eventually got the ball down and eventually got a hold on the game. Some of the passing and final ball in to attack was delightful to watch. Neville Synott was a constant thorn in their side all day. We were possibly denied a penalty when Brendan Bradleys shot was stopped by a defenders arms in the 6 yard box. Daragh Beagan was inches away from scoring from a header but just missed out. Both teams hit the cross bar in the second half but overall a fair result.

Best on show Scoby, Neville and Mickey Comerford.

Two well organised teams.

Since this fixture was announced this squad have been putting in a massive effort in training and it truly payed off. We came into this game missing a couple of key players but it showed the strength this squad has with a few changes at the back the defence was strong and kept Ferrybank to very few chances in the first half.

A great save from Jake Moore seen the ball rebound out to a Ferrybank player and seen us go behind. But not the first time this season we went into the break 1-0 down but the pure determination and desire of this team seen us come running out of the blocks in the second half and we’re well on top with a goal on the horizon. Emily Blackmore came on at half time and put the Ferrybank defence under great pressure with her pace down the wing and it eventually payed off as the ball was deflected into the air and seen Aidan Carroll get his head to the ball and knock it into an empty net to make it 1-1.

We kept pressing Ferrybank while playing some lovely football the second was always on the way. The pure determination and excellent work rate from Aidan who covered every corner of the pitch seen him grab a second to put us in the lead. With Michael Cronin, Patrick Dermody and David O’Shea holding strong at the back there was still very few chances for the home side and we eventually found ourselves in the promising position of being 3-1 up. The ever present and captain for the day Eoin O’Callaghan added to his goal tally for the season and seen him make it 3 goals in 3 games in what was a superb performance from him on the wing.

Ferrybank made it 3-2 late on and put us under a lot of pressure but a few changes to our formation to strengthen up the back seen us hold out and take all 3 points. Great credit to all kids involved yesterday what a superb bunch of kids coach. Team ; Moore, Cronin, O’Shea, Dermody, O’Callaghan (C), Carroll, Croke, Dunphy, Wall. (Subs) Cuddihy, Blackmore, O’Keefe, Byrne, Herron. Scorer : Carroll (2), O’Callaghan.
