12A Mooncoin Celtic 1 Southend 0

A very poor performance in first half found us lucky to be going in 0-0 at half time thanks to our keeper with some brilliant saves to keep us in it. A few switches and a good chat at half time woke us up. We stared to play some good football and we were awarded a penalty 10 minutes into second half but unfortunately couldn’t convert. We brushed ourselves off starting to get control off game again and in the last 2 minutes off game up steps Kieran with a free kick just outside the box and puts it into bottom right off the net to give us a hard fought win and 2 wins from 2 games good start to the season. Thanks to all the parents for dropping young lads down to game

A hard fought effort with only the bare 9 men on board this morning. Despite 5 goals conceded it was still a solid defensive performance from our lads, with some great tackles throughout the game. A few subs and it might’ve been a different outcome .

After a midweek draw with Portlaw , a team 2 divisions below the lads I was expecting a long afternoon but the boys surprised us all including De La Salle and did themselves proud against a very talented side .

We conceded 2 late goals but the scoreline did not reflect the effort from the boys

U18A League Girls Mooncoin Celtic 1 Piltown 0

Sunday afternoon our u18a girls took on Piltown at home. We started strong and kept a high standard of football throughout the game. A frustrating game for our forwards due to an excellent performance from a very good Piltown goalkeeper. But our girls determination and battle right to the very last kick of the ball saw our right back Briona Vereker break from defence running the length of the pitch to get on the end of a lovely through ball from Anna Ready , driving into the box and smashing in the winning goal in the dying seconds of the match. An excellent team performance and deserved win.

After a little slip up to give DLS the lead in the first 5 minutes, the lads put the foot on the gas and were 4-1 up by half time and comfortably held on to the lead for the second half.

U13A Result Mooncoin 3 Tramore 1

Another excellent performance from our lads, with our temporary home proving again to be a happy hunting ground for the boys and a 3-1 scoreline very flattering to Tramore. On another day we could have hit double figures.Surprisingly enough for a 10.30 kick off we were out of the blocks quickly with Tadgh Mackey scoring with a glorious lobbed finish from the right hand side of the area after 4 minutes. That set the tone for much of the remainder of the game as the work rate on show all over the pitch was incredible we have to single out Aaron Walsh for special mention.We missed some good chance during the rest of the half before Tom Dunphy doubled our lead shortly before the break.The second half continued in much the same vain as we passed up numerous chances as our front 4 tormented the Tramore rearguard with Tadgh Mackey at the centre of most of the torture.With time ticking down we gave ourselves something to think about as Tramore got on the scoresheet with a rare foray into our half, but Oisin O’Hanlon put the game to bed a minute into stoppage time with a penalty that was dispatched into the top left hand corner of the net.

Our u18s first run out to defend our league title away to Bohs got off to a great start when Alexi Walsh slotted home early in the first half. A break of play shortly after allowed Bohs to equalise. Despite a number of chances and pressure on the bohs goal we went into the break 1-1. The girls however stepped it up another gear in the second half and the pressure proved too much for the bohs defence. 2 goals from Sophie Phelan and another from Alexi with a superb finish sealed the win. An excellent team performance and start to the new season.

U14B Tramore 0 Mooncoin 5

We played the first half against a strong breeze. The girls defended brilliantly and had some chances but just didn’t convert. 0-0 at halftime. We decided to move Maria Dunphy up front to use her pace and it paid dividends in first 10 minutes of 2nd half. She set up eabha for the first and then scored a brilliant goal herself to make it 2-0. We were on top all over the field and Maria combined again with Sarah who finished like a top striker does. The fourth goal was worth the wait as Maeve struck from outside the box and the ball nestled in the top corner. And last but not least Gwyn stepped forward for a free kick and riffled it to the net from 22 yards out. 5-0 it finished great team performance

U13 Boys B League Result

Mooncoin Celtic 2 Villa 1

A great start was made to the U13B league today in Grannagh, as we came out on top by the odd goal in 3 against a well organized Villa team, when our boys stepped out onto the full size pitch for the first time as a team together.

There was no signs in the early stages of the very short preseason we’ve had together and we were unfortunate to find ourselves a goal behind halfway through the 1st half through a well struck free kick.
We rolled up the sleeves and drew ourselves level minutes later when Edmond Murphy was up ended inside the villa penalty area, our no.9 dusted himself off to convert from 12 yards and get himself off the mark for the  season.
So level at halftime, an evenly fought contest was decided by another set piece when we were awarded a free kick 10 minutes into the 2nd half. Up stepped Oisin O’Hanlon, our tenacious left back, to crash a strike off the underside of the crossbar and into the net.
The boys can be very proud of the performance throughout but in particular the final 20 minutes after going ahead, when they showed great resilience to keep out everything the villa could throw at them lead by captain TJ Curran.

Michael soon put in Huey O Hanlon Blanc for his first of 2 great goals. Leading 3-0 at the break 6 changes were made and we started to struggle with Dungarvan pulling it back to 3-2 before Ciro Kibinski got his first of the season with a great finish. Dungarvan scored soon after making for a tense finish at 4-3 before Ciro bagged his second in the last few minutes to seal the win for the boys. Epic scenes !
