Heavy Heart

It is with a very heavy heart that we share the sad news of the passing of one our ladies team player’s, Kate Corcoran at the tender age of 21. A committed young lady who only started playing last year, training under the darker lights in Ashgrove ahead of our debut season in the Waterford league. There was never a session went by where Kate didn’t leave her mark, with her enthusiasm for a tackle shown on her team mates. Kate was one of the original girls who has stuck at it through good days and bad days, playing a key role in the establishment of our Ladies team alongside her little sister Ciara and stepmum Sarah, and starring in their first win up in Cahir in the lashing rain. Kate loved the rain, be it in training or matches as her team mates recalled this evening. As a ladies team and club, we are devastated beyond belief for the Corcoran family and will do our best in the coming days, weeks and months to help in anyway possible. Thank you must go to the following clubs Bohemians, Waterford Crystal, Tramore and Dungarvan United and all match officials for their understanding on Sunday morning when the news broke.
Rest in Peace Kate, a beautiful young woman taken far too soon.

First trip to Ballinroad for these lads in the u14B league this morning. Ballinroad were sharper today especially their centre forward who scored a peach of a goal in the second half to make it 4-1 and complete his hat trick. Sweet goal from the edge of the box for Naoise in his first foray in midfield. Conor was unlucky not to win a penalty in the first half. Final result was 4-1 to the home team.

Ladies League: Dungarvan United 3 – 0 Mooncoin Celtic

Our young side took on last seasons champions and should be very disappointed after the 90 minutes.

A very soft first goal conceded on 30 minutes after we had a few openings ourselves knocked us back but back we came and put it up to a very good Dungarvan side. Another defensive lapse saw a second goal on the hour mark and we were chasing the game from here on after being well in it.

A late third after another mistake put a gloss on the scoreline. A more experienced Dungarvan took their chances where we passed up a few of our own.

Good performances from Kate McGrath, Beth Kelly and Emily Blackmore were the highlights.

U12A Girls League: Mooncoin Celtic 2 – 1 Carrick United

A scorching evening in Suir Crescent and two evenly matched teams went at it for the hour entertaining the large attendance.

Carrick were quick out of the blocks and took an early lead but birthday girl Lexi Walsh continued her hot form with an equaliser. There wasn’t much between the two teams from here on with the game swinging from end to end with Olivia Cronin and Siobhรกn O’Donnell keeping Carrick at bay.

The next goal was always going to be the winner and Taylor Mahon popped up to secure the three points in the girls final league match.

Well done girls and from that team photo with smiles all around , I think we can see they went home happy.
