€58,000+ Sports Capital Grant secured by Mooncoin Celtic

The Minister for Sport Catherine Martin and Minister of State for Sport Jack Chambers today announced details of the largest sports capital grant in the history of the State. Mooncoin Celtic secured €58,806 towards pitch development & equipment for its new pitches in Suir Crescent.

This will enable to club to install led floodlights at Suir Crescent thereby enabling all of its squads to train there over the winter months. It will also provide for dugouts and additional storage facilities, which are very much needed.

The ongoing development of Suir Crescent has been made possible by grants such as this and the support of all of our investors in the 300 Club. A huge thank you goes to everyone who played a part, big or small, in this funding application and in all our other fundraising initiatives.

The future for Mooncoin Celtic is very bright thanks to our players, parents, club officers, committee members and everyone who supports the club in any way. Great progress is being made on and off the pitch.

Best of luck Mooncoin to All Ireland glory

All involved with Mooncoin Celtic wish the very best of luck to Mooncoin Junior Hurlers tomorrow in their quest for glory in the All Ireland Junior Hurling Championship Final in Croke Park.

Our own 1B players Ethan Ryan, Ryan Carroll, Lee Treacy and Adam Croke along with 3rd division players Sean Walsh, Stephen Wall and Niall Madden are all members of the panel and the majority of tomorrow’s junior panel have played for the club in recent times but tomorrow its about the small ball up in Croke Park. Fingers crossed this group of men can do themselves, their families and the people of Mooncoin proud and finish off a great campaign.

There are 2 teams at u11 and both play Park Rangers.

U11b away to Park Rangers @ 10.30am

U16 Girls league: Mooncoin off to a flying start

Our u16 girls travelled to Ballyduff this morning for an 11am Kick off to kick start our league campaign .

There were Nerves a plenty this morning . But we put our heads down , concentrated and got ourselves into the game .

We had Team Work a plenty today with all players contributing to the flow of the game .

We got our heads out in front early on and seemed to settle , but Ballyduff equalised five minute later putting the game back in the melting pot .

Our girls dug deep today to take all three points and and our first win at u16

Thanks to all the parents for the encouragement and support today .
