U13 Result: Kilmacthomas 1 Mooncoin Celtic 3

Posted on by

A great start today by our team in windy, cold conditions in Kilmac, after a solid start we took the lead through our Captain fantastic Emily Blackmore when she smartly lobbed the Kilmac goalkeeper, we then settled and with great teamwork passing we earned a penalty when Josh was fouled, he then calmly tucked the spot kick away. After the break Kilmac came at us and had us under pressure. Our third was a thing of football beauty when we caught Kilmac on the break and with an unreal two touch passing move up the field, fell to who other than the deadly Josh McLoughlin, there was only one outcome. Kilmac in fairness never let up and got a deserved goal. Great start and a credit to all the team. Man of the Match in this one was Daniel Ponce De Leon.

Derek’s side faced a strong Park Rangers team in their first league outing and found the going tough with three first team starters unavailable due to injury and sickness not helping matters but the lads and lady on duty performed well throughout with excellent defending by Ciara O’Keeffe and Eoin McGrath doing very well at the heart of defence.

U14 Result: Piltown B 2
Mooncoin Celtic 3

Posted on by

First game of the season saw us travel to near neighbours Piltown. We got off to worst possible start as we conceded after a few minutes. Within 15 minutes Piltown were down to 10 men after a foul on Finbarr Purcell. The lads & lassie dug in and we equalised after a fantastic run by Robbie Doherty who squared the ball to Jamie Croke to level. Not having a competitive game since March definitely led to us conceding almost straight away as a long ball caused us problems. Ht 2-1 down.
Second half saw us take the game by the scruff of the neck with Aidan Carroll and Robbie Doherty running the show from the middle of the park. Another fantastic run to the by line by Robbie Doherty led to a carbon copy of our first goal as Jamie Croke blasted home. Level with 10 mins left and up stepped Aidan Carroll who let fly from 25 yards out to score the winner.
A good run out that helped shake off the cobwebs. Dungarvan await in 2 weeks.
Man of the match : Robbie Doherty

U12B: Mooncoin Celtic 0 Park Rangers 3

Posted on by

A glorious morning for the kick off of the Schoolboys league 2020 and there was a feast of football on display in Ashgrove as the newest U12b squad got there campaign underway against a strong Park Rangers A team.

Both teams put the pressure on early and it was Park Rangers that made the first break through mid 1st half.

With a change of sides there was renewed energy as Mooncoin got a couple of shots off. However Park Rangers piled the pressure on with a second goal and then not long later there was an unfortunate own goal scored.

Mooncoin didn’t settle with this scoreline and really got stuck in to grab back a score but chance after chance just didn’t go in, just one goal would have been deserved but alias it was not to be.

Next up is a local derby with Piltown.

U16c: Mooncoin Celtic 10 vs Park Rangers 1

Big result today and the scoreline doesn’t do justice to a well organised performance from Park Rangers. We were very strong in attack all day and we started off the scoring early with a great opener from Lee Freyne. Lee’s second goal was a peach. Back playing in the number 10 role where he is most dangerous. Third goal came from a well taken corner by Lee which was converted with a very good header by Tom Conway. Park Rangers still having a chance at this stage put a lovely passing move together which was finished brilliantly to make it 3-1. Adam Conway took us to half time with a great finish to make it 4-1. Sean Lennon stepped up a few gears and scored a great goal from 20 yards to the top corner. Sean added a second in the second half. He was carving through the defence at this stage.. Sam Hartwell was taken down for a penalty and Lee Freyne made no mistakes. Adam Conway was driving on the right hand side and winning everything and scored another great goal. Next up was a great finish from 25 yards from Stephen Foran. Sam never gave up to get in on the act and he got the final goal superbly. This was all driven by a great team performance. Ciara O’Keeffe and Denis Kinsella at full back were really on form. Conor Dermody held the backline together. Matthew Morahan came in just after half time and made some lovely passes to start the set up of two of the goals. Daniel Roberts who was also introduced covered a major amount of ground today and drove us forward. Jonah O’Toole was very effective in goal. A really impressive man of the match performance from Dylan Conway was a joy to watch he cleaned up in midfield and commanded it for the whole game allowing the team to drive forward. Well done everyone great start.
