A trip to high flying De La Salle on a miserable Saturday morning where the boys will feel unlucky not to come away with any points with a missed penalty from us and a soft goal given away for the De La Salle opener.
Credit most go to all players for playing in torrential conditions.

U18 Girls League Park Rangers 1 Mooncoin Celtic 5
Our 18s outfit got off to a Rocky start on Sunday morning . Going a goal down within 10 minutes . However, the girls settled soon after and played some great football. We went in at half time 1-4 up after goals from Emily Blackmore x 2 Ella Brennan & Hannah Carroll. Ella added a second to her tally midway through the second half.
The introduction of fresh legs in the second half rejuvenated the team, and we finished out the game strongly .
U15C League Result Villa 3 Mooncoin Celtic 3
A much improved performance by this group and it could have been a win but for a missed penalty but villa might have nicked it too but for a brilliant goal line clearance by Logan. Goals on the day from Cathal with a brace and one from Daniel secured a well deserved point.
U13C League Result Mooncoin Celtic 4 Ballyduff 0
A top performance by all on duty and the lads secured the three points through Aaron D with 2,Noel D and an Og.
U11E League Result Mooncoin Celtic 3 Bohemians 2
An end to end game from start to finish with us going 2 nill up early with Cory finishing from an excellent corner from Cormac , Cormac would double our lead soon after with a bullet penalty. Bohs pegged us back to 2-1 before Edmond set up Cormac for his 2nd with a superb finish. A late Bohs goal made for a nervy finish, but we held on for our second win in row.
Man of the match Cormac M with two goals and assist.
U11D League Result Mooncoin Celtic 2 Ballyduff 4
A bigger Ballyduff side took the honours in this one where two teams went toe to toe for the 50 minutes. Goals in the second half by Reuben O and Odhráin D were not enough as Ballyduff rattled in three second half goals.
U11A League Result Southend 3 Mooncoin Celtic 0
Breezy cold conditions made life difficult for both teams throughout but our young side set out their stall to frustrate Southend and limit their chances. A goal just before half time saw Southend go in 1 up and two late goals sealed the three points. Each game this group is improving and will get their rewards soon enough.
U11 Girls
Our U11 girls played out a cracker of a game in Suir Crescent today against Ballyduff with Ballyduff winning out in a five goal thriller. This group are progressing nicely under young coaches Kate McGrath, Aoidheann Lonergan and Sadhbh Kirwan with progress among the young girls very clear.
U12D League Result Mooncoin Celtic 7 Ferrybank 2
Mooncoin hosted ferrybank in an exciting game from start to finish. The boys were well on top before a ferrybank goal kick went over our defence for the striker to put it past goalkeeper Patrick to make it 1-0 on the 15 minute mark. We retaliated quick through oisin who smashed it in with a half volley to get his first of 3 for the day. We quickly scored another goal with oisin using good footwork and tapping it in the bottom right corner to put us 2-1 up. Ferrybank quickly scored a second when the ball again went over our defence this time from a free kick and tapped it in to the goal. We went into into the break at 2-2. The boys knew at half time they should’ve been winning at the break with a few little mistakes costing them, they were determined to put that right in the 2nd half. Within the first 2 minutes Pete crossed in the ball to oisin who hammered it home to secure his hat trick and put us up 3-2. Shortly there after shay was determined to get his first goal of the season getting very close on a couple of occasions before he glided past the ferrybank defence and smashed it in the corner off of the crossbar to get his first of the season. The ball broke from a Billy corner kick and shay was there again outside the box and got a sweet connection with the ball flying in the bottom right corner to get his 2nd of the game and to put us 5-2 up. Shay again showed some good footwork to put the ball past a couple defenders and tapped it in the bottom corner to seal his hat trick. Seanie M also got on the scoresheet for the first time this morning with a nice goal from the edge of the box going in the bottom right corner to make it 7-2. The hard work on the training ground has been starting to show for this group across the last 2 games and we hope to keep the momentum going.
