New Last Man Standing session
Youths Result: Lismore 2 Mooncoin Celtic 5
A long Sunday morning trip, which nearly never happened after a mishap with our bus on departure, eventually saw the lads secure 3 points in a very sticky encounter with little given between two very competitive teams. A quick start saw the boys 2 up after 10 minutes and 3 up with 20 gone, and 4-1 at half time gave Lismore some hope going into the 2nd half. Goals in the first half were scored by Aaron McLoughlin, Adam Croke, Ryan O’Grady and Rudi. In the 2nd half the lads displayed real composure and were never under any real pressure. Padraic Murphy drilled one from 35 yards to make it 5-1 with 20 minutes left. Lismore did score a late penalty rebound after Nathan saved well but lismore followed up faster. A good day had by all in West Waterford. Man of the Match today was Adam Croke who eventually got his goal.
2b Result: Tramore 0
Mooncoin Celtic 2
A dominant display from start to finish under the lights in the magnificent Graun Park last night saw our young 2b side get three points against a very good Tramore side. Goals from Lee Tracey and Luke Butler capped a fantastic win.
4th Division Result: Mooncoin Celtic 2 Ballyduff 1
First three points of the season secured this morning in sunny ashgrove against Ballyduff. A dominant first half saw no goals after numerous chances. The inspired introduction of Thomas bubbles O’Brien saw the deadlock broken as havoc rained down on the Ballyduff defence and after a number of corners by Stephen Blackmore, Jonny Power scrambled the ball home. A couple of minutes later Mickey Dowley released Andrew Norris to slot home number 2 and put the game to bed but NO.
Former Mooncoin Celtic Golden Boot winner Mick ‘Golden Boots’ Foran drilled home for Ballyduff from 23 yards leaving stand in keeper Kevin Kennedy scrambling across the goal but unfortunately Mick has the bragging rights on this one. We saw out the game without too much fuss afterwards. Good displays by all today with Andrew Mccarthy and Johnny Power standing out. No goal today for Neville ‘goal a game’ Synnott.
300 Club draw details
Our 300 Club Monthly Draw will take place tomorrow, Monday 28th at 6 p.m.
U11 Boys play Park Rangers
We entertained Park Rangers in the first non competitive fixture at this level this morning in sunny Ashgrove. All players from both clubs put in a huge effort with tired legs aplenty at the end. Good start for Mike Molloy and John O’Connor’s young group.
U13 Result: Kilmacthomas 1 Mooncoin Celtic 3
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.
