Our U11 Green Squad headed to the seaside this morning to tackle Tramore in cold conditions. The cold weather didn’t stop both clubs putting on two cracking games with goals galore in two very tight games.

Piltown came to visit this Saturday morning in breezy conditions. This was second game on the trot that we dominated from start to finish. The defence was rock soild throughout and our patient buildup play soon paid off. Robbie Doherty scored the opener from close range. Jamie Croke got a birthday goal after great work from Robbie. 2-0 at the break. We kept our foot on the pedal in the second half and a great shot from Robbie gave him his second. A thunder bolt from Canice Kinsella put the game well and truly beyond Piltown. The icing on the cake was an Emily Blackmore debut goal after she picked the full backs pocket and calmly shot home. Final score 5.0.
Fantastic squad performance from all 16 that took the field.
Man of the match Aidan Carroll , he covered every blade of grass on the pitch with a dominant display

While games were falling by the wayside this morning our U10 Purple Girls put in a fantastic show in picturesque Faithlegg against Park Rangers in damp conditions. Goals galore by both sides and some very happy kids and coaches afterwards.

Amazing to see the difference a year makes with this group of girls who along with the Pink Squad are getting maximum game time and it is certainly paying off.

Super performance from the team today at Ben Wadding Park. A performance that was in the making. We started out very strong and took the game to Bohs. Lee Freyne carrying a knee injury was instrumental in the number 10 role today which was new for him but he played a part in our opener which was put away by Sam Hartwell. The game remained close and Bohs had some chances one in particular which drew a fantastic save by Jonah O’Toole. 1-0 at half time., The second half was completely ours and early on we added a second from Sam Hartwell who was played in by a training ground thru ball from Diego Blanco Ibañez. Sam used his fierce to tally up his hat trick which capped off another fine performance. Adam Conway was frustrated not to score after making some great runs through the defence as was Sean Lennon who was an absolute nightmare to handle on the left. Sean was very unlucky not to score after weaving in and out through at least 7 players. Dylan Conway was involved in your first goal and was unlucky not to score. Lee Freyne scores our fourth. Mikey Cronin came on and was involved in everything. A great performance by Mikey capped off with an absolute screamer of a goal to make it 5-0. Alex Bailey was put at Centre back today away from his favored midfield role but when you need a man to do a job Alex is the man. He broke down absolutely every Bohs attack. He was flanked by Ciara O’Keeffe and Denis Kinsella who both put in solid performances. Extremely difficult to pick man of the match however man of steel Conor Dermody edges it today. Simple impassible and gave great supply from the back. It was nice to see a full bench today with Aaron Fewer and Matthew Morahan and Stephen Foran getting in on the action and all playing very well. A nice confidence booster and well deserved after all the hard work put in on the training ground. Well done everyone

We started very well against the champions elect and had a couple of half chances before Carrick started to get into it. A good free kick put Carrick 1 up but again Mooncoin pressed and were unlucky not to level when a ball flew across the Carrick goal line and just missed Evan Clearys toe (a bad miss). 2nd half was tit for tat throughout. Liam Quinn mistimed a tackle & Carrick won a peno to make it 2-0. Again we pressed and Jack Conway taught he had scored only to be ruled offside, with 5 minutes left Carrick wrapped it up and deservedly clinched a competitive league. Congratulations to Carrick Utd players and coaches.
