U16 Girls League Mooncoin Celtic 3 Ballyduff 0

Our girls took to the pitch this morning for our first game of 2024 against Ballyduff. It was cold but conditions were perfect for the game. We set out our side to stifle the opposition and it worked out from the kick off. We had 3 or 4 good chances to score before Ella Brennan broke the deadlock on 13 minutes. We continued to create chances and we doubled our lead through Aoibhe Rees scored on 20 minutes. Because of our attacking game plan we almost got caught before halftime.
The second half started much like the first with our girls pushing on. And about 10 minutes into the second half Ella Brennan popped up to score her second. Midway through the half Saoirse Corcoran fell awkwardly and had to be taken off due to injury.
All of the 19 girls who were there got game time and every single one of them played their part in Mooncoin’s 3 0 victory. A very good performance by all against a Ballyduff side that never gave up and showed a great attitude throughout the game.
Only downside is Saoirse’s injury and hopefully she will be back in a couple of weeks.

Ladies League Result Mooncoin Celtic 5 Bohemians 3

An emotional day for this young squad who were returning to action for the first time since losing their team mate Kate Corcoran in late November. There was a fitting tribute before the game with the young Bohemians girls providing a guard of honour on to the pitch for the Mooncoin Celtic squad which included Kate’s sister Ciara. A minute’s applause was held before the game along with the release of a balloon in to the big blue sky which was very fitting, as it is Kate’s favourite colour.
On to the action and Bohs drew first blood with the opener before three quick fire goals through Bethany Carroll, Emily Blackmore and Sommer Grant saw us 3-1 at the break. Another super finish by Emily saw a bit of daylight but Bohs roared back with two more goals before Emily sealed the win with another good finish. A fitting win to pay tribute to their late team mate. A massive thank you to Bohemians, the referee Tristan Russell and all present for their support today. A final thank you to all who provided refreshments and helped out afterwards.

1B League Result Seaview Celtic 4 Mooncoin Celtic 1

A beautiful morning in Annestown for this league tie between two sides struggling for a win with a while. A very quick start saw several chances come our way but no finished product. Jack Ryan tapped home the opener on 12 minutes but Seaview capitalised on sloppy play with two quick fire goals. The second half was even enough with very few chances created by either team and two late goals saw Seaview over the line.

U13 Result Mooncoin Celtic 2 Piltown 2

Our U13s had a hard fought draw at home to piltown today that finished 2-2 it was a tight first half but piltown nicked 2 soft goals from set pieces. As soon as the second half kicked off Mooncoin Celtic were on top and got 2 goals back but probably should of got more. All and all the lads showed great character to claw their way back into it. Goal scorers were TJ and Aaron.

U11D League Result Dungarvan United 3 Mooncoin Celtic 1

A right ding doing battle took place in Kilrush Park in Dungarvan. A couple of early goals saw the hosts nudge ahead but our boys kept at it but unfortunately luck wasn’t on their side. Dungarvan scored a third before we pulled a goal back through Denis who headed home a corner. The second saw an even enough affair and Dungarvan held on for three points.
