U18 Girls League Villa FC 1 Mooncoin Celtic 3

Our 18s girls team travelled to Connors Park yesterday evening to take on The Villa .
After what has been a very difficult time for Our Club and the girls involved in this team , we took to the pitch with 4KC on our minds and close to our hearts

What ensued was an epic battle between the two sides , with The Mooncoin Side leaving with all three points .

There was very little to separate the two teams, and after a slow start, we grew into the game. We opened the scoring on 39 minutes when Grace O Toole sent a free kick to the right corner of the pitch where Sommer Grant sent the ball in towards the penalty area , where a patient Sarah Walsh took a touch before putting the ball in the back of the net with a superb finish. Villa pulled back the goal on the stroke of half-time when we fell asleep from a corner

The second half was a lively affair , and we took the lead after 5 mins with another well placed pass from Sommer , with Emily Blackmore on the receiving end of the Pass , and didn’t hesitate sending the ball in to the net . Play was stopped temporarily when two players had a clash of heads. With Grace and the Villa player having to leave the field. Speedy recovery to Grace , who put in an epic shift in the Mooncoin shirt tonight . Young Molly Murphy stepped in to fray and gave fine performance.
Villa had a few chances , but Abbie Hassett was on hand and pulled off some great saves tonight when it counted the most . Our third goal came from Molly Long who was on hand when Ella Brennan sent a superb corner kick towards the back post . Molly took the ball down and slotted home . Great 3 points away from home in a hard fought game.

1B Result Mooncoin Celtic 0 St Paul’s 3

A cold frosty morning in Suir Crescent saw St Paul’s secure the three points on offer with the 10 week break since our last run out very evident for young group. Three first half goals were enough on the day, we did rattle the Paul’s bar in each half but rarely threatened other than that. We’d like to thank St Paul’s physio Danny O’Neill for his care and attention looking after a nasty injury to Kevin Law mid way through the second half. Speedy recovery to Kevin in what his first game back. Seaview away next Sunday to give the boys the opportunity to put today behind them.

U14B League Carrick untied 6 Mooncoin Celtic 1

A beautiful sunny winters day for our first u14 league match in 2024. Mooncoin started brightly and some good work between Cathal and Shane resulted in a shot hitting the cross bar and another sneaking past the far post. Carrick took the lead on 5 minutes from a Mooncoin mistake which was the theme of the day. Carrick led at half time 3 nil. Better possession in the second half for Mooncoin but no luck today in front of goal. Some good saves by Bradley kept the score the same. 3 late goals by Carrick gave them the deserved win, but the scoreline flattered them. Plenty of effort by all the lads today who will need to pick themselves up for the next game.

Congratulations girls

The Waterford u19 Squad enjoyed some great football at Holy Cross north Tipp yesterday afternoon.
Mooncoin was represented by Hannah Carroll , Sommer Grant ,Ciara O Keeffe and Emily Blackmore . With Hannah (1) and Emily (2) bagging goals .
Well done Girls .
