Tough outing for this young side against a bigger, well drilled Ballinroad team. In fairness the lads kept plugging away and created a few chances themselves.

First game for these boys in what seems like an eternity and the rustiness was evident with Ballinroad leading by 3 at half time. A much better second half saw us create more and we pulled a goal back through Sam but the bigger Ballinroad team notched a couple more.
U11E League Result. Park Rangers 7- Mooncoin 2
We travelled to cheekpoint for our first game in 6 weeks minus a few players and got off to a terrible start leaving in a couple of soft goals and were 3 nill down after 5 minutes. A formation change and the game was more evenly balanced with Edmund pulling one back before the home team scored again.
Man of the match Billy M set up John joe to make it 4-2 but as we kept pushing for more goals we got punished with a few late goals.
U14 Girls Result Cappoquin 3 Mooncoin Celtic 3
A strong start by our girls in this one saw us dominating but unfortunately no end product and it was Cappoquin who opened the scoring against the run of play. This kicked our girls in to gear and goals from Lexi with 2 and Ciara saw us 3-1 up at half time. An even enough second half saw plenty of chances for both teams but it was Cappoquin who converted theirs to pull it back to 3-3. Disappointed not to secure the 3 points but we’ll take the point against tough opposition.

Exciting game in Suir Crescent and we did well against a strong attacking team. The effort and performances
are not deserving of recent results but we kept going until the very end and we are improving every week. Firstly lets
say a huge congratulations to Bradley who has made the Waterford Development Squad and he showed on Saturday exactly why he
deserves it with another cracking display in goal saving many effots and a penalty also. We are finding our feet and some people are fitting in well into new positions and with some hard work on the training ground we
can turn this around once we can acquire a full squad for the games.Liam Mackey scored our goal from a free kick 30 yards out.
Some stand out performances on the day were from Cormac Fenton, Lucas Delahunty and Gavin Coady. Squad as follows
Bradley Nolan, Micheal Murphy, Cormac Fenton, Gavin Coady, Liam Mackey, Jake Clarke, Ben Buckley, Lucas Delahunty, Cillian Walshe,
Emmett Cusack, Marcos Cambra, Ben Dawson, Eoghan Drennan, Ross Cronin, Cian O’Leary.
End of an Era
All in Mooncoin Celtic would like to wish the very best for the future to Michael and Alice Blanchfield who finished in their roles as not just owners of Centra Mooncoin but also as the custodians of the main hub in our village. Covid 19 was to prove challenging for so many in our country, but Blanchfields were to the forefront in helping people locally and really excelled in how they helped the community during a very trying period. Any shop that can sell one winning Lotto ticket is special but to sell two in the space of a few years was something else and will forever be in the history books (We still can’t believe it wasn’t the 300 club syndicate) . As a club, we are extremely grateful for the support Michael and Alice showed us over the years in whatever way they could. Best of luck and good health going forward.
Girls u18s league Mooncoin Celtic 4 Cappoquin Railway FC 3
After not having a game for the last Month the Mooncoin u18s team were eager to take to the pitch today . Today was a debut game for Keeper Abbie Hassett , who did very well for us.
On a day where we never seemed to settle , we dug deep and managed to grind out a result . Sarah Walsh once again getting herself on the scoresheet today in the 22nd Minute . But a resilient Cappoquin Outfit grabbed the equaliser on the 38 minute mark . Mooncoin moved a lot better in the second half and created a few changes . Emily Blackmore grabbed a superbly taken goal ten minutes into the second half and doubled that in the 61st minute . Cappoquin were constantly on our tails . Hannah Carroll scored her first goal of the season from a perfectly struck free kick that sailed to the top right corner . The last ten minutes was a very lively affair with the opposition pulling back 2 goals in a 5 minute period . However to our girls credit , they dug deep and hung in there. Grabbing the all important three points from todays game .
Good performances today from Sarah Walsh, Grace O’Toole, Molly Long and in only her second game Niamh Enright

An evenly contested game was played with plenty chances for both teams throughout. We conceded half way through the first half from a corner that took a massive deflection to see the ball in the back of the net. We equalised before half time through great team play by Teddy D, Oisin O H, Pete D and Billy F with Billy hammering it home to make it 1-1. The 2nd half saw more chances created but it wasn’t to be. Shay M was introduced in the 2nd half getting very unlucky with a free kick being saved on to the crossbar and later on giving a great long ball to put Oisin through where he was very unlucky not to score with the keeper making a great save. The goalkeeper Oscar O K and the back 3 of Luke H, Tom D, Dylan O H were very solid throughout. Plenty positives to take with this young group and another point on the board.
