WSFL Under 16c Result
Piltown 1 vs Mooncoin Celtic 3

A hugely entertaining game against neighbors Piltown with little or nothing between the two sides. Both sides made loads of chances that should have been put away but it was one of those days. Piltown started to dictate the run of the game after 20 mins but against the run of play. Liam Mackey gave a beautiful thru ball to Marcos to leave him 1 on 1 with the keeper. After a great attempted save Marcos Bometon found the corner of the net. Again Piltown stepped it up and equalised before half time deservedly. After the break we started to find more space in behind the defenders and we started created some chances. Lots of which we should have converted. Fortunately we did take the lead with Liam Mackey putting us 2-1 up. Piltown didn’t give and kept coming at us but we were after finding a bit of an edge upfront. Emmett Cusack had a few chances but was clear on goal and taken down in the box. Liam Mackey converted the penalty to put us 3-1 up. Both teams finished off the game with more chances to score but we held out for the 3 points with the game being steadied by our three subs. Great team performance all round but and a few stand out ones in Micheal Murphy, Ben Buckley, Josh McLaughlin, Cian O’Leary and a safe pair of hands in goal Emily Blackmore. Man of the Match must go to Liam Mackey.. All credit to the team. Emily Blackmore, Cian O’Leary, Cormac Fenton, Gavin Coady, Ben Buckley, Josh McLaughlin, Lucas Delahunty, Micheal Murphy, Liam Mackey, Marcos Bometon, Emmett Cusack. Subs who came one were Ben Dawson, Adam Corcoran, Eoghan Drennan. Huge praise for a very good Piltown team and best of luck for the rest of the season.

Women’s Winter League Mooncoin Celtic 2 Benfica 5

Mooncoin and Benfica went head to head this evening in a delayed fixture in the Women’s Winter league

Our young squad and a couple of not so young squad members took to the pitch in Ozier. Benfica got off to a flyer when they scored on the 10 minute mark . But Mooncoin reacted well and a set piece taken by Shauna Mullowney was sent to the back of the net off the boot of Emily Blackmore, who timed her strike just right . Some sloppy defending from ourselves saw us concede three goals before the break to see us go in 4-1 down at half time.
The second half was a much better half from us and we played some very good football . Pressing more with our passing and communication much improved on the first half display. Benfica added a fifth to their tally 15 mins in . We introduced our subs into the game . Caoimhe Power and Ella Brennan making an immediate impact . We added a second goal to the scoresheet halfway through the half when Ella Brennan took possession of a ball on the halfway line ….. she took off down the wing , spotting Emily in an advantageous position she played the ball out in front of her . Emily was first to the ball and headed towards goal , and with the advancing benfica keeper , she made  sure to take her shot at the right time and slotting to the bottom right corner with a lovely left foot finish . Stand out performances tonight from Sommer Grant , Kate Mcgrath, Shaunna Mullowney, and Emily Blackmore with every player putting in a massive effort.
