U11E League Result Mooncoin Celtic 1 De la Salle 1

Our under 11s gang had their first competitive home game of the year today and on the back of a very good draw up in carrick confidence was high and we started the game really well getting on the attack early through Ryan and Charlie who pressed really well to win the ball and Charlie played a cross field ball to John joe who cut in onto his left and put in a lovely in-swinging cross that cormac finished brilliantly first time into the roof of the net. We created further chances through Edmond who put in a superb display all day down the right side tormenting the de la salle defence. We brought billy and Kieran in late in the first half to keep de la salle out and went in 1-0 up at the break. The second half was a different story with de la salle talking control of the game. Our defence of Aiden, Corey and Patrick were outstanding in the second half and with Thomas behind them pulling off 5 or 6 great saves it looked like we would see it out but they snatched an equaliser when a fine save from Thomas was turned home by their striker to level the game.
We were under serous pressure for the closing ten minutes but the whole team worked their socks off to hold on in particular brothers Aidan and Charlie who broke up attack after attack. We rotated between Jim Kieran billy and Ryan second half to keep legs in the team and all 12 players should be very proud of their efforts today with a really well earned draw against a very good team.
Man of the match today could have been any of the defenders with all performing really well but our keeper Thomas was the hero today with some fantastic saves to gain the draw. Onwards and upwards for a great little team.

Girls u18 League Tramore 2 Mooncoin Celtic 3

Mooncoin got off to a dream start collecting all three points on offer in Tramore yesterday morning .
Our Back four worked very well together managing to keep the Tramore threat at bay . With Goalie Grace O Toole on hand to clear up anything that found its way through .
It took us a while to find our groove , but we had a breakthrough on the 20 minute mark when Sarah Walsh slotted home to give us the lead . There was some great passages of play from both teams before Sarah doubled our lead 5 minutes before halftime.
Some changes at half-time freshened up the squad , and we found the net again at the midway point , when persistence paid off and Aoibhe Rees finished to the back of the net . A resilient Tramore clawed back two goals which made the remainder of the game very exciting to watch . But again , our back four stepped up and did the necessary to keep the scoreline in our favour .

Under 16c League Seaview Celtic 2 vs Mooncoin Celtic 1

Encouraging performance by the under 16 team today. Starting off the game in full control and heading into the half time break with a 1-0 lead. Very windy conditions played a huge factor today and the home team took advantage of it in the second half and added two early goals which was enough to win the day. However we bounced back and gave everything to try get the equalizer and would be forgiven to be going home disappointed without anything to show for it. A wild wind assisted goal from a corner which Liam M will claim for us. Big thank you to Laura Cody for all the help today and for everyone who turned out to support.
