A very one sided affair on a glorious morning in Suir Crescent with our boys trying all they could to get in to the game but Park Rangers were too strong. Better days ahead hopefully.
U15 League Result Mooncoin Celtic 4 Piltown 4
A cracking derby match in red hot conditions before a large crowd. A hat trick for Charlie M and a Cathal M finish were still not enough to take the three points on offer with Piltown scoring four of their own.
U13C League Result Mooncoin Celtic 4 Villa 4
A rip roaring opening game with the lads 3-1 down at half time and came back to lead 4-3 with time running out before Villa scored a late penalty to get a draw. Tyler K, Kevin McG and two excellent finishes from Lexi W saw a point earned.
U11E League Result Carrick United 1 Mooncoin Celtic 1
The lads traveled to carrick today for a sticky first fixture in the blistering heat.
We started very brightly and put our stamp on the game from the off with Edmund M and Charlie O’K causing carrick all kinds of problems on the wings. The defence of Billy M, Corey T and Patrick P kept carrick very quiet and the opening goal came late in the first half when Ryan O’L and Charlie O’K done well to win the ball in our half. Ryan set Cormac M away and John Joe W came flying in brilliantly to tuck away Cormac’s cross. Jim C and Aideen O’K came in after the goal to get fresh legs and keep the lead. We played very well in the second half with some smart goalkeeping from Thomas M keeping us in front. Unfortunately he could do nothing to keep out the carrick equaliser which came from a dubious free kick which was very well converted. Chances came and went for both sides but we had to settle for a draw. The defence today was excellent and in particular todays man of the match Corey. The whole team put in an excellent effort today and have definitely all earned an ice cream after it.
HON THE COIN 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
U11D League Result Bohs 3 Mooncoin Celtic 1
This group can count themselves very unlucky to have not got a draw at the very least. A slow start saw them 2 down at the break bug they hit the post and also went close on a couple of occasions too. Second half saw them roar out and hit crossbar twice and post again before pulling a goal back through Liam McDonnell. Try as they might they couldn’t get an equaliser and Bohs got a deflected 3rd goal to sneak it. Disappointed group afterwards but lots learned by all on duty.
U11A League Result Ferrybank 5 Mooncoin Celtic 3
Scorching conditions in glorious Ferrybank for a 12.30 kick off. Ferrybank dominated the first half but the boys were well in the game with Ted McLoughlin finishing well to equalise in the first half. Second half saw a couple of sloppy goals given away but back roared the boys with Shane Mackey and Billy Fielding notching. Ferrybank knocked in their 5th to secure all three points. This young side will no doubt improve as the season will progress in the top division.

Former player signs for Waterford FC
The very best of luck to one of our former players, Ethan Owens, who has signed with Waterford FC and is sure to have a big future in the game. From a young age in the academy, Ethan was destined for big things due to his hard work on the training ground and working hard out in his back garden in all kinds of weather since a young age. Ethan follows in the footsteps of Daniel Ponce de Leon, who is having a really good debut season for the young Blues ⚽⚽⚽⚽
1B League Result Mooncoin Celtic 1 Villa 5
Very disappointing display from the lads this morning with Villa deservedly taking the three points. Some very poor mistakes were to prove costly with Villa 4 up at the break. They knocked in number 5 just after half time with another defensive error proving costly. We pulled a goal back through Kieran Fagan but a bad day all round.
