School Boys/Girls and Junior League Football in South Kilkenny
Today marks 5 years since this man, our dear friend Rocky left us way too soon.
A colourful, warm and funny character who loved the chat and the banter with everyone he encountered. We know he’d be a happy man seeing his beloved Man Utd back near the top of the table and knowing Rocky, he’d be even more delighted with seeing Liverpool struggling these days. A great Mooncoin Celtic man, gone but certainly not forgotten
A very off colour performance by all Sunday was punished by a slick Bohs outfit who are steamrolling all in their way.
Six poor mistakes were to prove costly, three in each half were the story of the game. Credit to Bohs for some good finishes throughout, best of luck to Bohs in the next round.

We travelled to Kilmac and found Alaska Park to be windier than usual. Playing with the wind we edged the first 15 mins and when Jamie C picked up a ball on left edge of the box he made no mistake with a great strike to put us ahead.
We dominated the midfield with Liam, Conor and Oisin in control and a ball out to the right found Cathal who cut inside to finish low to the net. 2 up at the break , we faced the gale for the 2nd 40 minutes.
Both teams fought to get on top when a deft pass from Cathal found Jamie G he raced clear to calmly finish. Kilmac threw everything at us and with 15 mins left they capitalised on a mistake to get 1 back. But the defence of Alex,Jack,Luke, Mattie and Tadhg on goal were not going to be beaten again.
A fantastic performance from 1 to 11 saw us bring the 3 points home. Well done team and coaches.
Goals Jamie C, Cathal, Jamie G
Mom. Liam who covered every blade of grass.
Special mention . Jamie G ran all day and was a constant threat.
A tough one to swallow for the lads today as they led twice in the game and even hit the woodwork in the second half but it wasn’t to be as the ref awarded two goals to Ferrybank, both of which appeared to be offside.
Aaron scored as usual from a free kick in the first half and Harry’s goal was a nice finish at the second time of asking. The signs are encouraging if performances continue like the one today.
A scrappy goal after some great wing play down Portlaw’s left decided this encounter. In spite of the goal the lads worked and defended extremely well against a big physical side and deserved far more than they got.
The U14’s welcomed local rivals Piltown AFC to Suir Crescent this afternoon. Piltown opened the scoring early in the first half with a shot Bradley could do nothing about. The two teams had plenty of scoring chances and just before half time Ryan Byrne equalised with a superb goal into the top corner!
Piltown kept coming at us and eventually got a second goal mid-way through the second half. Both teams kept pushing forward but unfortunately it wasn’t to be our day. It was a very close game, not much between the teams in the end. Mollie Murphy was outstanding in the defence and Ryan Byrne, Ben Dawson, Cathal & Bradley also had a great game.
Final score Mooncoin 1 – 2 Piltown.
