Mooncoin welcomed Piltown Blue to Suir Crescent. A Strong defence kept a hard working Piltown team away from scoring anymore than 1 goal.

Midfield worked tirelessly in both defence & attack. Our strikers kept their defence busy and were very unlucky on more than one occasion not to add to our final tally of 4 goals.

Our girls played some brilliant passes and kept the ball flowing throughout the match. Briona got us on the score board after 20minutes followed shortly after by another goal from Anna Reddy.

The second half started off slow for us & Piltown slipped a goal past our posts. Changes at half time saw Alexi come on up front & it wasn’t long until she directed the ball straight in to the back of the net a move which she repeated less than 10 minutes later to bring us to a 4-1 win.

A very slow start from the boys cost them dearly against a slick passing Tramore side who raced into a two goal lead in the first 10 minutes.

Eventually they got going coming in to half time and Jack Twomey pulled a goal back with a bullet header. Plenty chances came their way in the second half with James O’Keeffe Bolger going close twice before Tramore snatched a third.

A Ryan Sutton header gave the lads late hope but unfortunately it wasn’t to be.

We had one team in action today and that was our u10 girls who visited sunny Graun Park to take on Tramore and they put a brilliant performance with Maria Dunphy among the goals and all girls on duty playing really well throughout against a good Tramore team.

Title chasing St Paul’s hosted us today on the moon in perfect conditions. From the off, the boys pestered St Paul’s and gave very little space all over. On 25 minutes Ryan Carroll slotted home after a long throw by Chris O’Hanlon.

We were under a wee bit of pressure after this but weathered the storm and Ryan Carroll popped up again to nod home from a Chris O’Hanlon cross this time. Second half started and we quickly went 3 up with Derek Tebay nodding home after Jason Sauvage had a free kick fumbled.

We continued to attack and possibly could have been out of sight but for poor finishing and bad luck. To be fair St Paul’s had plenty chances but our young defence stood firm before two scrambles resulted in a nervy finish. Excellent performance by all on duty today but special mention to a red hot Ryan Carroll.

An even contest once again with Ballinroad saw both teams cancel each other out in the first half. Second half was more open and Mooncoin were desperately unlucky when Sean rattled the crossbar from twenty yards.

Unfortunately Ballinroad went ahead a minute later and went two up soon after. Mooncoin pushed on and won a free on the right. Tom whipped the ball to the far post and Padraig stuck his header into the corner.

That was about as good as it got however in spite of a late rally. 2-1 to the visitors.
