A flat first half was to prove costly for this side who had gone 6 games unbeaten up until today.

A scrappy goal midway through the half saw Villa take the lead and we didn’t really trouble the home keeper in the first half.

Second half was a different story with the boys dominating and Villa relying on the break.

The post was to stop Ryan Sutton equalising and Jack Twomey rattled the crossbar with a bullet header to deny us while we had numerous corners with no luck and unfortunately Villa broke in the last minute to grab the three points.

TJ was captain today as the lads put 7 goals away in a game played in wet cold conditions.

It would have been far more but for the heroics of the St. Joseph’s goalie particularly before the break. Shane scored the first two, the first one slotted away after a lovely pass from Eoin B.

The second was another tidy finish after his first shot was saved. Goal 3 was an unfortunate backpass with their keeper wrong-footed. Liam opened the second half scoring with a low hard shot from the edge of the box which the keeper let through his legs.

His next effort was saved by the keeper and bundled over the line by Donncha. Some great midfield play from Donncha saw him put Billy through on goal with the keeper to beat and he made no mistake with an unerring strike into the top corner.

The goal of the day however was from Eoin W who, as the ball fell to him outside the area whipped the ball into the keeper’s right giving him no chance.

An impressive win on Tuesday evening in Kilrush Park where our girls flew out of the traps.

Congratulations to three of our underage schoolgirls, Ciara O’Keeffe, Ciara Corcoran and Sommer Grant who have been selected in the Waterford U19 Gaynor squad for the upcoming inter league games.

Pictured above are Ciara O’Keeffe and Ciara Corcoran before a warm up friendly this evening.

An entertaining game played in sunny conditions this morning between two mid table teams.

Villa got an early penalty after a misjudged bounce caught Derek Tebay off guard and forced a foul. We responded quickly with the impressive Jonny Power causing trouble in the villa box to force our own penalty which Sean Grace buried.

The game swung from end to end throughout and we looked to have nicked the three points through Kieran Fagan but a late late corner was rifled home for a share of the spoils. First game in 6 weeks but no sign of rustiness from our boys today.

The girls showed great fight and spirit against a tall Park Rangers team this morning.

After a scoreless first half where there was very little between the teams it was Park Rangers who pulled away with two goals in the second half to end the morning Mooncoin 0-Park Rangers 2.

Keep up the hard work girls

A flat performance from our young side who didn’t get going at all today. Cloughbawn got two very good goals that Grace O Toole could do very little with.

The last 15 minutes saw us dominate but we could not get an equaliser after Emily Blackmore dragged us back in to the game with a rocket of a finish on 75 minutes.
