Three in the Waterford U19 Womens Squad

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.

3rd Division League: Mooncoin Celtic 2 – 2 Villa

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.

U12b Boys League: Ballinroad 2 – 1 Mooncoin Celtic

This will definitely be remembered as the one that got away this season.

Mooncoin dominated the majority of the game with most of the action coming down the left side. Sean and Aaron both had good chances early on. Cian quickly squared the ball to Aaron on the edge of the box following a fast throw in from Billy.

Aaron shifted the ball from left to right foot on the run and powered a shot into the top corner for 1-0. The boys continued to dominate and were unlucky not to get a penalty when a Ballinroad defender momentarily caught the ball with both hands in their penalty area.

Fortunately for the home team the referee was the only person on the pitch not to see this.


The lads continued to perform admirably in the second half with Cian and Jason attacking well on the flanks but the finish was lacking on the day.

Ballinroad pounced on a short pass back to make it all square and with Mooncoin pushing for a second goal they again punished us for a loose break of the ball in the dying seconds.

It was the best performance of the season from our lads and if they keep this up the results will certainly follow.

U12C Boyd Result: Mooncoin Celtic 0 – 6 Tramore

It was a day to forget for the u12B lads as a free-scoring albeit fortunate Tramore came to town and scored with a follow up from a good save, a rebound off the crossbar from a penalty and a deflected effort being some of the highlights from their four first half goals.

Mooncoin fought hard in the second half and created a number of chances, one of which was saved on the line with Tramore scoring from the resultant breakaway.

The last goal was probably fortunate also. 6-0 to the visitors.
