3rd Division: Waterford Crystal 1 – 0 Mooncoin Celtic

Posted on by

We travelled to the Crystal grounds to face the title challengers and can count ourselves very unlucky not to come away with a point at least. A disciplined performance throughout frustrated Crystal while a few chances came our way without the finished product.

87 minutes on the clock and it looked like a stalemate but the experience of the evergreen Davy Squealer Walsh winning a free out wide with the resulting delivery producing the winner with Jake Moore just beaten to it by the Crystal player.

Disappointing result but a very encouraging and much improved display from all today.

First game since October and considering the rain and wet conditions we started well even though we were missing 2 key players. Cathal Morahan opened the scoring with a superb goal. Villa got 2 back before half time and got 2 more in the 2nd half. Jay dunphy got a cracking goal to make it 2-4 at full time. Sophie Scahill was outstanding in defence today.

Youths League: Mooncoin Celtic 0 – 2 Villa A

Today we had the mighty task of facing up to Villa A in Suir Crescent.

We asked the lads to embrace this fixture and work on our defensive game and try hold Villa, who we knew would try to play football for the whole 90mins.

The team applied themselves brilliantly throughout the game and only conceded two goals near the end.

Lots of positives from the game today and a few things to work on in training, we would be confident this group should do well in the coming months. All the team put in a big performance today but MOTM goes to Lee Freyne playing in a sweeper position for the first time.
