Deep Condolences

Today is an incredibly sad day for the Phelan and Kelly family following the passing of Vicky, after what can only be described as one hell of a battle.

Vicky was a true warrior, who displayed huge courage, bravery and composure in recent years through campaigning and her fight against her illness.

Vicky was an inspiration to young and old, female and male. Her leadership has left a lasting legacy on Ireland. The country has lost a hero. Condolences from all involved in Mooncoin Celtic FC. Rest In Peace, Vicky.

U14 Girls: Mooncoin 1 – 2 Bohemians

Bohs came to Suir Crescent Sunday and a right battle took place. It was end to end from start to finish with Bohs marginally coming out on top.


A strike from the edge of the box crept in to give Bohs the lead mid way through the first half.
A super strike from distance from Ellie Thompson levelled the score after the break.


A great run and clean strike late on sealed the points for Bohs.
The result didn’t reflect the battle on the field when a draw may have been fairer.


Final score Mooncoin 1-2 Bohs

Mooncoin Celtic U10 Girls

Our two u10 teams played games this morning in the non competitive league.

A tight game for our older girls against Southend with a real battle fought out while our younger girls played a strong Tramore side.

We have a big number of girls with these two groups and both squads requiring plenty game time to develop.

3rd Division: Piltown 1 – 3 Mooncoin Celtic

A quick start saw the lads go one up early on through a tidy Jamie Moore finish from just outside the box after good work by Sean Grace and Kieran Fagan.

With the midfield three of Adam Cunningham, Kevin Conneely and Joey O’Hanlon on top, the pressure was telling with a few corners nearly resulting in a second before Kevin Law nodded home one of Adam Cunningham’s inswingers on 35 minutes to put a little bit of daylight between the two teams.

The second half saw Piltown get back in to the game on the hour mark but that was as good as it got with Kieran Fagan heading home our third from a Sean Grace corner.

Good performance in soft conditions.

Girls U17: Cappoquin Railway 0 – 4 Mooncoin Celtic

This mornings road trip took our u17 Girls team in Rainy cappaquinn .

We didn’t create too many chances in the first half , but our solid defence of Sophie Scahill , Ciara O Keeffe and Eimear Quinn made sure that Cappaquinn didn’t create anything at the other end either .

The introduction of Ella Brennan on the 25 minute mark turned the game on its head and changed the dynamic of the Mooncoin play .


Some stern words and straight talking at half time took immediate effect , a Sarah Walsh through ball after less than a minute in the second half was run onto by Emily Blackmore who steadied herself before shooting home .

Within two minutes the same duo struck again when Emily Lined up for Sarah , who finished to the net …..

Sommer Grant saw two chances go marginally wide as the Mooncoin girls begin to dominate the mid field .

On the 55 minute Mark Mooncoin struck again when a well worked Ella Brennan cross from the corner of the pitch was taken down by Emily who side stepped a defender before shooting to the top right corner .

The fourth of the day came after Ella Brennan found herself on the receiving end of a pass front of goal and she made no mistake in slotting the ball to the back of the net .

Todays game was our third win from three in this league .

Our next fixture is a Munster Cup game in two weeks.
