School Boys/Girls and Junior League Football in South Kilkenny
Big thanks to Will Kinsella, FAI Development Officer for Kilkenny, for overseeing the PDP 1 course held in the last week in Suir Crescent.
Well done to the 16 coaches who completed their first coaching course and they will look to put it to good use with our younger kids.
We plan to hold another PDP 1 and PDP 2 in the coming weeks and months.
The Mooncoin Celtic Schoolgirls and Schoolboys 50/50 draw was held this Sunday and the winner is:
Liam ‘Giz’ O’Brien
Liam won €183
Next draw is 20th of November at 6:00pm.
Entry envelopes are available in all the following businesses :
Blanchfields Centra, Mooncoin Costcutter, Crokes Shop, Comerfords Bar, Royal Oak, Bubbles and Bows, Mondo’s Takeaway
Thank you all for the continued support.
There was 12 left standing heading in to Week 9 in the race for €1000, there are now only 8 with poor performances by Everton and Man Utd costing 4 entries.
Week 10 throws up another bundle of tricky fixtures so we might see a winner before the World Cup break.
Best of luck to all remaining entries.
This morning we took delivery of an important piece of match day equipment at our new grounds in Suir Crescent.
Courtesy of a donation from a very kind local businessman (who wishes to remain anonymous), Croom Concrete delivered two precast concrete dugouts which will be a massive on matchday for our subs and coaches for both home and away teams.
Unfortunately, the soft ground conditions will delay their final resting spot for now.
Huge thanks for the kind donation 👏👏👏👏.
12 left standing heading in to Week 9, selections are as follows:
Leeds 6, Man Utd 3,Newcastle 2,Everton 1.
Best of luck to all remaining entries.
Due to the poor weather all week, all Schoolboys matches are off for Saturday.
Congratulations to our most recent winner of our Schoolgirls and Schoolboys 50 50 draw, Kathleen O’Brien who wins €202 for supporting the club.
This week’s draw takes place tomorrow evening in Suir Crescent at 6.30.

MCFC’s 50-50 Split the Pot

The u17 Munster Cup took Mooncoin all the way to the Rebel county where we took on Wilton FC .
The weather was unpredictable today, but the same could not be said of the Mooncoin Outfit . We pressed from the very beginning and applied pressure all over the field .
On the 15 minute mark we had a stonewall penalty denied after Emily Blackmore was taken down inside the box .. we didn’t need to wait too long to rectify the situation as On the 18 minute mark Molly Long played a beautiful though ball to Emily who went one on one with the Wilton keeper before confidently slotting home ….. within 5 minutes we had hit the net again , when Sommer Grant played a pin point pass to Emily’s feet on the wing , who then passed the defence with some fancy footwork and squared the pass across to Ella Brennan who blasted the ball into the bottom right corner of the net.
Sophie Scahill Niamh Reddy Eimear Quinn and Luiseach O Donohue were rock solid in the defence with Alanah Tobin giving a fine display in goal quenching any hope of a Wilton Goal .
We added a third on the 33 minute mark when Sommer Grant crossed a corner kick that looked to cross the line , but just incase , Sarah Walsh made sure that the ball ended up in the net .
The second half was a livelier affair with both teams going toe to toe with nothing between them . The Game finished with the Visitors 3 goals to the Good and a progression to the next stage .
A special thanks to Rene and Seamus Comerford who subsidised the Bus fare for todays trip .
Here are the set of numbers that will be used for this year’s 300 club syndicate.

A wet and windy evening awaited us on our trip to Evergreens Fantastic Facilities in Kilkenny for an u16 SFAI girls game .
It was the girls first game on Astro under light .
We started the game with gusto and made our intentions known from the beginning . Making some very good attacks from the first kick .
Evergreen Were just as eager and made their presence known , with Goal keeper Emily Blackmore called into action on a number of occasions
We drew first blood on the 15 minute mark when Molly Murphy cleared a ball that Sophie Scahill connected with , sending it in over the top where Aoibhe Rees had a shot in goal that was saved and sent to the left wing where an eager Ella Brennan wasted no time in slotting today the net .
Evergreen Equalised within a few minutes and added a second one on the 32 minute mark . We Clawed it back to level in the second half where some got team work between Aoibhe and Ella , resulted in Rees slitting to the net … we held our own for long periods of time , and Molly Murphy , Niamh Did very well in our defence . Saoirse Corcoran put in a fin effort before having to leave the pitch due to an injury .
In the final 15 , Evergreen Pulled away , leaving the final Score at 5-2
