300 Club Draw for October
The 300 Club Syndicate October monthly draw and the end of year Superdraw will be held in Comerford’s Bar, Saturday 29 Oct at 8:00 p.m. As always we would like to thank all our members for their continued support.
A New Beginning
In 2018, The Mooncoin Celtic Finance and Development Committee was formed with the sole aim of developing the new Mooncoin Celtic home ground in Suir Crescent over a four-year period.
The committee held its first official meeting in July 2018 and at this time, the committee members included Denis Healy (Chairperson), John Ryan (Vice Chairperson), Seamus Comerford and Noel O Keeffe (Co-Treasurers), Michelle O Hanlon (Secretary), Tom Grant, Gillian Bailey, and Michael Comerford.
Work on the new home ground had already begun with a massive overhaul of the drainage system. Since then, major works on the pitch development, dressing rooms and flood lights has been completed with a total spend of just over €400,000.
The money to complete this work came from the Sports Capital Grant, Kilkenny County Council grants and loans from the Waterford Junior League and Clann Credo. None of this would have been achievable without the continued success of our 300 Club Lottery Syndicate.
We would like to thank all the shareholders of the 300 Club for their continued support which has attributed to the prevalent success of the syndicate and of the development and allowed us to be in a position to attain grants and loans.
It is time now for a change as the current Finance and Development Committee step down and a new committee to come on board. The new committee are Mervyn O Callaghan (Chairperson), Kieran Holohan (Vice – Chair), David Brennan (Secretary), Caroline O Mahoney and Eileen McGrath (Co-Treasurers), Aideen Murphy .
We wish the new committee all the success in completing the development in Suir Crescent and look forward to a bright future for Mooncoin Celtic with big plans in the pipeline.

U12 Girls SFAI Cup:
Mooncoin Celtic 3 – 3 Gorey Rangers.
AET, Gorey Rangers won 2-1 on penalties.
An absolute belter of a cup tie between two evenly matched teams and the large crowd present were enthralled throughout the 80 minutes.
Gorey went ahead after 10 minutes with a long range effort which evaded Hannah Dobbyn on goal.
The girls were quick to bounce back and a pass from Courtenay O’Shea Power saw Molly Walsh steer home the equaliser. 1 all at half time but the girls flew out of the traps and took a deserved lead again through Molly Walsh after a long kick out from Hannah Dobbyn.
Gorey responded with 10 left on the clock to make it 2-2 before we broke away and Áine O’Sullivan scored to have us in the driving seat. With the clock just tipping 60 minutes Gorey Rangers broke clear to get a last gasp equaliser.
Extra time saw each side have a few chances but no more goals followed. On on to the dreaded penalty shoot out where 18 penalties were taken with some great saves by each keeper but Gorey came out on top 2-1 on penalties.
Heartbreaking stuff and plenty tears afterwards but a very good performance by everyone involved.
Big thanks to Ashling Dobbyn for overseeing refreshments before, during and after the game and also thank you to all parents for supplying baked goods.
Best of luck to Gorey Rangers in the next round and safe trip home.
Footpaths are ready
This week saw the completion of 165 metres of footpaths in Suir Crescent allowing pedestrians to walk safely all the way to the dressing rooms without the worry of traffic.
Watmór Construction and Civil Ltd have again done an excellent job on the development by extending the parking area to double our parking capacity and constructing the footpath for safe entry for all kids in to the ground.
Nearly all matches cancelled for the weekend
Due to the poor weather all week and the poor forecast on Sunday, all games are cancelled this weekend bar SFAI cup games and luckily we will host Gorey Rangers on Sunday at 2pm in the U12SFAI Cup and would love support from all on the day for this young side.
