Congratulations to our most recent winner of our Schoolgirls and Schoolboys 50 50 draw, Hannah O’Shea who wins €223 for supporting the club. Great to see a near neighbour of the club getting lucky.
There are more 50-50 draws to come with draw envelopes available from local businesses and from training sessions.
Last weekend saw a very busy one with 10 teams involved but unfortunately only two victories recorded.
U12A Mooncoin Celtic 0 Villa 2 This squad will be wondering what they have to do to win as they dominated for long periods without getting the all important goals.
U12B Mooncoin Celtic 1 Stradbally 4 This new group showed lots of improvement and will be happy with valuable game time and experience gained. Noel Doyle got on the scoresheet in this one.
U14A Kilmacow 2 Mooncoin Celtic 0 A tight first half saw it end scoreless and it was always going to be that way. Kilmacow got the breakthrough just after half time and sealed the game late on.
U14B Mooncoin Celtic 3 Bohs 1 Goals from Jake Clarke, Eloi and Aoibhe Rees saw this squad secure three points and continue their good start.
U16 Ferrybank 6 Mooncoin 0 A tough morning against very good opposition, a few defensive lapses proved costly but this group will continue to work hard and results will follow.
3rd Division Kilbarry 3 Mooncoin Celtic 0 A quick start by Kilbarry saw them 2 up in 20 minutes and bar a couple of half chances for ourselves, Kilbarry dominated throughout and sealed the three points with a late third goal.
U10 Girls Our u10 girls had their first outing of the season against Villa and will be happy enough with plenty of goals scored and more importantly game time experienced.
U14A Girls SFAI Cup Mooncoin Celtic 0 Burrin Celtic 5 A very impressive Burrin Celtic came to visit on Sunday afternoon and progressed to the next round but our girls stuck at it throughout the game in horrendous conditions.
U14B Girls Cappoquin 8 Mooncoin Celtic 2 An interesting one this game was. A deserved win for Cappoquin with the girls having an off day, goals from Sophie Phelan and an og put a gloss on the scoreline.
U17 Girls Mooncoin Celtic 4 Villa 1 Two wins from two but they were made to work hard for this one against a tough villa side. Goals from Emily Blackmore 2, Ella Brennan and Sommer Grant saw three points secured.
Mooncoin welcomed Villa to Breezy Suir Crescent this morning for an 11am Kick Off .
Today was a game of two halves , with both teams going toe to toe for the first half , with very little to seperate them .
After some discussion at half time , and a few words amongst themselves, the girls took to the pitch with determination .
The break came for us 10 mins in when Emily Blackmore took a shot on goal , the villa keeper got to it, but the ball still found its way over the goal line .
Villa had a speedy response and within a couple of minutes had equalised .
This pushed the girls on again , and on the 15 minute mark , Emily Blackmore found herself again in a scoring position , and finished to the net making it two one .
The introduction of Ella Brennan a little earlier really changed the dynamic of the game , as her speed on the wing was proving pivotal for the Home side . Ella was rewarded by finding the net herself on the half way mark .
Our defence was tested on a number of occasions , with Ciara o keeffe making two clearances off the goal line after Alanah Tobin diverted a ball from front of goal . Ellie Corcoran was solid in the middle of the field and a lot of ball was moved through Ellie during todays game .
Luiseach O Donohue was her usual dependable self today and played her part in setting up of the Fourth goal . Passing a ball up the line to Sommer Grant who made no mistake and blasted for back of the net , the villa keeper did well again to deter the effort , but the ball still ended up in the back of the net .
Sommer had seen a long range shot come off the woodwork minutes before .
A well earned win today and three points on the Board .

Last weekend was a very busy one for all our teams involved over two mixed days weather wise, Saturday glorious, Sunday dreadful.
U11A Boys Southend 1 Mooncoin Celtic 0 This side, though depleted, showed signs of true potential and pushed Southend all the way.
U11B Boys Mooncoin Celtic 2 Ferrybank 2 Two up at half time thanks to Ted McLoughlin and Pete Dunphy against a decent Ferrybank team. Unfortunately the second half saw the boys pegged back but can count themselves very unlucky not to have won.
U11C Mooncoin Celtic 4 Villa 1 A tight but frantic first half saw few chances for Mooncoin with Tom Mackey the busier goalie making two saves. It ended with captain for the day Ben Mackey striking into the top corner after Villa had cleared a corner. The second half saw a flurry of goals with Bobby Kinsella, Eoin Barden, Donncha Mackey and Tom Mackey all scoring within ten minutes of the interval. Villa got back into it with a goal soon after. They were denied a second by a save from TJ Curran at full stretch as the ball bounced back off the post. 5-1 to the home team and top of the table with three wins from three.
U15 Boys Bohs 3 Mooncoin Celtic 0 Poor conditions on Sunday for this group and tough Away trip in Poleberry today with a depleted side against a very good drilled Bohs side ended in a 3-0 defeat, all the goals coming in the first half. The score line flatters us really with Bohs having all the possession and chances. Positives from it was the performance from Oisin at the back and the the girls Ella Brennan & Aoibhe Rees who played their hearts out.
U16 Girls Bohemians 1 Mooncoin Celtic 0 A very tight game with little between the sides in what is sure to be a very tight league. One goal was always going to win it and unfortunately Bohs sneaked it.
U12 White Girls Mooncoin Celtic 1 Carrick United 3 Horrendous conditions for this young group but it did not stop these determined girls who put in a performance which deserved more. Emily Fewer got the goal on the day.
U12 Green Girls Mooncoin Celtic 2 Ballyduff 3 A rip roaring game played in shocking conditions again but a big crowd cheered on both teams, Ballyduff just about shaded things but signs of improvement are evident. Lexi Walsh got both goals with one screamer from distance.
Youths Kilmacow 8 Mooncoin Celtic 3 A flattering scoreline with 4 goals from set pieces putting Kilmacow in the driving seat. An Alex Bailey hat trick was the bright note but a disappointing result for the lads.
3rd Division Mooncoin Celtic 1 St Paul’s 4 A fast start from a lively St Paul’s team saw them 4 up on the half hour mark with two screamers giving Bradley McNabb no chance, a blatant push at a corner for another and a defensive mix up costing us. A much improved second half with a mountain of chances saw a penalty penalty miss, a couple of very good saves by the Paul’s keeper before Jamie Moore pulled one back. Poor display overall.
We can’t leave the weekend pass without again mentioning the very kind sponsorship of three sets of jerseys for our girls teams by Watmór Construction and Civil Ltd.
Pictured is proud Grandad Declan Walsh with two grand daughters and U12 players Lexi and Molly Walsh. As a club, we have been very lucky to have Watmór Construction and Civil Ltd oversee the development of all major works completed on our new grounds to date.
We urge not only our members but all in Mooncoin and surrounding areas to contact Watmór Construction and Civil Ltd for any groundworks, big or small.
We nearly forgot to mention that last year Watmór Construction and Civil Ltd also sponsored all the new goalposts that are in use in Suir Crescent by all our teams, 8 in total and supplied by Goalpost Ireland of Co Waterford.
Beyond the incredible generosity shown to the club and everyone in Mooncoin Celtic is extremely grateful to the Walsh family.
A very good Piltown side who displayed incredible skills and technical ability came to Suir Crescent this afternoon to take on a new look side who are slowly finding their feet in what is sure to be a very competitive league.
Three first half goals had Piltown ahead at half time but the second half was a different story as the girls grew in to the game and could have notched one or two themselves. Piltown scored two good goals in the second half to grab the three points.
Development of this squad is ongoing but good displays from all today gives the coaches confidence going in to next week.
