U11E Cup Result
Mooncoin Celtic 1
Ballinroad 1
Mooncoin Celtic won 3-1 on penalties.
We had Ballinroad who previously beat us 5-0 visit for our cup quarter final and it was a match to remember full of excitement from start to finish.
We started off really well and the lads showed how much they really wanted to win with super defending from the back four of Aideen, Charlie, Corey and Patrick all making decisive tackles early on and with Cormac making a big double save early on to keep us level. Some great last ditch defending from Corey and Charlie kept us level and shortly after Cormac put a goal kick out to Kieran on the right and he played a super ball through for John joe who had a lot to do from where he was but took a great first touch and rifled the ball across the keeper into the bottom corner to give us a 1-0 lead.
Edmond and Thomas were dangerous on the breaks and created a couple of really good chances towards the end of the half. Another superb save from Cormac kept us 1-0 up half time.
Harry and Henry came off the bench with Harry in at left back and Henry on the wing and they both performed outstandingly and made a big difference to us. Ballinroad levelled the scoring with a counter attack that was finished very well.
We rallied back really well and got behind the ball well at the back to keep the game level. We came under a lot of pressure towards the end and got Ryan on to steady the midfield for us and he done well with a few important interceptions. What looked like being a certain goal for the visitors ended up with another super save from Cormac in the last few seconds that got us to extra time. It was all pressure with Aidan back on making a big difference for at the back. We took it to penalties and it was Edmond up first and after giving a superb performance followed it up with a brilliant penalty smashing it in off the crossbar. Jim who was practising all week came on to show practice makes perfect with a super penalty into the top corner to make it 2-1 Cormac then make a brilliant save and it was the man of the match himself that stepped up to take the decisive kick which he smashed home to seal a famous win for this wonderful group of players who have trained hard all year and got their just reward today with a superb win and now it’s on to the semi finals.

Tramore 7
A poor start with the concession of two early goals was quickly rectified with replies from Paudie and Harry and we went in level at the break. Tramore’s physicality came to the fore late in with 4 goals in the last 10 minutes. A somewhat flattering scoreline as the boys done really well for long periods of the game. Best of luck to Tramore in the final.

Piltown 1
A physical derby match was played out in sunny conditions on Sunday morning and Piltown were on the front foot from the off pulling level on the 20 minute mark before two quick goals had us 3-1 up at half time, Lexi, Anna and Briona all on the scoresheet. The second half was similar with very little given between the two sides. Late goals from Anna, Briona and Taylor sealed the girls passage to a semi final.

Carrick United 6
A dominant display throughout from Carrick United who didn’t give the girls a second on the ball from start to finish and fully deserved the three points on offer. Goals on the day from Sarah Walsh and Emily Blackmore. All is not lost however as a win in their last game will snatch a play off for the girls.

Carrick United were full value for the three points with a hungry display against a tired looking home side. It might have been different if Ryan’s effort had gone in instead of rattling the crossbar early on. Tyler was excellent throughout with many great saves. Big 👏 to Carrick United coach Barry Walsh who was quick to take up the sweeping brush afterwards and leave the away dressing room just as they found it. Top man.

All Ireland semi finalists came to Suir Crescent Thursday evening and our boys knew they had to up their game from Tuesdays defeat. A tight affair was played out between the two sides until an injury time winner from Villa, heartbreaking but a much improved performance.

Ballinroad 1
Mooncoin Celtic 3
Our u14 girls were on the road for their cup semi final, Ballinroad the opposition. We started strong and Briona opened the score with a fantastic free kick. After some resolute defending from Ballinroad, Lexi finally added a second before half time. The girls continued strong in the second half but this Ballinroad team never give up, and scored late on. Straight from the tip off though Anna R, Ciara and Sophie combined to set Lexi up for her second excellent finish of the day.
Thanks to the Ballinroad girls for their guard of honour before the game.
The dream of a double continues with a cup final this Monday 3rd June against Dungarvan in Tom Drohan park, Carrick at 2pm.

Ferrybank 5
A disappointing result unfortunately after last week’s heroics. The boys did start well but found themselves 3 down at half time as Ferrybank showed why they won the league. Second half saw an improvement in the lads but it wasn’t to be. Best of luck to Ferrybank in the final.

First game in a few weeks and a trip at any stage away to Ballinroad is always going to be tough. Ballinroad had this game won by half time but credit to the boys they kept going and pulled one back through Liam Joy.

A much better performance for a depleted side who were level at half time thanks to a Jamie Croke finish but Villa showed their class to pull away in the second half.

Our A squad travelled to Kilbarry with the hope of an upset but a couple of early goals saw Southend ahead at half time. Credit to this young side who kept battling and were rewarded with a very good goal through Kai and possibly could have had a couple more. Best of luck to Southend in the Cup.

Scoreless at half time with very little between the teams in this derby match. We sprung Ryan from the bench and he duly done the business to make it 6 games on the spin in which he has scored. Great three points secured.

Bohs 2
Mooncoin Celtic 2
Following a win over the same opposition the previous week, the boys were hopeful of another three points but this young Bohs side showed they meant business as they matched our boys all the way. James and Shane with two tidy finishes as a draw was a fair result as the lads extend their run to 5 without defeat.

Park Rangers 3
Mooncoin Celtic 2
A tough trip on a Wednesday evening unfortunately resulted in a narrow defeat against a decent Rangers team. Ella B and Molly Q got on the scoresheet but no points for the effort.

The girls went out to Faithlegg to face Park Rangers. Mooncoin got into their stride and had the better of the opening exchanges.
On 23 minutes, Mooncoin took the lead through an Ella Brennan strike. Just before halftime Park Rangers got an equaliser against the run of play to go in level at the break.
At the start of the second half, Park Rangers doubled their tally, but on 55 minutes, Molly Quinn levelled up the tie. Try as we could, we couldn’t get a third goal, and with about 10 minutes left, Park Rangers scored their third.
A great effort was given by all the girls.
Hopefully, we can reverse this result in the Cup as we are paired against Park Rangers, game to be played in Suir Cresent.
Full time Park Rangers 3 2 Mooncoin Celtic.

The second match against Bohs in a week for the u14s was on a lovely freshly cut pitch at the RSC. Mooncoin took the lead midway through the first half following a free kick by Cathal that was fed back to Shane in the box who took a touch to create space and curl it into the net. In the final minutes of the half, Bohs equalised from the right wing with a ball that just looped over Bradley’s head in to the far corner. Bohs came flying out of the traps in the 2nd half and scored a fabulous goal that left Bradley no chance to stop a well hit shot. The lads didn’t give up and a fine through ball by Dylan was latched on to by James who used his strength to keep the defenders at bay and hit a powerful shot that the keeper got a hand to but couldn’t keep out of the back of the net. Both teams had half chances to win it but in the end the draw was a fair result for both teams. Great effort and good football by all the lads on both teams tonight.

Another three points on the board tonight after a very tough and physical game from a determined Tramore outfit .

We got off to a flyer when Emily Blackmore took a long range shot that sailed to the top left corner on the 4 minute mark . The game flowed for the next 40 minutes, with both teams having very good passages of play . Eimear Quinn was superb in defence this evening and calmly came to our rescue when the need arose flanked by Niamh , Gracie, and Kate . Backed up as always by Abbie Hassett between the posts . They made things very difficult for Tramore to break down in the first half . We had chances before the break but didn’t capitalise on any of them . Sommer and Hannah linked up very well in the middle and sprayed plenty of ball for Ciara Ross and Ella to run onto .
Both teams went toe to toe in the second half and it was deadlock between the two teams approaching the half way mark when some wonderful passing saw us work the ball up the pitch from Gracie in defence to space in the middle , where Emily set Ciara Ross up for a superb finish from a very tight angle. Tramore reacted, and some sloppy defending from us allowed them back into the game. On the 78 minute, Emily Blackmore rattled the net for a second time when she converted a free kick . But within 5 minutes, Tramore again struck back and kept themselves in the game . Up stepped Sarah Walsh to slot home to give us some breathing space, and we saw the game out on a scoreline 4-2. Superb work girls

Villa 2 (AET)
Absolute heartbreak for this squad as two goals in the final moments of extra time saw Villa progress. A brilliant match which swung from end to end all the way through but no goals in normal time. Both sides had chances in extra time before Villa broke away and won it. Best of luck to Villa in the next round.

Mooncoin Celtic 1
A trip to league favourites was on the menu for the boys on Monday evening with the hope of extending their good run. A scrappy first goal saw Southend on top before an excellent finish from distance set the boys back but the second half saw a different approach with Southend defending in numbers. We pulled a goal back through Ryan but too little too late.

Bohs 3
A cracking game in Suir Crescent on Tuesday as Bohs visited Mooncoin u14s. We started quickly and after a couple of minutes Shane got his first goal of the season with the ball just crossing the line. After more pressure, Cathal scored from a free kick in to the corner of the net. Shane had a good chance to get his second, but put it wide. Undeterred he cooly scored the harder chance shortly after. We knew Bohs would come back at us in the 2nd half and they scored the next goal. Cathal scored a wonder free kick from around halfway which gave the keeper no chance. The game opened up and Bohs got 2 good goals to up the pressure. Cathal had the last word and hit a bullet shot to complete his hat trick with the final score 5-3.

Seaview Celtic 5

A last minute winner from Seaview was the way this side ended their season but they put up one hell of a fight throughout the 80 minutes in annestown. At one point they led 3-1 but Seaview dug deep and went through in the end. Goals on the night from Emmet with two and two from the hard working Marcos was not enough to see them through.
