Big well done to all 7 of our girls involved with Waterford Schoolgirls over the weekend in Gaynor Cup fixtures.
The U16s with our own Emily Blackmore, Aoibhe Rees and Ella Brennan involved unfortunately were beaten 2 nil.
Molly Murphy, Stephanie Phelan, and Áine Connery were part of the U14 squad who won 1 nil, also involved with this group are coaches Richard Long and Dee Travers.
Tomorrow sees Hannah Dobbyn heading to Cork with the U12 development squad for their first outing. Well done to all involved.
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.
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 .
