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.
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.
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.
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.
16 fallers this weekend and only 20 remain heading in to Week 7. Next weekend will see a very tricky set of fixtures for the remainder of entries.
Best of luck to all in the race for €1000
