U12 boys lost 4-1 away to Stradbally in the quarter final of the cup this evening,

Stradbally were clinical with their chances in the first half and were 2 nil up at half time. They then scored an unstoppable goal which you just had to admire and applaud.

We scored a good goal next with Ethan Owens heading home from Robbie Sutton’s cross.

We had some momentum and pushed hard for the next goal but we got caught out at the back.

The scoreline of 4-1 did not reflect the effort the lads put in throughout. Best of luck to Stradbally in the semi-final.

We met League Champions Ballinroad in the much anticipated cup final. Mooncoin put Ballinroad under a lot of pressure in the first half and had enough chances to take the game. But it was Ballinroad who took a 1-0 lead into half time after a shot from distance took a wild deflection and spun in off the post.

2 sloppy early second half goals put the game well into Ballinroad’s favour. As Mooncoin pushed for a lifeline in the game it was Ballinroad who struck on the counter attack putting the game beyond us.

4-0 turned out to be the final score but not a true reflection on the game.
Congratulations to Ballinroad on an impressive league and cup double, showing they were the best team in the division all season.

The Mooncoin lads can hold their heads high and the future is bright for this great bunch.

A glorious morning to play football away to Bohs in the preliminary round of the Cup.

It was a fabulous knock out game that saw both sides have chances and both keepers denying goal scoring opportunities.

After 60 minutes it was goalless and 20 minutes of extra time commenced. We took an early advantage in the first period, Robbie played in Shane who dummied and created space to get his goal which he deserved.

The whole bench was used and all players kept going to secure the win and move on to the QF.

Special mention to the defenders, Canice, Naoise, Fintan, Charlie, and Will in goals who fought hard for our first clean sheet of the season, over 80 minutes!

Cup semi finals are a nervy affair and when its a visit to your near neighbours even more is at stake.

Thursdsy evening saw us take the field in Kildalton. The 1st half was an even affair with both sides wrestling for control.

We had the best of the play and restricted Piltown to a long ball game. We played some nice football and it payed dividends when Robbie finished from close range to see us in front .

The lead only lasted for a few minutes as Piltown equalised from a corner. We hit the front just before the break as some fantastic work by Robbie saw him loft a beautiful ball onto the head of Marti and we hit the break 2.1 up.

We had a strong wind at our backs for the second period and we pinned Piltown back for the majority of the half. A fantastic run by Aidan resulted in a right footed shot low to the net from a tight angle.

From here on in there was only one winner from here as Robbie added a second after a mistake in the Piltown defence , followed by an Aidan header. The match was reaching a conclusion when a fantastic run by Liam had him beating 3 players and hitting and hitting a rasper only to see it saved with Jimmy showing quick reflexes to strike from close range shooting high into the net.

A fantastic squad performance sending us through to next weeks final against the winners of Tramore & Ballyduff.

We are heading into our last game of the season with the double in sight with the league already captured.
Goals : Robbie x 2, Aidan x2, Marti, Jimmy.

Mom: Aidan who turned the game on its head and Jimmy with his all round attitude tonight and all season.

Special mentions to Marti, Robbie & Canice .
