Action packed evening in Suir Crescent

An action packed evening in Suir Crescent with Mooncoin Celtic academy taking on Piltown in a mini blitz.

Plenty of goals, plenty of tackles and plenty of fun was had. Big thanks to all parents for supporting the boys and also thanks to Richie Connolly and his charges for coming down and we look forward to the return games up in Piltown.

U12b Boys: Mooncoin Celtic 1 – 1 Stradbally

12 weeks after our last competitive match we faced a tough Stradbally team in sunny Suir Crescent. Naturally the lads were a little rusty but went in at half time nil nil.

Change of formation with Bradley helping Ethan in the second half resulted in a goal after ten mins.

A good one two from a throw to Cathal led to a great cross from Sam and Ethan finished with a deadly volley in the six yard box. Stradbally came back strong and a number of excellent saves from Will kept us ahead.

Stradbally finally got their equaliser from a low shot in the box. Last 15 minutes were end to end and the draw was a fair result.

Well done lads, great to be back playing football again.

Schoolboys U12 Waterford Development Squad and Emerging Talent

What a week for Ethan Owens, a MCFC U12 player, as he spent some time of his mid-term break participating in the FAI Emerging Talent programme along with players from across Waterford, Kilkenny, South Tipp and WWEC leagues.

Then on Sunday he had a great performance against Kilkenny in an U12 Waterford development squad friendly game. This is a great achievement for Ethan and fair dues for all the hard work he’s put in over the last few years.

U15c Boys: Mooncoin Celtic register a win out in Faithlegg.

We visited a windy Park Rangers for gameweek 7.

The first quarter was an even affair with both teams finding their feet. We hit the front with a clever finish by Robbie which was the first of a first half hat trick.

Further goals from Canice and a fantastic solo effort from Marti had us 5.0 up at the break. We faced the wind in the second half but the lads kept going and were soon rewarded with a strike from Dani.

Billy soon added a fantastic long range effort which is becoming a regular occurance. Further strikes from Anil and Aidan saw us out comfortable winners with the defence also adding to their clean sheet tally.

Another great squad performance from this bunch which has them all improving week on week.

Goals Robbie x 3. Marti,Dani , Canice, Billy, Anil & Aidan.


Hard to pick anyone out today but special mentions for Robbie, Canice and entire defence.
