Perfect morning in Suir Crescent to play Bohs u12s. Bohs started strongly and went 1-0 up in the first 5 minutes. Great play between Robbie and Ethan for the equaliser shortly after.
The game settled for the next quarter of an hour with both sides having chances. Shane got a goal, the ref must have had VAR on his watch as it just crossed the line. Second half and Fintan had a goal chalked off for offside when a teammate tapped it in as it was rolling over the line.
A great through ball from Fionn released Ethan and he calmly slotted home his second goal. Bradley came on up front in the second half and showed his composure to score and make the game 4-1.
Bohs didn’t give up and they got 2 goals back with a good shot and a scrambled goal from a corner.
Mooncoin defence were all determined to see out the last few minutes and it finished 4-3 in our favour.
Park Rangers Red got off to a flyer in Suir Crescent and were 2-0 up inside the first 5 minutes. They extended their lead to 3 before Mooncoin Celtic pulled one back just before half time.
Mooncoin really raised their game in the second half and brought the game back to 3-3. The Park Rangers keeper performed heroics in goal and they pulled ahead again but Mooncoin levelled it at 4-4 for a share of the spoils. Leah Twomey (2), Lexi Walsh and Aine O’Sullivan grabbed the goals for Mooncoin.
On a lovely fresh Sunday afternoon Mooncoin u16s were at home to Ballyduff.
After a nervous start from our girls Ella Brennan made a run from a wide position and with a tight angle fired across the keeper, off the post and into the back of the net to open the scoring for Mooncoin.
We created a number of chances but for the first 20 minutes took this time to settle and then we got into the groove…with another 2 goals from Ella Brennan to complete her hatrick and a hatrick from Emily Blackmore.
Sommer Grant also got on the score sheet after her 3 assists.
Player of the match was Luiseach O’Donohue who ran and battled for the full 80 minutes and was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet herself. Ballyduff got on the score sheet with a late consolation.
Every player on the team today played outstanding and as always work ethic and determination prevailed. Another 3 points in the bag and top of the table to see out the end of the year. Merry Xmas!
Game week 4 saw us visit Ballyduff . Hard day for football with a strong cross wind and a heavy pitch resulting in a battle for the upperhand for the first half.
A goal a few mins before half time sent us 1 up at the break. We took control of the second half and we were quite comfortable in the end. Great performances by all , special mentions for Liam, Canice, Aidan & Anil. MoM Robbie Doherty with 4 goals today
Proudly sponsored by Trevor Dunphy tiling . For all your tiling needs .
Today’s home fixture saw us Host Tramore in another 7 goal thriller .
Mooncoin were quick off the mark today and slotted home to go one nil up after three minutes , when a superb run up the wing from Grace O Toole saw her get the cross ball to the always lurking Emily Blackmore who finished to the net .
Tramore tried to get themselves into the game but had our midfield of Sommer Grant , Ciara Corcoran and Casey Moore to contain with , who were making nothing easy for the opposition today . On the quarter hour mark when it looked like Tramore were on the attack , Ella Bailey made a superb clearance up field , for the ball to fall to the feet of Emily Blackmore , who moved forward and slotted home our second of the day .
Tramore were straight on the attack but were met by a defiant Ciara O Keeffe who was closely backed by Cayla Dunphy , who cut out any imminent threat .
Tramore had a chance of a goal on the twenty minute mark , which was foiled by our Lady between the sticks Mia Ponce De leon .
Thirty minutes in and a one two exchange between Sommer Grant and Emily allowed Emily to get a long range shot away that sailed to the back of the net .
Tramore clawed back just before the break when a free kick saw the net from a home player from a mixup in the box .
Ciara Corcoran made a superb run after winning the ball in the midfield and scored her first Mooncoin Goal
4-1 half time
The second half started in a flurry with some great passages of play between both sides.
Tramore scoring a second on the 50 minute mark.
We lost our shape a little in the middle which allowed Tramore to press and managed to grab a third goal on the 70 minute mark .
This woke our ladies up who were determined not to leave this game slip through their fingers , and credit to them , dug deep and saw the game out
An early morning visit to Faithlegg to play league leaders park rangers in the bitter cold seen us lose to a late goal in a game which had draw Written all over it.
Despite being 5 players shy we gave a good as we got and really didn’t deserve to lose.
Some great performances all around the pitch Jake in goal Eoghan in defence Daniel in midfield and our goalie Jack gave a great display up front as we were missing 3 of our 4 front players for this game every player gave their all today in a real battle but Anil was our top performer against a very strong homeside.
