U13b Boys: Mooncoin Celtic 6 – 5 Bohemians
A thriller of a match with a 4 goal hero in Conor W. saw the u13 team take their first win in the u13b league.
Things didn’t start so well and the boys found themselves 0-2 after 4 minutes, but this group of lads are very strong in character and this deficit was wiped out in 20 minutes of exciting play as Sean O’D and Ethan O. grabbed two fine goals to get Mooncoin back in the game.
Straight after half time the boys were well on it as Conor W got the quickest of hat track 3 goals in 6 minutes to make it a 5-2 score line. Then it was Bohs to up the game again as it went end to end 5-3 and then 5-4 with 2 fine free kicks.
The whole Mooncoin team worked hard from here on in, Conor sneaked another goal, 6-4 and Bohs kept pushing to make 6-5 and there was some fine saves and an excellent block from young Sam to see out the win.
Girls u17: Local derby vs Piltown
Today we played away to neighbours Piltown in a closely fought battle .
There was very little between these two teams . And the result ultimately came down to a single kick of the Ball .

Exchanges a plenty in the opening ten minutes with a lot of the play in the Piltown half . Ella Bailey and Ciara O Keeffe really made their pressence known , and Kate McGrath was a constant thorn in the side of Piltown players .
A free kick from just outside the box put Piltown ahead before the first water break ….. but that didn’t phase our girls and as the game resumed we began to press the ball forward .
5 minutes from half time we were awarded a penalty which Emily Blackmore slotted home to tie the game up again .
The second half started with great gusto and we seemed to be getting on top in periods of play .
Just before the water break , Piltown were awarded a free kick , that was initially saved but a scramble in the box saw Piltown go one up for the second time .
A couple of chances came and went in the second half with Grace O Toole very unlucky not get get herself in the score sheet .
The game finished up at 2-1

U16 Girls: Mooncoin Celtic 2 – 3 Carrick Utd
A very close encounter today in Suir Crescent as our u16 girls took on Carrick .
We got off to a flyer with a run through from Aoibhe Rees who recieved a beauty of a pass from Sommer Grant, and slotted the ball to the net. However a quick paced Carrick United evened the game up again before long .
Carrick piled the pressure on from the middle of the pitch, and our back four , Kate McGrath , Sophie Schaill , Eimear Quinn and Caoimhe Hartwell did very well to keep things at bay .
We got our noses ahead again when Niamh Reddy found Emily Blackmore with a pass, who finished to the net. There was plenty of comings and going’s for about ten mins before Carrick equalised for the second time.
Half time came and went with the game locked at 2-2 .
Mia Ponce De Leon did a stellar job between the sticks , and did what was required every time danger lurked . Molly Long and Luiseach O Donohue covered a lot of ground working on the wings.
The introduction of Katie Phelan , Ellie Corcoran and Orna Hennebery added some well needed freshness to the squad .
But Carrick were the team to come out on top today. Scoring their third goal with 20 mins to go .
Our girls really rallied for the final quarter and had a chance or two to equalise, alas today was not to be our day .

U13b: Kilmacow 4 – 4 Mooncoin Celtic
What a match to start off the u13b league, a local derby against Kilmacow and while Mooncoin started off well they found themselves 0-3 down after 20 minutes.
Then Finn scored a cracking free kick making it 1-3 at half time and the team rallied during the half time break and came out into the 2nd half full of gusto as the two goal deficit was pulled back to 3-3 with goals from Charlie and Sean.
A quick break out made it 3-4 to Kilmacow but the Mooncoin boys pulled it back again with a cross come shot from Luke to make it 4-4 , honours even and a shared point from a great match.
