WSFL Under 16c League: Bohemians 0 vs Mooncoin Celtic 9

Posted on by

Superb result for the team today without really coming out of 2nd gear. Stephen Foran and Sam Hartwell gave the Bohs defence a hard time all day with both scoring a hatrick each in both halves of the game. Stephen with some lovely finishes coming off the wing and Sam scoring a lovely flick on header to stand out. No under 16 match is complete without an absolute screamer from Lee Freyne and Lee also added a second today… Adam Conway was arguing with his luck after several chances went amiss however pure gut seen him slot home a lovely goal today to complete the 9… Jonah O’Toole lead us from the back in goal with a solid performance… a strong and progresssive back line of Alex Bailey, Tom Conway, Conor Dermody and Denis Kinsella and without a doubt Denis’s best game this season.. central midfield engines of Sean Lennon and Liam Hogan played a huge part today. Ciara O’Keeffe, Cian O’Sullivan, Matthew Morahan and Daniel Roberts all came off the bench and gave a great account of themselves… Man of the Match goes to Liam Hogan who didn’t stop for a breath… a great win which sets up a mouth watering league decider next Saturday against neighbours Piltown in Ashgrove at 3.30pm…. Well done all great result.

Academy Summer

Posted on by

Our younger group of boys and girls in academy finished up for the summer this evening with a nice casual game of ball and most importantly a nice casual ice cream or slushie. We hope to see all the kids back in September and hopefully some in our summer camp in August. Big thanks to all our coaches and helpers.

U13 league: DLS 5 Mooncoin 2

Posted on by

A very flattering scoreline to our hosts in what was a great advertisement for schoolboy football. We totally dominated the first 20 mins but couldn’t find a way past a resolute dls defence the homeside caught us with two sucker punches before halftime and somehow we went into the break behind. We were caught napping again early in the 2nd half to go 3-0 down cue the fightback we got the score back to 3-2 with 2 super goals from Liam Mackey and Ethan Owens and should have added a few more but for the last ditch defending from a very good dls back line. Dls caught us on the break twice in the dying minutes to make it 5-2 a scoreline which didn’t do our gangs footballing performance justice. Our star of the match tonight has to be shared with Liam Mackey and Ethan Owens.

Euro 2020 Prediction Competition

Posted on by

Haven’t said much on the Euro prediction competition, but with the Round of 16 underway and the Netherlands out it might be interesting to see what had been submitted via the entries in the competition.

For Semi-Finalists we have the following

###### Semi Finalist

France named as Euro Semi-Finalist 39 times

Portugal named as Euro Semi-Finalist 21 times

Italy named as Euro Semi-Finalist 20 times

Belgium named as Euro Semi-Finalist 20 times

Germany named as Euro Semi-Finalist 18 times

England named as Euro Semi-Finalist 18 times

Spain named as Euro Semi-Finalist 9 times

Netherlands named as Euro Semi-Finalist 8 times

Denmark named as Euro Semi-Finalist 2 times

Switzerland named as Euro Semi-Finalist 1 times

So some people are going to miss out on the Netherlands, and with Belgium playing Portugal and England playing Germany there’s going to be a good few to miss out on those points too.

###### Winners

France named as Euro winners 22 times

Germany named as Euro winners 6 times

Italy named as Euro winners 4 times

Portugal named as Euro winners 3 times

England named as Euro winners 2 times

Spain named as Euro winners 1 times

Belgium named as Euro winners 1 times

According to our prediction competition France are the clear favourites, with Germany far behind.

###### Number of Goals

The most interesting item was the number of goals, it’s been a goal fest so far and the prediction league in general would have predicted

Number of Goals (mean) at Euro 2020 = 117

So far there’s 103 goals and with another 11 matches still to play it’s going to be much higher than the 117 mark.

Best of luck to all players in with a chance of the win.

WSFL Under 16c League: Mooncoin Celtic 5 vs Tramore C 2

Posted on by

Another cracker served up in Ashgrove. Tramore came to Mooncoin today and gave us a real test.. they had most of the play early and we were lucky to turn it around to go 1-0 up after a well worked goal for Stephen Foran to tap in.. Tramore stepped up again and equalised to bring to 1-1 at half time.. An early second half penalty for Tramore got them 2-1 up and it looked like it wasn’t going to be our day.. Tramore kept the momentum and were knocking on the door.. the last 15 mins we started to get back up a gear and a great finish by Lee Freyne made it 2-2… We turned the game in the last 5 mins with a great header by Tom Conway to give us the lead.. Lee added his second after great work by Alex Bailey and a brilliant chip from Stephen Foran made it 5-2.. Jonah O’Toole in goal fronted by Ciara O’Keeffe, Denis Kinsella, Tom Conway and Alex Bailey, Conor Dermody came in the second half. We pushed hard with Adam Conway, Sean Lennon on the wings and Liam Hogan steadying the ship. Sam Hartwell battled really hard upfront. Daniel Robert’s, Cian O’Sullivan and Matthew Morahan made up the squad… man of the Match today was Captain Lee Freyne who lifted the team when we needed it.. well done all

Under 13 C league: Bohs 3 Mooncoin 3

Posted on by

Both teams came into this one with 2 wins from 2 a tough game was expected in warm conditions in the rsc and what a game it turned out to be. We were 3-1 up at one stage of the game with goals from Sean, Emmet and Daniel but it was end to end stuff all game and to be fair to bohs they never gave up and clawed there way back into the game with their speedy wingers in flying form. A draw would have been probably a fair result and we would have taken especially with several key players missing through injury but emmet Cusack score a perfectly legitimate goal with a min left on the clock when pounced inside the box the ball was at least a foot over the line only for play to be waved on amazingly. Our best player tonight was Daniel ponce de Leon who was everywhere for the 60 mins.
