Our u15s will look to get in on the silverware by trying to beat league winners St Paul’s this evening in their eagerly awaited semi final this evening.
Game kicks off at 6.45 in St Paul’s and support will be crucial as they aim for a cup final appearance this Saturday.

Cup Champions!! Final score 3-2! Unbelievable scenes, losing 2-0 to come back and win it with virtually the last kick of the game! ⚽️⚽️⚽️

A rip-roaring derby against Kilmacow was on offer in glorious conditions in Tramore yesterday as our u12 squad under Kevin Kennedy and Pat Walsh went for cup glory and boy did they do it the hard way.
They started well,creating chances and going close through Jamie Croke but somehow found themselves 2-0 down and playing well. A scramble after a free kick resulted in Ben Brennan pulling a goal back. Second half started with the lads on top again and a Robbie Doherty equalizer set up a grand stand finish.
And a grandstand finish we got,with a winner from Robbie Doherty clinching the cup for this hard working squad.
Captain Canice Kinsella lifted the cup to great cheers from the large support present.
Richly deserved rewards for both players and coaches,who stuck to their task all season training in all conditions in Ashgrove even when they had no games coming up. Well done boys and coaches.

Great evening for it ⚽️ Best of luck to all the players and managers ⚽️

Tuesday:
U12 Cup Final:
Venue: Tramore
Kick off: 7pm
Mooncoin Celtic v Kilmacow
This squad will aim to stop Kilmacow winning a third schoolboy cup this season and have been busy preparing under the watchful eye of Kevin Kennedy and Pat Walsh over the last few weeks. After toppling Stradbally in the semi final the confidence will be high going into the final. The two league meetings between the clubs yielded a win each so Tuesdays meeting promises to be a very tight affair.
We are asking as many as possible to get yourselves out to Tramore on Tuesday evening to support the lads in their quest for silverware.

Wednesday:
U15 cup semi final
Away to St Paul’s, kick off 6.45
After a few weeks of a break due to exams, this eagerly awaited semi final against the league champions will be a very close game as there was very little between both clubs in the clashes during the season. Again, support for this one would be most grateful as they aim to reach the cup final.

We ask all members to share this post and get a big crowd in Tramore on Tuesday and St Paul’s on Wednesday to support our young teams who have put in huge efforts to get the rewards they deserve.

Our u11 boys travelled to the complex in Kilmacow for the Maria Grace memorial tournament and competed in two groups with Kilmacow, Portlaw and Bohs. Plenty of goals and some excellent football played by all four clubs throughout. A special mention to the u9s who togged out with Robbie Sutton, Sam Ponce de Leon and the talented Ethan Owens showing why they all have a big future. Well done to all and thanks to John and Barry Hearne for looking after the teams this morning.
Compliments must be paid to Kilmacow Fc for the running of the tournament this morning before a large crowd.

A disappointing result for the girls after looking good for victory with 15 minutes remaining. Cappoquin were the better side in the first half and deservedly led 1-0 before Caoimhe Hartwell scrambled home an equalizer. A stirring talk at half time by the coaches saw a revitalized home team take the game to Cappoquin and an Emily Blackmore strike put them 2-1 up. Kayleigh Smith had a good chance to extend the lead but missed the target after some great work. With the girls retreating under pressure from Cappoquin the worst was feared and Cappoquin capitalized on it with an equalizer and a quick third goal to put themselves ahead within two minutes. A fourth goal on the break was the sickening blow but again the girls dusted themselves down and another Emily goal set up a grandstand finish but the clock ticked away without the equalizer coming.
Cappoquin deservedly shaded this cup tie and the disappointment among the girls afterwards shows how far they’ve come since the start of the season. Best of luck to Cappoquin in the next round and big thanks to referee Noel Lavery for his constant encouragement for both sides throughout.

As mentioned previously in the Lismore report, the girls are learning and did they give Bohs a scare. Their best performance of the season was put in and confidence was up when they went in 0-0 at half time. We also mentioned experience in the previous reports and Bohs showed their experience by grinding out the result. But again, these girls played the game full of heart and enthusiasm and as always a smile afterwards.
Very proud coaches after playing the top 3 in just 7 days, a wee bit of confidence going into the cup tie against Cappoquin this Sunday.

The scoreline suggests a riot, and the league leaders did put up a decent score but the first twenty minutes were very tight until a lucky break caught the girls off guard. With our tiring legs and an impressive home team coming at them, the goals flowed in the 2nd half but our girls can be proud of themselves for sticking at it and playing the game with a smile on their face regardless. Tough scoreline to take but the girls are learning as they gather experience in their first ever season playing soccer, something we must not forget.

As usual, a gutsy display from the girls who displayed huge heart in putting it up to a strong Carrick outfit who found it hard to break the girls down. Ciara O’Keeffe was a thorn in Carrick’s side throughout but their experience came through.
A very sporting and nice touch by Carrick when Ciara O’Keeffe was presented with the player of the match trophy afterwards.

Sunday:
U14 girls cup home to Cappoquin, kick off 11am
A must see for anyone looking for an exciting game and entertainment. With very little between these teams in the league, our girls will be going on the front foot against the girls from West Waterford and try to advance to face Tramore.
A cup thriller on the cards,please get down to Ashgrove to show your support.
U11 blitz in Kilmacow:
The annual Maria Grace memorial blitz hosted by Kilmacow will be on this Sunday kicking off at 9.45.
We will have two teams playing and John Hearne and his fellow coaches will be hoping to see the hard work put in all season pay off. A big thanks to Kilmacow for the invite.
