We travelled to waterford crystal last Saturday in search of our first league points. We dominated the first half with Finbar Purcell putting us in front after some great link up play with Robbie Doherty on the left. Second half followed the same pattern and when Finbarr released Jamie Crokehe made no mistake to put us 2 up . Crystal came at us after that and 2 lucky goals turned 3 points into 1 very quickly. Regardless of points dropped,upward curve continuing for this bunch . Some great performances on the day, with Man of the match Finbarr Purcell.

A first half of missed chance after missed chance after missed chance, with Ian and Neville Synnott and Mick Dwyer all guilty of misses. Dunmore capitalised on this and they went down and scored with the only chance they had in first half.
Second half had only just started when Ian Synnott levelled with a header from a Shane Twomeys cross. A few fine saves from the returning Andrew Chucky Norris helped keep Mooncoin in the game and then Tommy Nolan put us 2-1 up with a good finish after good work from Ian Synnott. Dunmore then equalised after we were caught ball watching. We spurned another 3 chances when it was easier to score with Gerry Walsh, Ian Synnott and Shane Twomey all guilty. We’ll take a point from a tricky venue. Man of the match was Shane Twomey who bombed up and down the wing all morning.

A windy Alaska Park awaited our youths this afternoon and they were quick to adjust to the conditions playing some lovely football in the first half and opening up Kilmac time after time and goals from Evan Cleary and Rizgar had them 2 up at half time.
A slow start to the second half saw Kilmac come into the game more and they pulled a goal back before Evan Cleary slotted home a penalty after Ryan Carroll drew a penalty from a defender after a great run.
Changes were made and chances still kept coming but wasteful finishing would come back to haunt them with Kilmac grabbing two goals in the final five minutes to grab a point. An entertaining game with plenty of good football played. Stand out player today was Jay Langford, reliable as ever.

Our U11 Green squad travelled to De la Salle today and played out two high scoring games against top class opposition.

Our u11 Blue squad entertained Villa in Ashgrove this morning and again a glut of goals from both clubs with young Tommy O’Connor netting his first hat trick in one of the games.

Shared points today in a game we absolutely left behind us. We were at most points the stronger team. We started off slow albeit we made some early chances that wouldn’t go our way. Missing a few players today didn’t help and didn’t give us a chance to change things. We went 2-0 up with two goal direct from corners by Lee Freyne. Bohs got one back just before half time. 2-1 at the break. Bohs equalized almost straight away. A great finish by Adam Conway took us to 3-2 and another by Adam made it 4-2 with 5 mins to go. We were reduced to 10 men and bohs gained momentum. Bohs got two back to draw the game. Jonah O’Toole in goal. Alex Bailey and Conor Dermody at Centre back Denis Kinsella and Ciara O’Keeffe were busy and did well all game. Diego Ibanez, Lee and Mikey Cronin made up a three man midfield. Adam was impressive on the right. Sam Hartwell made some great runs upfront. Matthew Morahan came on late in the second half. Man of the match today for a brilliant performance was Sean Lennon. A learning curb for the players today but we will bounce back.
