First Round Victory (8/4/2006) Mooncoin had a clear cut victory in the first round of the minor A hurling championship, over Mullinavat. This was Mooncoins first game in the A championship after being victorious in the B championship last year. Mooncoin were ahead from the start and never relinquished their lead throughout. An early individual effort by Michael Grace showed Mooncoins intentions. An early goal by Daniel Purcell and another in the second half Richie Doyle secured victory for Mooncoin. Mullinavat had a resurgence in the second half but never looked like taking control. Fine performances were also given by Thomas 'Brook' Henebry who lorded proceedings at centre back along with PJ Rowe at mid field. The accurate free taking of Thomas Kearns was also important in securing Mooncoins victory.
