Eddie O'Callaghan's AUL Div 2 put in a stunning performance away to Dunsink in the Elastoplast Shield in this quarter final tie.  The sides were level at half time, but one sensed that this super fit Celtic team would eventually overcome.  And so it proved.  After the resumption after the break, Adam O'Callaghan, who must be vying for the golden boot award, hit the first of Celtic's 3 goals with a cleverly hit free kick.  He hit his second with a beautiful half-volley.  And it was Colm Brady, who is making a habit of venturing forward into the final third, who hit the third.  We now move forward to the semis, and silverware again beckons.

AUL Div 3 Sun have superb win over local rivals, Tyrellstown.  Tim Duffy and Steve McLoughlin were not surprisingly delighted with their team's performance.  They have come up through the ranks of the schoolboys and are enjoying their first year in the top flight.  Stuey Bannon was on fire in this local derby, as he hit a hat-trick.  Ray Kelly struck with a bullet header to complete the scoring.  Man of the match was a difficult choice as the team had performed very well, but Emmet McDonald probably shaded it.

U-12E hit 5 past Ratoath Harps in Laurel Lodge blitz.  The local Co Meath side had come with high hopes against Willie O'Gorman's troops, but they were sunk by a hat-trick from Raheel Tabascon, Hisham Madgelin, and an o.g.  Willie and his assistant Ciaran Black were over the moon with the effort of their team who had shown great character to put in a marvellous performance.

U-13D continued their fabulous run when they hit 8 past the hapless Swords Celtic team.  Castleknock, with Brendan Smith at the helm, have been putting a great sequence of results together in recent times.  They must be fancying themselves for a crack at the top spots at the end of the season.  Fionn Rogers was again on the mark as he hit a hat-trick.  Niall Luckie used his skills not his luck as he helped himself to a brace.  Gavin Henry, Graham Dunne, and Mark McIlkenny completed the scoring.  They are looking forward to their visit to Glasgow in May for their weekend away. Given their effort in recent times, they certainly deserve it.

U-14Premier went down 3-1 in the quarter final of the Pat McCartan Cup.  Callum Zambra was Celtic's marksman.

U-14As were worthy winners away to Lusk Utd when Paul Conway was on the mark.  He raced into the 6 yard area to send a bullet header to the back of the net from Sean Hanlon's well-taken corner.

DDSL U-18Premier were stunned by an amazing comeback by high-flyers Ballybrack Boys in Porterstown.  Celtic had gone into a 3-0 lead and looked like they were going to upset the odds.  Though Celtic had taken a point from Ballybrack earlier in the season, form since then suggested this would be a difficult encounter for Celtic.  Early on, it appeared Peter Finn's hopes of taking 4 of the 6 points available from these two fixtures would be realised. But in fairness, Ballybrack came back like troopers and earned the 3 points coming out on top by the odd goal in 7.  Philip Germaine and a brace from Rory Fagan left Celtic just short of the mark.
