15Bs delivered a real sucker punch to the visiting Drumcondra side.  The league had offered Celtic a 6-point fixture, presumably to suit the Drums fixture programme, and Bertie's old club were keen to save themselves a second meeting when they could collect a handy 6 points in one shot.  But Sean Dunne's side had other ideas, and forgot to read the Drums script.  Colm Dunne and Craig Dunne and Dave Kelly got the Celtic goals in a 4-1 win, which considerably improves their position in the top zone of the table.

DDSL 18Premier took 3 points from their fixture against 2nd-placed Lourdes Celtic, and moves Celtic strongly into contention for the runners-up spot.  Ballybrack look likely league winners.  Philip Cooney was man of the match, and scored Celtic's first, while Rory Fagan got the second.  The sides had been level at half time.

Celtic's Leinster Senior League Premier Sat side earned their place in the final after their 1-0 away win over Templeogue Utd.  Gary Deveney got Celtic's goal in the 7th minute, a lead they held to the end.  They now will play in the Lummy O'Reilly Cup Final.

Eddie O'Callaghan's AUL Div2 Sun side were robbed by a very biassed ref in St Annes Park against Donnycarney.  Celtic finished the game 2-2, but went down 4-2 on penalties, after they had won the previous round on penalties against Booth Road Celtic.  Football can be a very cruel game, and very unfair.  But this is a resilient bunch of lads, though very young, and they will bounce back. We wish them well next Friday in the semi-final of the Elastoplast Shield.
