Arnie Brady took over from Eddie O'Callaghan for this AUL Div2Sun game away to McKelvey Celtic in the Elastoplast Shield 3rd Round, as Eddie took a well-earned mid-term break.  Arnie was delighted to come away with a 3-1 away win to secure a quarter-final slot in the New Year.

Shane Murphy scored the first with a real beauty from 35 yards.  Adam O'Callaghan scored a brace, his first on 62 mins, followed by a penalty on 71 mins.  There were some serious question marks over the ref, who is said to have been "the biggest home town ref seen for many a season".  Adam had another goal disallowed for offside, as did Simon Fleming. 

Tim Duffy very disappointed with his AUL Div3 side's poor performance in their 2-0 defeat at home to Mellowes FC. See Stuey Bannon get clobbered click

10Ds put in a sterling performance, the best of the season, in taking all 3 points in their away match against Marino FC in Croydon Park.  Jordan Toland and Dave Kelly were Celtic's marksmen. 

11Premier put yet another team to the sword with a stellar performance in goal-scoring, defeating Clontarf 8-1 in Porterstown in the SFAI U-11 Menton-Seery Cup.  Man of the match was Keelan McAnerin, who scored a hat-trick. Other scorers were Klevin Kurpreka, Daniel Bell, Ryan Kearney-Moore and Gavin Boyne. While Celtic proved far too strong for their opposition, they still put on an exhibition is finishing, covering the full spectrum of scoring, chips, shots, dinks, lobs, etc. They will face a much tougher test in their final game in the SFAI on 11 December before they go nationwide. Up to this their opposition has been confined to the Eastern region. click
