NDSL 11Prem: There were many notable performances in this league game with Maynooth Town.  The 2 teams were very evenly matched throughout, but 2 individual strikes from Donal Timoney, ala Jimmy Greaves, soccer icon of the '60s proved the difference in the end.  He wove his magic for his goals, but he was ably assisted in delivering this result by Jamie Traynor, and Mark Corry who returned after  a 5 week absence to control the midfield once again.  James Henry was also very special in goal.  2-1.

DDSL 12Major: Celtic had suffered a reverse in their most recent league game, but they bounced back with a heavy defeat of Tolka Rovers at home.  Celtic looked comfortable from the outset, going close on numerous occasions. They actually hit the target after a couple of minutes when Mark Grant ushered the ball into the net from the 6 yard area. He had created the chance himself after he had skint the full back and put in a beautiful cross. When the ball returned across the goal, he was on hand to make it 1-0.  Joseph Lennon Maher hit Celtic's second, which left the home side 2-0 to the good at half time.  The chances were numerous but the Celtic attack had left their shooting boots at home.  The second half was more of the same.  But this time they took more of their chances, with Klevis Kurpreka adding to the score.  Mark Grant was again on the money with his second, while Tom Fogarty and Ryan Smith completed the scoring.

This was undoubtedly a satisfactory result, with noteworthy performances being put in by Conor Stephenson and Patrick Rocca, both of whom are always looking to deliver creative passes.  Celtic are still not the Rolls Royce they were, but they are gradually getting into gear for their assault on the league and cup trophies.  click for gallery, and click for team pic
