AUL Div3 Sat :

LSL Div1D Sat :

AUL Div1 Sun :  Celtic just fail in their fightback to gain a place in the 4th round of the FAI Junior Cup.  They fell 3-0 behind, and 2 goals in the second half were just not enough. They must now concentrate on their league title challenge which had been put on the back burner while they pursued the cup competitions.  0-3.

NDSL 7s: Celtic went down 3-1 in a hugely entertaining game in Porterstown Park against Rivervalley Rangers.  The home side were floored in the first half by a 3 goal blitz as they failed to cope with the Rangers' poacher, who spent all the game sitting on the Celtic line - not a great education for a kid learning football!  Celtic did pull one back in the second period, and it was only a token reward for their huge effort in the game.  1-3.

NDSL 8As: Tony Rush reported a great victory for his trail-blazing warriors when they defeated a tough Howth Celtic side away in the seaside village.  Christian Sutton, Luke Finnegan, Ruairi Paton were Celtic's marksmen in a 3-0 away win.

NDSL 8B:

DDSL 8E1s: Celtic were unlucky to lose this match at home to Willows FC. They were losing 6-1 at halftime. They came out in the second half a transformed team, gunning for the opposition. Perhaps it was having the wind, but they were doing brilliantly. Time just ran out however on Tony Molloy's team, but not before scoring 5 goals in this half to Willows one. A cracking second half performance meant that Celtic deserved a draw, but unfortunately they lost 7-6. Brilliant team performance.

NDSL 10B:

NDSL 10C: Celtic took all 3 points in this league encounter with Rivervalley Rangers in Porterstown.  They put 5 past the visitors, with goals from Zuhdi Emara who hit the target twice, and Demi Dare getting the match ball for his hat-trick.  The game was notable for Celtic's excellent team work throughout and a strong defence ensured that Rivervalled breached the home defence just once.  The match was marred by some reckless tackles by the visitors, who received a number of yellow cards, and a red card for  the manager - rare occurrence in a coaching league. Sad but true. See more at http://briangavin.blogspot.com.  5-1

NDSL 10E:

NDSL 11Prem:

NDSL 11C: This was a stroll for Celtic as they put in 6 without reply against Willows FC.  Oran O'Donoghue, Anthony Healy, Oisin Zambra, Jordan Toland, Matt Doyle, and Gary McCable were all  on the scoresheet, while  man of the match award went to Colum McGovern for his strong defensive performance.

DDSL 11D:

NDSL 11E: John O'Leary is depending heavily on Paul  Lynch, who yet again was in ace-striking form.  He was joined this week by Luke Doyle, who outdid Paul's hat-trick by scoring 4. Definitely two  great striking performances, as Celtic defeated Baldoyle 7-3 away.  7-3

DDSL 12Major: Celtic consolidated their position as table toppers when they put 6 past the Bohemians who were no match for the home side. Ryan Kearney Moore was again unstoppable with another hat-trick.  Tom Fogarty was again on the scoresheet, which is unusual for him. He usually contributes a vital strike per season, and reverts to creating thereafter.  Gareth Ruane and Steve O'Reilly completed the scoring, which leaves Celtic on top with Christmas approaching.  It is still a long way off the end of the season, which is when it counts.  Promotion to  the Premier division is still very much their target for this season, which is their first in the DDSL.  6-0.

NDSL 12Prem: Brian Kennedy is very proud of his squad, which is the only NDSL team to have made it into the 4th round of the SFAI Cup. They defeated St Itas 3-0 at home in Porterstown. 3-0

NDSL 12B:

NDSL 12C: Albert Fahy was full of praise for his team as they went down 3-0 at  home to Portrane Athletic.  They deserved a better result for their commitment and skill which they showed in abundance. 

NDSL 12D: Superb bounce back by John Byrne's crew with a convincing 4-0 away win v Navan Road Utd.  click  4-0

NDSL 13Prem:  End of the SFAI road for Celtic as they lose their advantage in Dundalk. click

DDSL 13A :  Celtic came back from a 2-1 deficit to edge out Kilnamanagh in Porterstown.  Stephen Kenna had put Celtic ahead, but a terrific free kick and a second had turned the tables.  But Sean Hoare's corner kicks led to Celtic earning all 3 points, when Stephen Kenna and Stephen Treadwell struck from close range. 3-2. click

NDSL 13A : 2-0 reverse for John Roe's troops at home to league leaders Portmarnock.  click

NDSL 13D:

NDSL 14Premier:  Celtic went down by the narrowest of margins at home to Swords Rovers in Porterstown.

NDSL 14B: Sean O'Donnchu's side showed their mettle in this very tight contest in Porterstown.  They went behind twice, but managed to get back on terms on both occasions with goals from Eoin Haughton and Sean Clarke.  Celtic almost snatched it in the dying minutes.  2-2.

NDSL 14C:

DDSL 15B:  This was a strange game.  Celtic led 4-2 with 10 mins remaining at home to Hillview in Porterstown.  Keith McDarby had helped himself to a brace, with Patrick Waters and Paul McGrath getting the other 2.  But then a Hillview parent gets involved in verbals with the ref and is  sent to the sinbin.  Not happy with that, he decides to get involved further with the ref, who then abandons the game because the guy would not leave the park. Celtic must now await the outcome of the league's consideration of the matter as regards the points being awarded to the home side.  4-2. 

DDSL 15B1: Celtic went on a scoring spree against Leixlip Utd in this league game in Porterstown.  They raced into a 5-0 lead by half-time, at which stage the game was undoubtedly over as a contest.  They were playing exhibition football, with fluent passing moves, which yielded five goals.  They rang the changes in the second half and still managed to add a further 4 goals. On the mark for Celtic were Vadim, who got a fully-deserved hat-trick, giving a virtuoso in all the fundamentals of a striker,  chasing every cause, no matter how slim. His commitment is an example to any player.  Gerry Troy hit a double, while Dave Cummins registered yet another goal in what is proving to be a very successful season for him in that department.  Amin ventured up front after putting in a superb performance in the  middle of the defence. He was  rewarded with a goal.  Paul Conway and Denis Barmini were Celtic's other marksmen on the day. 9-0.

NDSL 15B: 1-1 draw for Celtic at home to Grangewoodbine.  It was 0-0 at half time, but Simon Byrne's strike was enough for Celtic to earn a share of the points.  1-1.

DDSL 16A:

DDSL 16A1: 

DDSL 18Prem:  Peter Hoey's team continues with its successful run in their first year in the DDSL U-18s league.  They overcame a plucky Dartry Celtic 3-0 at home in Porterstown.  3-0
