AUL Div1 Sun :  Despite having a reduced squad, Celtic fought their way into the quarter final of the AUL Cup with a 4-2 penalty shoot-out victory away to Ayrfield Utd, current leaders of the Premier C division.  Celtic took an early lead through Steve O'Callaghan, and they should have doubled their lead when they were awarded a penalty, but Weah t'Uay hit straight at the keeper.  But they surrendered their lead just before half time.  1-1 half-time.

Ayrfield hit the front after the re-start, but it was Celtic's turn to equalise before the end through Andy Weldon.  2-2 at full time.  There was no breakthrough in extra-time, and so the dreaded shoot-out ensued.  Celtic keeper saved Ayrfield's first and fourth penalties, while Celtic converted all of theirs.  4-2 win on penalties, and a place in the quarter final.

NDSL 11Prem: A brilliant strike from Glen Murphy, which broke his goal drought, was a highlight of Celtic's game against a plucky Clontarf side in Porterstown.  Though Celtic ran out 5-1 winners, the game had been a lot closer than that scoreline suggests.  Donal Timoney and Gavin O'Reilly had given Celtic a 2-1 lead midway through the second half.  Late on, man of the match, Donal Timoney, and Jamie Traynor put Celtic 4-1 ahead, before Glen weighed in with his superb strike.  Fergus Kavanagh put in a very impressive performance at the back for Celtic.  5-1

NDSL 11C: Fine win for Conor O'Neill's  team as they defeated Drumcondra 4-1 away to stay on top of the league. Scorers for Celtic were Mathew Doyle and Gary McCabe, both of whom hit a double. Castleknock started off strong and scored early on thanks to Mathew Doyle, and then backed off to allow Drumcondra to equalise.  Gary McCabe scored two in quick succession early in the second half followed by Mathew's second to finish it off.  4-1

DDSL 12Major: A magnificent volley from Conor Stephenson kept Celtic in a strong position in their quest for promotion to the 13 Premier division of the DDSL.  Drogheda had put up stiff opposition and probably deserved their draw in the end.  1-1

NDSL 12Prem: Ronan McCabe's goal gave Celtic a share of the points over Clontarf in Porterstown. 1-1.

NDSL 12C: Keelan McAnerin's goal proved too little in the end as Clonee Utd took all 3 points in Porterstown.  Celtic had gone so close to a share of the points when Clonee landed the killer blow late on against John Hayes's side which had reduced numbers to select from this weekend.
