"Celtic crowned
champions in style"
Castleknock Celtic
4 Verona 0
This was indeed a remarkable
game. Celtic needed to get a result to give them
the league title that their hard work and dedication
deserved. They started nervously against a very physical
Verona side, and they had to rely on their keeper to
ensure that they remained on terms at half time.
The pep-talk at the break transformed the Celtic side.
They came out for the second half rejuvenated.
They won a corner after 4 mins, which was taken by Sean
Hoare, and Stephen Kenna struck a beauty into the roof
of the net. 1-0 5 mins later
it was Kevin Flanagan who delivered an incisive diagonal
ball which was rifled home from close range by Adam
Noonan. This was followed by Stephen Treadwell
winning the ball in the final third and setting up Ian
McSherry who headed home. 3-0
2 mins from time, John McGivern won the ball in the
middle of the Verona half, he took 3 players out of the
game with his touch, passed to Adam Noonan on the wing,
and he swung in the perfect cross for Sean Hoare to head
into the roof of the net. 4-0.
Adam Weafer was nominated the man of the match for
making sure that his side was level at half time, having
taken off some fine saves. This was a fabulous
team performance which was a fitting way to take the
league title. They now look forward to playing in the
14Major DDSL league next season. |
