AUL Div1 Sun : Eddie O'Callaghan's team was smelling of roses after this 2-0 away win over Booth Road Celtic in the Nivea Cup.  Weah t'Uway gave Celtic a 1-0 lead at half time.  Shane Murphy got his annual goal to ensure safe passage into the next round. Celtic were glad to make it through, especially as they have not yet got their game up to their usual high standards.  2-0

AUL Div3 Sun (T Duffy/P Hoey) : Celtic came from 1-0 down with goals from Ray Kelly and a penalty from Chris Hoey to earn the points in this league encounter against Sporting Athletic in Porterstown.   2-1 

NDSL 7A (Peter Killian) :

NDSL 7B :

DDSL 8A (P Danaher) : Sorry no report received.

NDSL 8B (C Jones) : 

NDSL 8C (G Penrose) :

NDSL 9A (T Rush) : Share of the points for Celtic v Woodlawn. 2-2

NDSL 9B (A Schmidt) : Excellent win for Celtic away to Ballymun Utd. 1-0.

DDSL 9C (T Molloy) :  Celtic went down 3-0 to a very good WFTA side in Finglas this morning in a close game that the scoreline didn't reflect. Celtic just couldn't get the little bit of luck that they needed. It was one - nil for a long period, and with Celtic chasing the equaliser they were caught with two sucker-punches. They just need a bit of luck to get their season kick-started.

NDSL 9D (M Steevens): Battling performance is not enough for brave squad.

NDSL 9E (S Porter) :

NDSL 10A (E Mullen) : Slenderest of defeats for Celtic as Matthew Mullen's goal is not enough. Manager Enda Mullen was very pleased with the effort shown by his players. 1-2.

NDSL 10B (L Doyle) :  Close encounter. Share of the points for Liam Doyle.  0-0.

NDSL 10C (G Grouse) :

NDSL 10D (M Farrell) :

NDSL 11Prem (S Dooley) : Maynooth Town, last year's champions, were brought back to earth with a bang as they went down 3-2 at home to Celtic. The visitors went behind twice, but struck back on both occasions, with goals from Demi Dare on the double and one from Kevin Miller.  This was a great response by the team after their setback last week.  3-2

DDSL 11B (A Kelly) : 3-1 defeat for Celtic at home to Trinity, with Jordan Barnes getting Celtic's only goal. 1-3.

NDSL 11C (S McLoughlin) : Goals from Kevin Dalton, John Lennon Maher, and Shane Tobin, earn the points for Celtic at home to 10-man St Maelruans. 3-0  

NDSL 11E (R Barron) :

NDSL 12Prem (F Murphy) : Celtic ended all-square in this battle of the big guns. Celtic had to scrap for everything, and will feel satisfied that they eked out a result.  There was a lot of concern about their gifted winger Luke Martin when he had to be taken off to hospital with a back injury. But he is fine now Thank God, and is expected to be back soon to help his team challenge for the league title.

NDSL 12B (CON/MT) : Celtic maintain their great start. Gary McCabe hit a hat trick, while Matthew Doyle (2), and Conor O'Ceallaigh, got the other goals.  6-1

NDSL 12C (JOL) : Free-scoring Celtic overwhelmed Drumcondra in this league cup encounter in Porterstown.  The game was on a knife-edge for long spells, as the ref made extraordinary decisions throughout. But fair play to both teams and lines that they contained themselves, which of course is the only thing to do.  An Aiden Doherty hat-trick was the main difference in the end. He was joined on the scoresheet by Justin Lownes, Shane Coffey, Kyle Patten and Evan O'Connor, which ensured Celtic had a comfortable margin in the end.  But it was a lot closere than the scoreline suggest.  7-4  

DDSL 12D (PAllen) :

NDSL 12Girls (BOD) :

DDSL 13Prem (D Hevey) : Narrowest of defeats for Celtic at home to Home Farm. 2 goals from Teezey were not enough to get a result in Porterstown. 2 late chances went a-beggin which would have made this a very different result. 2-3.  

NDSL 13Prem (B Kennedy) : Woodlawn were outclassed by Brian Kennedy's team. Keelan McAnerin, Aran Mooney, Luke Bennett, Ian Watkins and David Costelloe, were the Celtic marksmen in this comprehensive victory.  5-1 

NDSL 13C (JnHayes): Walk over for Celtic as Mullingar Athletic fail to travel.

NDSL 13D (JnByrne): Narrow 3-2 defeat for Celtic away to Maynooth Town.  2-3

DDSL 16A1 (A Waters) : 2-0 down and they looked out for the count against Sheriff. But Celtic bounced back in this SFAI Cup game in Fairview Park to draw level with goals  from Vadym and Callum Zambra. Extra time however saw Sheriff prevail, scoring the winner late on. 2-3.

NDSL 16C (E McGrath) : Celtic were comfortable 5-2 winners over Santos in Porterstown, with Paul McGrath and Paul Conway each hitting a brace for the second week on the spin. They were joined by Abdul Said on the scoresheet which saw the teams level at half time 2-2.  5-2

NDSL 17A (G Hunt) : 4-0 home win for Gerry Hunt's new squad over Darndale. Gerry Troy opened the scoring with a screamer from 30 yards.  Philly Ryan rowed in with a double, to make it 3-0.
