2009 AUL Div2A Sat : Fabulous win for Celtic in
Porterstown over title rivals Harelawn ends in home
victory. 3-2
LSL Maj1D Sat :
AUL Div1 Sun : Celtic continued their surge up the table with a narrow 2-1 home win over St Malachys who looked a much more formidable opponent in this return league game. The earlier fixture had ended in a 5-1 home away win for Celtic. The home side's goals came from Billy Thompson and a penalty from Andy Weldon, Celtic's own Larry Lloyd, though Larry would have been proud of Andy's scoring record. 2-1 click to enlarge AUL Div3 Sun : NDSL 7A: Celtic narrowly lose 1-2 to league
leaders Portrane in Porterstown. 1-2
NDSL 7B: DDSL 8A: Dingle 3 - 1 Castleknock Celtic :
Castleknock slumped to their first defeat since December
in a hard fought game away to Dingle. The sides were
level at the break 0-0 with each NDSL 8B NDSL 8C: NDSL 9A: Celtic went down to Ashbourne Utd in this crucial league game. Mike Leahy scored for Celtic, while Mark Brazil took off a superb save in the first half that Ray Clemence would have been proud of. 1-2 NDSL 9B: DDSL 9C: NDSL 9D: NDSL 10A: No-show from Ballymun Utd gave Celtic a walkover, to the great disappointment of Enda Mullen's squad, who were just interested in performing at home in Porterstown. NDSL 10B: NDSL 10C: Mick Farrell's side goes down to Swords Celtic despite a great team effort. They hit the crossbar once and a had a few near misses. The final score did not do justice to a valiant performance by Celtic. 0-2 NDSL 11Prem: DDSL 11B: NDSL 11C: NDSL 11D: A fine win for Celtic away to Swords Celtic. Nermin Bardak scored on the double, while Daniel Hanney completed the scoring. 3-2 NDSL 12Prem: NDSL 12B (CON):
NDSL 12C (JOL): : Woodlawn. After last week
it was back to winning ways for Celtic in this David
Costello League Cup game. They were much improved,
and put in a hard working performance, against a very
solid Woodlawn. It was Caolan O'Donnell's brace that
was the difference between the sides. It was a
difficult decision to pick a Man of the Match, but it
was David Kelly who shaded it. 2-0
DDSL 12D (PAllen): NDSL 12Girls: DDSL 13Prem: Celtic maintained their battle
for survival earning a share of the points against the
visiting Stella Maris team, which takes Celtic to 7th in
the table. It was a creditable performance with
every player doing his bit for the cause. They
could have taken all 3 points but for some great
goalkeeping by the Stella keeper. Either side
could have been awarded a penalty, but the referee was
in a rather stingy mood. 0-0 Joey Lennon-Maher
leads attack -
NDSL 13Prem: Keelan McAnerin and Aran Mooney
were Celtic's marksmen in this 2-0 home win over
Rivervalley Rangers in a tough encounter in Porterstown.
2-0 NDSL 13C (JnHayes): Celtic were good
value for a share of the points against a bustling
and robust Kinsealy Boys. James Carolan was again on the
scoresheet, but it was Niall O'Riordan who was awarded
the man of the match for his marvellous display, which
was climaxed with a superb save from a disputed Kinsealy
penalty by their very very big centre forward who had
been a real handful throughout. Full marks to
Celtic for keeping him restricted to. They
certainly showed a level of commitment that was amazing
to ensure that they ended on level terms. 1-1
NDSL 13D
(JnByrne): Superb win for Celtic away to Malahide Utd.
1-0.
NDSL 13E (AlFahy): Played against a very strong wind for the first half, but led 3 - 0 at half time. Goals from Adam Maher, and a brace from Nick Mesina. The second half started at a frantic pace with Swords Celtic pushing to get into the game early in the half. A beautiful ball floated over the top by Jake Clarke was pursued tigerishly by Andrew Murphy. Everyone stopped for a perceived offside, but Andrew "played the whistle" and got his just reward with a well placed goal. Soon after, Paddy Miller was perfectly placed to convert from six yards following a beautiful cross fr om the right wing. The performance was completed by leading scorer, Nick Mesina, who scored his third with a few minutes to go. That makes three hat-tricks for him this season, two of them in the last three games. Overall a pleasing result, with the added bonus of another clean sheet. Castleknock Celtic still in the hunt for league honours. Squad: Tadgh Hanlon, Eoin O'Sullivan, Ciaran Coady, Alan Johnson (Capt.), Abu Elamin, Michael Fahy, Shane Sweeney, Ross Kennedy, Nick Mesina, Riad Didani, Cathal Mullen, Jake Clarke, Ibrahim Almafreji, Dorin Buzalov, Adam Maher, Patrick Miller, Andrew Murphy, Alan Dzipa and Othman Saleh NDSL 14Premier: Brian Slevin put in a golden
performance as he led his side to a 4-0 win away to
Ashbourne Utd. 4-0
DDSL 14Major: Celtic went down to table toppers St Malachys. Goals from Kevin Flanagan and Luke Cautley were not enough as Celtic went down to the odd goal in 5. 2-3 NDSL 14C: NDSL 14D: Swords Rovers were out of the blocks
like sprinters and were 1-0 within minutes of the start.
Celtic played in the changed strip of yellow and green.
A brace each from Eoin O'Gorman and Zaid Kurchied,
and a single strike from Shane Wright, ensured that
Celtic cruised to a 5-1 victory at home. There
were whispers after this very convincing win that Celtic
had turned the corner and could now embark on a spring
charge. 5-1
NDSL 15Prem: Donal Hanlon's troops overcame a stubborn Portmarnock side away in the NDSL Cup to claim a place in the 4th round. 4-2 NDSL 15B: NDSL 15C: DDSL 16A: NDSL 16C: NDSL 17A: Brendan Hunt enjoyed his management duties, stepping in for Gerry Hunt. Celtic romped home 6-3 winners against visitors Glebe North. 6-3 DDSL 18Prem: |
