5/6 September 2009

AUL Div2 Sat (P Finn): Celtic got back to winning ways with a comprehensive 3-1 win at home to Belclare. A brace from Keith Pendred and one from David Hunt earned the points for Celtic.  3-1

LSL Maj1D Sat (Ray Bowe): Another draw for Ray Bowe's team, following this 2-2 draw away to Firhouse.  Aided by a strong breeze, Celtic had taken a 2 goal lead after 6 mins, with goals from prolific Deco Cunningham and Gary Deveney.  Despite much pressure and superiority, Celtic failed to get that 3rd goal. Then against the run of play, Firhouse were given a lifeline with a poorly defended goal.  It seemed that Celtic had weathered the storm, when deep in injury time a freak goal direct from a corner earned Firhouse an unlikely share of the points.  Despite having to settle for a draw, Celtic remain undefeated this season, which will give him encouragement as he chases honours.  2-2

AUL PremC Sun (Ed OCallaghan): Celtic advanced in the Nivea Cup with an emphatic win away to McKelvey Celtic.  The Daily Star were on hand to cover the game, and they awarded the man of the match award to Billy Thompson, who hit top form, including scoring. Larry Jacob helped himself to a couple, David Stapleton scored a beauty, while Billy and Alan Bohan got the other goals.  The scoring was completed with an own goal. The 4-5-1 system worked a dream on the day, which the management team of Eddie O'Callaghan, Arnie Brady, Steve Lawlor and Noel Murray were very pleased with.
