19/20 September 2009

AUL Div2 Sat (P Finn): Superb 5-0 away win over Greenfield Park Boys.  Celtic overwhelmed their opponents with a power-display. John Moriarty was yet again cracking 'em in, getting 2 more.  Darren Kinsella matched John on this occasion, while Keith Pendred completed the scoring.  5-0

LSL Maj1B Sat (Ray Bowe): No goals in this home game in Porterstown

AUL PremC Sun (Ed OCallaghan):  Celtic's Snr side hit their old Nemesis GreenPark for Six away in the Nivea Cup. Highlight of the game was Larry Jacobe's hat-trick which he had just missed out on the week before. He is in a rich vein of scoring form at present. Kevin Keane, Alan Bohan, and Weah t'Uway completed the rout. 6-0

AUL Div2 Sun (P Hoey):  Celtic went down by the odd goal in 5 at home to Celtic Bhoys in a very close game that could have gone either way. 2-3.

NDSL 8Prem (P Killian): Titanic struggle in Ratoath ends in win for Celtic. 2-0.

DDSL 8C (Craig Shiels):

NDSL 8D (Pat Reilly) : 

DDSL 9C (P Danaher): Castleknock Celtic 2-4 Finglas :  Castleknock lost a close encounter to Finglas. A poor start saw Castleknock concede 2 early goals before Gavin harney pulled 1 back before half time. 2 early goals conceded in the second half left Castleknock a mountain to climb but a goal from a Luke Danaher corner gave hope. Unfortunately Castleknock then missed a penalty and Finglas ran out winners.  2-4

NDSL 9B (P Mason): Cracking win for Celtic 3-1 away to Cloughertown.  3-1. 

NDSL 9D (C Jones):

DDSL 9F (Shane White): Ayoub hits a beautiful brace in Celtic's 2-0 away victory v St Columbans to maintain their 100% record after their first 3 outings. They have conceded no goals so far, and this is down to brilliant defending.  We have to mention keeper sensation Darragh O'Riordan, who kept another clean sheet with 3 World-class saves.  Their 2 central defenders, Andy Rogers and David Nugent were magnificent.  Manager Shane White and his coach, Brian Cummins, who is recovering from back surgery in Blackrock Clinic, were delighted with the team's start to the season. The U-9s and the rest of us wish Brian a speedy recovery to his coaching role.  2-0

NDSL 10P+ (T Rush):  This was a bad day at the office as Celtic went down 4-0 away to Ashbourne. 0-4

NDSL 10P (A Schmidt):

DDSL 10C (T Molloy): Celtic's 10C put down marker with 2-0 home win v Lakelands. 2-0

NDSL 10D (M Stevens):

NDSL 10F (Sean Porter)

DDSL 10D (Rob Ryan)

NDSL 11B (E Mullen):

NDSL 11E (M Farrell): Drums are flattered  by 3-1 margin of victory over a brave Celtic.

DDSL 11D (Derek Dixon): 

NDSL 12Prem (S Dooley): Brian Whelan and Sean Linnane were the men of the match in this away game v Navan Road Utd.  Celtic had to settle for a share of the points, though they had chances to take all 3.  0-0.

DDSL 12B (A Kelly): Celtic overcame Rivermount Boys away by a margin of 4 goals to 2.  This was a very convincing victory for Celtic, despite having a very depleted squad through injury.  Stuart Harold, Nedin Hivacic, John Lennon-Maher and Jordan Barnes, were Celtic's marksmen.  4-2

DDSL 12C (Gavin/Steve):

NDSL 12D (R Barron): First win of the season for Celtic in defeating Maynooth Town 2-1 in this League Cup away fixture.  2-1.

NDSL 12Girls:

NDSL 13Prem (F Murphy):

NDSL 13B (Conor/Martin):  Balscadden found the going too tough in Porterstown against a fired-up Celtic.  A brace each for Gary McCabe and Darragh Conway, with a goal each for Ryan O'Neill and Jordan Toland, gave the home side a comfortable cushion in the end.  Man of the match was Oran O'Donoghue who as usual played it simple and effective, with plenty of commitment.  6-2.

NDSL 13C (J O'Leary): This Celtic side suffered a rare defeat, going down 4-2 away to B-league division Swords Celtic.  2-4. 

DDSL 14Maj (B Kennedy): Aaron Mooney hit Celtic level just before half time at home to WFTA in Porterstown.  The visitors restored their lead when the home side failed to clear their lines or make the decisive tackles.  It was left to the long-serving Keelan McAnerin, from a pass from Owen Newman, to strike home his equalising goal midway through the second half to earn a share of the points.  

NDSL 14C (T Hanlon):

DDSL 14B (D Byrne):

NDSL 14D (Gerry/Oleg):

NDSL 15Prem (J Roe): Celtic opened up the throttle on a beautiful morning in Porterstown, against Balbriggan, with Brian Slevin's hat-trick being the highlight of the game.  Patrick Rocca also chalked his first of the season with a swivel turn and shot into the far corner of the net, a sweet way to round off a very comprehensive victory.  6-1 

DDSL 15Maj (D Bradshaw):

NDSL 15A (A Kelly): Celtic maintained their fine start to the season with another win, defeating Malahide Utd 1-0 away at the seaside. Sean Zambra was again on the scoresheet, which ensures a quarter final place for Celtic in the League Cup.  Aidan Black played a captain's part, for which he earned the man of the match award.  Managers Andy Kelly and Bernie Elliott are looking forward to a savoury opposition in the quarter final.  What about a Castleknock Celtic derby, wouldn't come much tastier than that.  1-0.

NDSL 15C (Pierce/Willie): Narrow defeat for Celtic as they go down 1-0 at home to Artane Beaumont.  0-1.

DDSL 16Prem (D Hanlon):

NDSL 16A (SODonnchú): Dunshaughlin were good value for the 3 points in Porterstown.  0-3.

NDSL 16B (B Smith):

DDSL 17Maj (J Moriarty):

NDSL 18A (G Hunt):  Gerry Hunt was very happy with his side's comfortable win over Huntstown Villa.  Highlight of the match was a Gerardesque finish from the edge of the box by Paul Hunt, who curled a beauty in off the underside of the crossbar, with which he was very pleased - well worth the admission fee!  6-0.
