NDSL 10P (A Schmidt):

NDSL 11B (E Mullen): Celtic continued with their tumultuous end of season, playing 4 games in 8 days, which they must repeat again this coming week.  They went a goal down to Kilbarrack in Porterstown and were under some pressure.  However, they are a fantastic team of battlers, from no. 1 to 16. Manager Enda Mullen and coach Brendan Carolan have such depth of talent in the squad that they rotate the players at will without weakening it.  So it was against Kilbarrack, and Cian Kelly was the first of the Celtic squad to hit the back of the net when he leveled matters.   Jack Carolan was introduced to great effect. He had hardly entered the fray when he was on the scoresheet.  Aidan Sampson got the insurance goal to give Celtic a comfortable margin.  It was left to  Liam O'Neill to tap in at the far post after Cian Kelly had set it up.  They could not rest on their laurels, as they must prepare for another 2 games away to Rush Athletic and at home to Tolka Rovers. 4-1    and more 

NDSL 11E (M Farrell): 30/5/10: Celtic put in a stellar performance to wind up their league programme at home to Balscadden.  The prolific Narchis Catre hit a hat-trick.  Ian Fanning helped himself to a brace, as did Adam Rahaman.  Asad Azam and Stephen McAdam rounded off the scoring with a goal each.  Michael Farrell's troops had shared the points in a very entertaining 1-1 draw at home to Clontarf a couple of days before. Narchis Catre was again Celtic's marksman. Celtic could have won it - they hit the woodwork and a point-blank save by keeper saved Clontarf.

DDSL 11D (Derek Dixon): 

NDSL 12Prem (S Dooley):

NDSL 12Girls (B O'Donovan): 29/5/10: After their fabulous semi-final win over Mt Merrion,  Celtic's U-12s Girls put in a splendid Cup Final performance v WFTA, but were denied by last gasp winner. Referee's player of the match was Emma Boyle who was magnificent. Result 2-3.

DDSL 14B (D Byrne):

NDSL 15Prem (J Roe): Celtic suffered defeat away to Swords Celtic which meant that they did not get the runner-up spot that had looked likely a short time ago.  0-1

NDSL 15A (A Kelly):

NDSL 15C (Pierce/Willie):

DDSL 16Prem (D Hanlon): A brilliant second half performance was not enough to see Celtic gain the 3 points at home to a plucky Balbriggan side.  The visitors had taken a deserved 1-0 lead midway through the first half, and were good value for their lead at half time.  The Celtic that took to the field in the second half were transformed.  They played superb football, and had a hatful of chances to put them out of sight.  However, they had to rely on Garret Byrne's single strike 15 mins from time to gain a share of the points.  Man of the match was Andy Carroll who was magnificent, and just edged out Garret Byrne for the award.  1-1
