Castleknock Celtic  1    Drumcondra  3

NDSL 11D

20th Sept. 2009

Celtic were desperately unlucky in this home fixture not to get something from this game.  They battled long and hard, and at the end they just came up short on a day that they left their shooting boots at home.           Click pic to enlarge

The home side found themselves 2-0 early on, and the omens were there that this would not be their day.  Despite this early setback however, they fought back to 2-1 down at the break, with a Luke Kearney strike. 

Keeper Cormac Harmon was in superb form, and he kept Drums at bay when the visitors threatened, and his heroics between the sticks ensured Celtic were in this game right to the end, when Drums got a breakaway goal which flattered them.  In truth, this was a very close contest, and with a more favourable rub of the green, the result could have been very different.  1-3
