10th Oct 2009

A very strange day indeed.  Celtic had got a call notifying them that the game was off due to waterlogged pitch.  By chance, the team manager learned that it was a hoax call that had tried to mislead them.  With emergency rearrangements, the game went ahead with Celtic minus a couple of players, arriving just in time to fulfil the fixture.  Well done Brian Kennedy for rescuing the situation.  There is a lesson for all club secretaries in this experience.

It started ominously for Celtic when they went 1-0 down after 5 mins.  Maybe the hoax would have an impact after all.  But Aron Mooney was not having any of that, and he struck well from the edge of the box to level matters.  The change in fortune continued when a beautiful flowing move ended with Keelan McAnerin tapping in at the far post.  2-1 half-time.

The second half saw Celtic maintain their dominance, playing fine football.  Their superiority was rewarded with a 3rd goal to essentially make it safe, despite a late 2nd for Naas late on.

This was a triumph for this Celtic team who have shown that they are well capable of doing well in their first season in this division. 3-2
