AUL Div 2 Sunday

Celtic's seniors had been out of sorts last week, but they had shaken off the post-Christmas doldrums for this visit to Clondalkin against Booth Road who had proved tough opposition in the home fixture in Porterstown.

This week the Celtic strikers had their shooting boots on, and tested the home keeper continually throughout the game. They went ahead after 20 mins following a free kick which fell to Graham Fennell, back to full fitness after his long lay off.  He shot home for the first goal.  His return is a big addition to the squad, his encouragement of team mates is a special asset to the team.

Stephen O'Callaghan got the second after racing through and rounding the keeper to score. 2-0.  Booth Road hit back to reduce the arrears at half time. 2-1 to Celtic.

Celtic looked back to their best in the second half, and created many chances, but it was John Dunne who got the third, which leaves Celtic pressing hard on the league leaders with games in hand. The spring is going to be a busy time yet again for this team of youngsters, who as usual are giving excellent value for money to their supporters.
