10As maintained their winning sequence with a 3-0 home win over Swords Manor in Porterstown. They were sent on their way with Brian Allen's strike in the first half, which gave them a 1-0 advantage at half-time.  The match was generally evenly contested, except for the scoreboard, as Swords were competing well. Celtic's defender, James Henry, had to be at his best at the back to keep the opposition at bay.   Celtic increased their advantage in the second half after man of the match Luke Lynch was brought down in the box.  Glen Murphy stepped up and smacked a beauty into the top of the net from the spot kick.  Despite increasing their lead, Celtic had to be alert as Swords pressed forward, but fortunately, Nathan McAloon was putting in an inspiring display with his work rate, motoring between the defence and midfield.  Stephen O'Donoghue was on the top of his game in the middle of the park, while ably assisted by team-mate, Jamie Traynor.  With great commitment, Celtic were able to keep Swords scoreless, while late on they stretched their winning margin to 3-0 after a goalmouth scramble, when Luke Martin rifled in from close range.  This was an impressive victory for Celtic over last season's title winners, and puts down a marker for Celtic's ambitions for the season. click

10As just overcome Corduff in titanic struggle with 3-2 win at home. click  

LSL Premier Sat shared the spoils with a 2-2 draw away to Malahide Utd in the Castle grounds on Saturday.  Celtic had to come from behind twice. Their first came from a well-worked move, which started with Karl Fox at full back, who passed to Ronan McGivern, who in turn sent Ciaran Carr clear on the right wing. He spotted Garry Deveney, who crossed to John Byrne to slot home from close range.  Celtic went behind following a defensive lapse.  But they rallied strongly to level the game when Fergal Cusack, back for his first outing of the new season, flicked over the Malahide keeper.  This Celtic team are looking forward to their 2nd round FAI Jnr Cup encounter against Oldchurch in mid-October. 

AUL Div2 Sat lost by the only goal of the game away to Tolka Rvrs in Frank Cooke Park, in this 1st round Leinster Jnr Cup fixture.  Celtic battled throughout against a stronger Tolka side, but in the end, it was unlucky finishing that denied stand-in manager, Arnie Brady, a result.  Adam and Steve O'Callaghan had both gone close to opening Celtic's account.  They will face Moate Celtic in the 2nd round of the FAI Jnr Cup in mid-October.
