Thursday evening saw our u15 Boys on the road again. This time out to the seaside to play Tramore. Following on from our 2 previous games that we played exceptionally well but lost the pressure was on us to stop the cycle.
We started very quickly out of the traps and were a goal up after one minute through Robbie Sutton(although James disputes this claiming the goal for himself). Dubious goals committee can decide on the scorer 😉.
Then on 3 minutes Tramore sucker punched us with an equaliser. On 20 minutes Tramore got a second goal. Our lads kept their heads are were very unlucky not to be level or even ahead at the break having hit the woodwork a couple of times. Mooncoin pushed from the start in the second half. And our persistence paid off on 52 minutes when Robbie scored an equaliser. The game was frantic from then on with both sides trying to win it but even more afraid to lose it. Bradley pulled off some super saves as the game came to it’s climax. Our boys pushed and pushed and the work and effort paid off when Will Mcloughlin poked home the winner for Celtic with the last kick of the game. The lads fully deserved the win to get us off the mark for the season.
Our next game is on Saturday week 19th October away to Bohs.

Ferrybank deservedly took the three points on offer and the lads will take the positives from this after a slow start.

A tight affair up to the last few minutes saw the boys get the three points on offer. Emmet Cusack and Jamie Grace with a brace each secured the win. Tough start in this short season for a young side.

Leading 2-1 heading in to the last two minutes and it looked like a derby win but Kilmacow had other ideas and deservedly took the three points on offer. Goals from Jim and Edmund but special mention to James on goal for a cracking display of goalkeeping throughout.

The boys started very well this morning with Kieran on fire throughout and Henry and Billy also getting among the goals.

First game on the bigger pitch saw us play second fiddle to Ferrybank and they deservedly took the three points on offer. Better days ahead for this squad who tend to take time to get moving in the league.

First game of the season in breezy conditions last Thursday evening saw three points secured by this side with goals from Tyler with two and Ted Mc securing the three points on offer.
