Halftime: 2 – 1

Trim Celtic scorers: David Conway, Shane Ashe, Ross Campbell, Noel Payne
Caragh took the lead inside ten minutes but Celtic fought back and equalised
when David Conway scored from six yards from a breaking corner. Shortly
before halftime Celtic took the lead when Shane Ashe dived to head home Paul
Campbell’s free kick.

Shortly into the second half Caragh earned a penalty which was superbly
saved by keeper Barry O’Callaghan. However the Kildare side did draw level
soon after. The final fifteen minutes saw a flurry of goals as Ross
Campbell’s superb volley put Trim Celtic 3-2 up and Noel Payne’s freekick
giving a two goal advantage. However the visitors were not finished yet and
scored a late goal to make it 4-3

Trim Celtic 3 – 1 Ardee

Halftime: 0 – 1

Trim Celtic scorers: Colm Smith, Sean Foley, Niall Farrell

Celtic recorded their first league win of the season with a deserved victory
over a physically strong Ardee side at Tully Park. Trim started badly and
conceded a soft goal after only 2 minutes. However they recovered well with
some good football without hitting the net for the remainder of the first
half.

The second half was a different story as Damien McGee set up Colm Smith for
the equaliser. Sean Foley’s header from David O’Connor’s corner put Celtic
ahead. Niall Farrell’s 20 yard strike rounded off the scoring.

Trim Celtic 1 – 2 Glenmuir Utd

Halftime: 1 – 2

Trim Celtic scorer: Paul Campbell

Trim Celtic suffered their fist defeat of the season at the hands of Glenmuir. The Dundalk side started brightly and took the lead when a shot came back of the crossbar and was finished from close range. Celtic came close when David Conway’s header cleared was cleared off the line. Celtic equalised soon after when Shane Ashe broke clear and squared the ball to allow Paul Campbell to tap home. Celtic then lost captain Dominic Martin to a facial injury and conceded another long after as a Glenmuir player was allowed in to slot past keeper Barry O’Callaghan. As the half Celtic were awarded numerous free kicks on the edge of the box and from one such occasion almost drew level as David Conway headed narrowly wide from Paul Campbell’s cross.
Against the wind in the second half Celtic piled on the pressure onto the Glenmuir defence without actually troubling the keeper. Paul Campbell and Shane Ashe both had long-range shots that went narrowly wide. Late on Ashe had a valid penalty claim turned down as he ran at the Glenmuir defence into the box. In stoppage time Celtic’s David Fagan hit the inside of the post with a snap shot from the edge of the box.

Halftime: 0 – 1

Trim Celtic scorers: Ross Campbell, Fergus Fagan

Trim Town took the lead early in the first half and continued to cause problems for the Celtic defence. Ross Campbell came close at the other end hitting the crossbar from a free kick and Gordon Flood also shot narrowly wide after a surging run into the box.

Shortly into the second half Celtic drew level when Ross Campbell was put through by Mark Scanlon on the left to fire home. Fergus Fagan then put Celtic in front when he finished from close range after Town had failed to clear a corner. With ten minutes remaining Town scored an equaliser with a back post header from a corner.

This was a disappointing game for Trim Celtic who started poorly and were one down at the break. It was only after Ardee’s second goal that Trim began to play to their capabilities and an Aaron Newman goal got them back in the game. But for a combination of the woodwork and bad finishing Trim Celtic may have snatched a point.

Kentstown 1 – 1 Trim Celtic

Halftime: 0 – 1

Trim Celtic scorer: Diarmuid Higgins

A poor refereeing decision denied Trim Celtic a deserved win in this match.
Leading by a Diarmuid Higgins strike from 15 yards after twenty minutes a controversial penalty cost Celtic two points. However this was a much improved Celtic performance after the disappointment of last week. Showing much more characteristic discipline and organisation they were the better team throughout. Jamie Lee’s return to the defence mad a big difference where he was ably supported by Darren Melia and David O’Connor, with Diarmuid Higgins always a threat to the Kentstown defence. In the second half facing a strong wind Celtic played some very good football with Colm Smith

Trim Celtic 0 – 2 Athboy

Halftime: 0 – 2

In the opening game of the season Trim Celtic were well beaten by an Athboy
side that were more determined and better organised. Indeed the final
scoreline flattered Trim Celtic who never got going and had Dillan Murrnin
in goals to thank for the low score. Athboy took the lead after four
minutes, missed a penalty mid way through the half and scored a second just
before the break. In the second half Celtic tried to up the tempo but in the
end Athboy ran out deserving winners. This was the Trim group’s first defeat
in twenty-four league games and they know that the can and will do a lot
better.
