On Thursday last the Club’s U16’s travelled to play Grove Rangers in the semi final of the NECSL Challenge Cup but they were unable to produce the form of the previous week which saw them come away from the same venue with a 1-0 win in the Shield. Thomas Noone was on target in normal time but the game finished 1-1 after extra time & Celtic lost out 3-4 on penalties. Robert Bradley hopes that his team can salvage their season by winning the NECSL Premier Shield. They are scheduled to play Albion Rovers in the semi final on Tuesday night in Tully Park.

The U11B’s finished their season with a 0-1 defeat at home to Newtown in Division 2.

The U17’s reached the final of the NECSL Challenge Cup this morning thanks to a 4-3 penalty shoot-out victory over Oldcastle. Adam Whelan was on target in normal time & Michael Loughlin’s boys will now face either Albion Rovers or Carrick Rovers in the final next Tuesday week 6th May.

Another day of mixed fortunes for the Club as the Schoolboy season gets right down to the business end in the NECSL. Out of six game played Celtic ended up with three wins, a draw & two defeats but the Club has two more league titles to celebrate in addition to the U13A title won two weeks ago.

The U14’s defeated visitors Kentstown at Tully Park by a score of 3-2 in the NECSL Premier Shield semi final. Celtic took a first half lead through Mark Little but the visitors struck back with two goals early in the second half & it took a Robert Sweeney converted penalty (pictured) to bring the game to extra time. Sweeney went on to score the only goal in extra time to enable Celtic to advance to the final. The score after normal time counted as a league result with each club taking a point. Kentstown can now win the league with one more win in their remaining games. Little consolation to Celtic however who have twice beaten Kentstown this season but congratulations nonetheless to Kentstown. Click here for more pictures. Read rest of story…

Three more games played tonight & glad to report three more wins for Club sides.

The U16’s travelled to Drogheda & beat local side Grove Rangers by the only goal of the game in this Premier Shield semi final. Jamie Lee (pictured) was the marksman.

Also in the Premier Shield, the U13A’s beat Kingscourt at the MDL in their home semi final. Jack Johnston hit both goals in a 2-0 victory. The game was played at the MDL grounds because of an error in the NECSL league office that resulted in fixture clashes in Tully Park.

The U14’s hit five without reply in the Challenge Cup quarter final away to Torro Utd. The scorers were Mark Little (2), Donal Callan, Rian Wogan & Sam Millen. Next up in the semi final is Athboy Celtic at Tully Park.

In the only game played by the Club today, the U15’s failed to maintain their excellent recent form & lost 0-2 away to Carrick Rovers in the semi final of the NECSL Challenge Cup.

The U14 & U13A games were both postponed.

The scheduled U16 & U12 games at Tully Park this  morning were called off because of the waterlogged pitch.

A decision will be taken tomorrow morning as regards the U17 & Senior Team fixtures.

Pictured this afternoon watching the U16s take on Torro Utd. at the Community School pitch were Brendan Smith & Paddy McGee along with Team Manager Shay Lee.

As a result of the heavy rainfall over the last couple of days there was limited action on the field today & mixed results in the few games played.

The only winners were the U13Bs who took on visitors Newtown Utd. at the Community School pitch in Trim. Dean Courtney & Fergus Mulryan both hit hat-tricks & Thomas Crinion also found the net in an easy 7-0 win. With nearest rivals MV Bhoys losing this result leaves them very much in the driving seat with only two games remaining in the NECSL Div 2 title chase.

The U11Bs lost out by the odd goal in five against Parkvilla in Navan despite a fine performance. James Durkan & Neil Reilly were on target.

The U16s played their last league game of the season in Div 1 & yet again shared the spoils, this time with already crowned champions Torro Utd. at the Community School pitch in Trim. Damien McGee was the scorer. Click here for pictures of today’s game.

The U12 Div 1 league game against Drogheda Town was moved to tomorrow & the venue has also changed - it will kick off at 11.30 am at the School pitch.

The U17s travel to play Oldcastle tomorrow morning in Div 1 of the NECSL. KO is down for 11.00 am.
