Aaron Winters, Aaron Newman and Declan Dowling were sprung off the bench to change the game and within minutes of coming on Winters won a penalty which Anthony Craig put away. Craig had a hand in the equaliser when he floated in a free kick which Aaron Newman flicked home to equalise with a few minutes left on the clock with the game ending level on 90 minutes.
Neither side made a breakthrough in the first period of extra time but five minutes into the second half Paul Bartley swung in a free kick and Anthony Craig headed home at the near post to seal the victory for Celtic and cap off a fine performance. Great fighting spirit was shown by the lads today to come back from 2 down to win. Best for Trim were Anthony Craig and Paul Munnelly.
