Celts win penalty shoot out!

I was updating you last week on how well Celtic were doing in the league and cup competitions this season. Last week they played in the semi-final of the Scottish League Cup against Dundee United. It was a tough game and Celtic were unlucky not to have won it over 90 minutes, but the game ended 0 0 and so went into extra time. After those 30 minutes were over both teams were still deadlocked with no goals scored even though Celtic had come agonizingly close in the final minutes, hitting the bar twice. So, off to penalties they went, and after a nail chewing, gut wrenching 24 penalties Celtic had won it 11-10! Tough luck on United, but well deserved for Celtic. They now play their old chums Rangers in the final in March. Still on track for the treble!

As for Madison Celtic, they won their first indoor game of the season by beating the oddly named Cardiac Arrest team 7-2. Some great goals and some fab saves by El Gato delivered a comprehensive victory. In the previous two games we have drawn 2-2 with Guilford and lost 5-4 to Durham. I think we are hitting our stride now and getting used to the indoor style of play.

More to come next week!
