Late Leveller Robs Celts

Madison got back into great goal scoring form in this game against the Italian Nitos....yes, their name is the Nitos...or was it the Nitros? Anyway, it was a good hard fought game with some great attacking play by the Celts but a somewhat leaky defense and two penalties finally sunk their chances for a win. Through most of the game the goals were traded fairly evenly with first the Nitos edging into the lead then the Celts. Great running by Bambi and Roniildo in the midfield help to close down their fast running forwards, and Ruben and Halil up front were in the mood for scoring goals. BOR , Johnnaldo and El Gato did their best at the back, although you could argue that losing 8 goals in a game may not be one of their best defensive displays! But, it could have been worse, if not for a few great saves and blocks by The Cat. In the second half, Celtic edged into the lead and held it long enough to make you think they would win the game but Nitos kept hanging in there and then got the first of two fairly cheap penalties. This first one, after a push, levelled the game but once again the Celts got back into the lead only for a last second penalty, for hand ball, allowed the Nitos to tie the game with the very last kick of the game. A better performance than the last two games but we do have to plug the gaps in the defence if we want to take advantage of forwards hitting a rich seam of goals.


Next game is against Durham Bulls!
