MATCH REPORT; Madison 0 Newington Portuguese 0

Another great performance by the Celts saw them force the league leaders to drop points for the first time this season. A hard fought and, at times, petulant game was devoid of goals but not chances for both teams. Another sterling performance by the Celtic defence with Alex in goal, helped to hold off a Newington forward line that had banged in 13 goals in their previous four outings. The Celts also had chances up front but were just off the pace and unable to nick a goal. A first outing from Dmitriy  was  also noted as being excellent!

Man Of The Match; According to all accounts the Celtic Defence gets a collective MOM award!

MATCH REPORT; Stamford City 0 Madison 0



The Celts earned a well deserved point in a pulsating away game against Stamford City. Although there were no goals there were plenty of chances for both teams to score. The ball hit post and bar multiple times and some clear cut chances to score were thwarted by both excellent goalkeepers. The game had some great moves and passes that were superb. The Madison Celtic midfield had a great day with Ronnie and Johnny B on top form. Yet again injury robbed us of full games from Nino and Eduardo but everyone played their part. The defense was solid with Fribeka playing an outstanding game as a makeshift left back. Jim and Tim were like rocks at the back with Jim taking forays up into more advanced positions. Tano, Rob, G and Leo all had chances to score but it just wasn't their day but they did get themselves into some great positions
At the end the 0 0 score line seemed fair although it would have been nice to claim all three points!

Man of the Match; some notable performances from Johnny B and Ronnie in midfield and Fribeka at left back but MOM goes to Jim O for another good day at the office!

MATCH REPORT; Madison Celtic 2 Cheshire United 0



Match Report and pics from TANO!

The game was dominated from minute one by Madison Celtic who peppered the Cheshire defense with 20 shots and claimed 9 corners! A very well controlled  midfield of  Johnny B.and Dave were the pit bulls in the center and Tim was a rock at the back as usual.  Even though the Celts dominated the first 45 minutes of the game the half ended goalless  After all this pressure a goal was richly deserved and it finally came deep into the second half when Ravi received a pass and scored on the 25th minute. And with 10 min left in the game the Celts emphasized their dominance by scoring a second. At one of  the last corner kicks of the game  La Boca asked for a short corner which he got and quickly crossed. The ball  bounced into the box and was  recovered by Tano who, instead of shooting, passed to Jim O.  He was all on his own with  half  the goal gaping in front of him so it was the simplest of tasks to slot the ball into the net. The whistle went to close out a great 2 0 victory for the Celts

Man Of The Match; The mom is either Dave or Me, If I had scored 5 goals that I was really close to doing....but I didn't......so, it's Dave Slade!
