MATCH REPORT; Madison Celtic 2 Wilton Wolves 1

The Celts reached their penultimate game of the season with a home match against Wilton Wolves. Played in  sunny but very blustery conditions it was the visitors that adapted the quickest by taking advantage of  a defensive slip in the first few minutes of the game to take the lead. The Celts replied quickly when Tano equalized within a couple of minutes to make it 1 1 with only 5 minutes gone! The game then settled down to a fairly ugly game with poor passing and mistimed tackles from both teams. The Celts always looked to have the edge in the first half and that was confirmed when Michael slotted in a second for the Celts from a corner kick in the 20th minute.
After an uplifting halftime team talk the Celts started the second half in a very defensive posture and found themselves under attack on a regular basis. It looked likely that the visitors would equalize but the defensive back 4 and Dustin stood up well to the attacks and gradually the game evened out. A few more chances came the Celts way to finish the game off but  they had to do with holding on to the 1 goal lead right up to the final whistle. Another 3 points in the bag from a tough, unappealing game that sets the Celts up for a promotion game in the last match of the season against Cheshire.
