 All Over-40 League Second Division Results


And so the journey ends for another season. Our last game of a rather strange campaign that saw us sitting in top spot after 3 games but now sees us rooted firmly to the bottom of the league. Can we pull off a remarkable escape? Well it's still possible. If we win our last game against Norwalk Sports Colombia and the two teams above us lose then we may still do an escape trick that would make Houdini proud.

Derby play Guilford at home on the last day and Stamford are at home to Newington Portuguese.


This is a 10am kick off at Nathan Hale Middle School in Norwalk. Field directions below



NATHAN HALE MIDDLE SCHOOL:
176 Strawberry Hill Avenue, Norwalk, CT 06851
Artificial turf field approved for SASL games
I-95 South to Exit 16. At the traffic light turn right onto East Avenue.
Go 1⁄2 mile, and then take a right onto Sunset Hill Avenue (Norwalk City Hall is on the right). Go up the hill. Sunset Hill becomes Tierney Street. Go to the end to the stop sign. Turn left onto Strawberry Hill Avenue. Go 3/10 mile and turn right into Nathan Hale Middle School.

Match Report; New Haven Americans 3 Guilford Celtic 1



A strange game that started with Guilford fielding only nine players, but managed to lead by a goal up to the break before collapsing to a 3 1 defeat. In between all that Dustin got injured, David got red carded and the team just couldn't shake off their losing habit.

Only one game left in the season

MATCH REPORT; Guilford Celtic 2 Derby Quitus 2



Celtic saved face in a game where the opposition turned up with only 9 players! Debt Quitus fought hard throughout this game and were well deserving of their scrappy point. They did not have many chances but when they got them they took them. Unbelievably over the course of 80 minutes the depleted visitors managed to score 2 goals without reply. It looked like the home team were heading for an ignominious defeat when, with only  a few minutes left on the clock, James G started a mini revival with a headed goal. With the Celts piling on a huge amount of pressure the brave visitors finally succumbed and gave up a clear penalty. With nerves of steel Marcos thumped the ball in to the net to claim a point for the Celts and avoid a completely embarrassing result.

Two game left in the season

NEXT GAME; Sunday October 15th vs Derby Quitus



Bottom of the league clash as Celtic welcome Derby Quitus to Long Hill. A defeat would root Celtic to the bottom of the league but 3 points would see us skip over Derby and position ourselves with a strong run over the last few games of the season!

This is an 8am kick off!!
