Our Team


What a fit team!...This is the first post on a new blog for the Madison Celtic team. Our team has played in the Connecticut adult soccer league ( http://www.carsl.org/ ) for the last seven years as Madison United but this season we switched shirts and our name to Madison Celtic. I've been a supporter of Glasgow Celtic since i was about three years old so playing in the hoops is a big thing for me. Has it improved our game?....Well we are getting there......a couple of dodgy defeats at the beginning of the season but we are playing well now. Overall it's been a tough summer season. We had a new roster of players and we have missed 4 games because of bad weather!
So far we have only played 7 league games, winning 3, losing 3 and drawing 1. The league standings (http://carsll3.d4sports.net/leaguemanager/standings.asp?TeamID=92040) show us low in the league but we are improving. We played a friendly today against Guilford and drew 0 0. The first time i've played in a nil nil draw for over 12 years. It was a good game though. Some great defending by the Hoops and some unlucky misses up front resulted in the stalemate. We played the same team last week with a 3 3 score line so i would like to think the defence is getting better~!
We have one more game left before the end of the season and then we start up again in the Fall.
I will also be tracking Glasgow Celtic's progress in the coming Scottish league season and in the Champions League. Hope you do to!
If you are a team member have a go at adding a comment and vote in our poll for best player of the season so far......what do you mean there are only defenders names up there......?

  1. The most important question that must be answered for next week's game is, whose turn is it to provide the beer?????
