Indoor Season Starts With Double Header!

Well, the long holiday break is over and we had to get back into action on the soccer field at some point but it was with a double header against Durham and Madison Crisis!

The first game was really tough as everyone tried to get back into the habit of running and passing while trying to breathe. How can you do all of that at the same time?? Durham were the opponents and like last year they proved to be tough opposition. Madison fell behind early but fought back to get their noses in front only to lose two stupid goals to end the half 3-2 down. The second half was similar to the first with wayward passing and lots of missed chances. Having got even again Madison fell to another two soft goals and spent the last 5 minutes chasing to get two goals to at least grab a draw but only one more goal could be claimed as Madison fell to a 5-4 loss. So a first game loss but some positives; Drew made a credible debut for the Celts and the team got a chance to get rid of the festive cobwebs.

After a quick 3 minute turn around the next opposition up was Madison Crisis and immediately we could see that this game would have a different outcome. After a cautious start Madison roared into 4-0 lead and kept their superiority throughout the game finally winning 8-4. The only other point of note was the fabulous goal scoring effort by Johnaldo who threw off his first game lethargy to slam in 4 goals against The Crisis!

Next game on Thursday!
