It's a Six Point Weekend!

This weekend could turn out to be the make or break time for Madison Celtic's season. A game against Morelia on Saturday followed by a big game against our closest rivals Guilford on the Sunday. If both games are won the Celts will be sitting pretty in the promotion spot 5 points ahead of Guilford with only 3 games left in the season. Of course all those games have to be won but as it stands today we are in the driving seat and all we have to do to get promoted is win all of our next 5 games!


NEXT GAME; Saturday 22nd October, Morelia!




The first game of the weekend double header will be against Morelia this Saturday at Town Campus field with a kick off at 9am!! It's important we have a strong squad for the game and ideally that we end up with 3 points and no injuries! This will be our fourth game against Morelia and so far we have enjoyed two draws and a win. They are a tough team to break down and certainly, in our first two games against them, a team that is difficult to kill off. It will be important for us to take our chances and to be tight at the back. Remember that this team has a habit of falling down when even a gentle breeze touches their shirts......be aware and be smart!


Not sure if we can drink after the game as we have to get off the field quickly for a kids game. I'm sure we can make up for that after the Sunday game!

Try and get there early so we can warm up. We still have a habit of several players straggling in just minutes before kick off or even after! Not good....we need to be warmed up and ready to hit them hard from the first whistle..... ok? See you Saturday!!





NEXT GAME; Sunday 23rd October, Guilford!


The second half of the double header weekend will be against our big rivals Guilford Bell Curve. This is an away game that kicks off at 10 am and hopefully we will have secured 3 points from the previous days match up with Morelia! I don't have to tell you how important it is for us to win this game. Our promotion chance could all rest on this game. If we lose it will be very difficult to catch up unless Guilford have a crazy end to the season. So, let's not rely on that...let's take matters into our own hands an win the game! We do not want to be standing at the end of 90 minutes talking about regrets. This is not the game where you say "OK, I'll try better next time" this is the game that you bring it! No excuses, no drinking the night before, no playing with an injury, no moaning...just focus on what's right for the team and what will bring out your best performance.
Our record over the 3 games we have played Guilford has been mixed; one tie, one loss and a victory. The 3 0 win was a comprehensive win but Guilford competed all through the match and we will have to be at our best to replicate that.

Now is the time to stand up and be counted!
