MATCH REPORT; Albanian Eagles 3 Madison 1

The final game of the season ended in a disappointing 3 1 defeat for the Celts. Even though they had the majority of the play and scored early in the second half to take the lead they succumbed to there simple errors that led to goals. Through most of the game it looked like the Celts would be the winning team. Some great possession play through the first half led to some great chances for both teams in the  but it ended in  a goalless stalemate. The second half saw the Celts move up a gear and it was no shock when the took the lead. A great cross in to the box was met by Tom's head and the ball crashed into the net. Madison should have put the Eagles to the sword but they let them back in to the game with a couple of defensive slips that led to goals. The Celts kept fighting for the equalizer but the Albanians slotted another in and  then had a penalty that was brilliantly saved by Dustin. In the end the scoreline looked like a comfortable win for the Eagles but the Celts should have at least claimed a point.

MAN OF THE MATCH; Some good solid performances throughput the team but a great goal and strong play by Tim earns him the mom.

The final league position for the Celts was 7th and  I guess that should have been higher.. No doubt they had a tough start to the season but once the team settled down some better results were gained. Next season will be better!
