By all accounts a hard fought victory in hot conditions was well deserved for the battling Celts. The grass could have done with another cut so the ball was slow in the pass but the Celts controlled the game well, apart from an initial set back when the home team scored first! But Tano equalized and then Ronnie crashed in a great winner from 20 yards out. The defense were great throughout the game and Dave Slade played very well in midfield with great support by Ronnie and John
The Celts now have 17 points from the first 8 games of the season with only one game left in the Summer season away to Wilton. If they can keep their great from going they will end the first half of the season on 20 points, only 3 points behind their total for the whole of last season!
MAN OF THE MATCH; I wasn't there but according to Ronnie the backs were great and Jim O in particular ( obviously no lunges or rough housing of the opposition forwards must have happened! )
So MOM is going to Jim O!
D was killer in the last 5-6 mins of over time, defending an onslaught of corner kicks. With a little bit more composure in the box, we could have 3 more goals, and to be honest, Eli's didn't have many good looks at Dustin at all. looking forward to Sunday's Wilton match. I hope we have a big squad, to help us secure another 3 points. GO CELTIC!!!
