The Celts got back to winning ways with a robust performance against a stuffy Hamden team. A strong Celtic eleven took an early grip of the game against the leagues bottom team but they found it difficult to break down their highly defensive formation. Having said that, strong play by Johnny B and David in the heart of the midfield allowed the forwards to get plenty of the ball and some really good scoring chances. In fact, as the first half rolled on the Celts could have scored several times if they had hit the target or thumped the ball a bit harder right in front of goal (video evidence to come!). As frustration started to grow, and maybe a bit of doubt, the Celts finally got the break through they needed when a bit of scrappy play resulted in the ball falling to David, who slotted it into the net for the go ahead goal and a half time lead.
The second half was more of the same as the Celts dominated and the back line dealt easily with any break away attacks from the visitors. Up front Ravi was having a great game probing and running at the opposition but it was James G that knocked in the second goal for the Celts. Another scrambled play led up to the goal but there was no mistake from James as he made sure the ball hit the back of the net. The third and final goal came from Todd and allowed the Celts to run out well deserved 3 0 victors. The Celts only need to win their last 4 games ( maybe only 3 ) to make promotion certain!
MAN OF THE MATCH; some great play by Johnny I, La Boca and Alex at the back as well as Ravi up front but MOM goes to Johnny B for bringing some much needed dig into the midfield
