NEXT GAME; Sunday 24th April vs Morelia

Our first home game of the season is this Sunday at Bittner Park Guilford.  The field is just off Route 77 , 3 miles up from Exit 58 I95. It's a great field so no excuses about bad conditions affecting your smooth soccer skills !

It's a 10 am kick off and we are playing against Wallingford Morelia. Let's get there early and get set to grab the points!

Drinks at the team clubhouse after the game!

MATCH REPORT; North Haven 3 Madison 1

The new season started with a disappointing 3 1 defeat away to North Haven but there were a lot of positives to take away from the match. Some old faces back in the squad and some new ones gave the team a bit of a fresh feel. The game started off fairly evenly with some good attacking moves from both teams. Dave Slade was getting the ball through to the front line and the rest of the midfield were fighting hard for the ball. Unfortunately, Alex had to hobble off with a hamstring pull very early in the game causing a reshuffle at the back.  The away team kept fighting hard and it was actually a superb pass by Slade that found Tano on the edge of the box. The slippery striker controlled the ball well and slotted it past the goalkeeper to put the Celts one up. Unfortunately that seemed to be the high point of the game as shortly after that the home team got back into the game after a set piece move caught Dustin off guard and the ball spun in to the net for the equalizer. All tied at half time seemed fair but the second half saw the Celts struggle to get their passes to connect and the home team became increasingly confident scoring twice more to run out with an easy 3 1 win. Having said that Madison showed some great moves in the first half and were just short of some fitness in the second

Man Of The Match;  some good play by David, Tano and Ronnie but the first MOM goes to Johnny B for his hard driving approach in the first half

We have a great squad for Sunday and 6 subs available for most positions!  Jim O is a late drop out due to flu, Jody is opting out cause we have a big squad and La Boca is back but only for the 2nd half.
