MATCH REPORT; Wallingford Morelia 0 Madison 0

A game that saw Madison Celtic spurn numerous gilt edged chances to score ended as a 0 0 stalemate against Wallingford Morelia. The Celts had gone in to this game against the bottom team hopeful of claiming all three points. But poor finishing and bad luck meant that the Madison visitors could only claim a solitary point.

Man of the Match;  Another great display by Dan M earns him the  MOM!

NEXT GAME; Sunday August 30th vs Wallingford Morelia

We have a chance of all three  points this weekend with a game against Wallingford Morelia. They are having a pretty tough season...yes tougher than us!  So make it an even worse one for them by winning this Sunday! Looks like we have a much stronger squad than last week.

As it stands today ( with a couple of players still to check in ) we have 6 subs. 3 for defense, 2 for middle and 1 up front.  So no giving me crap on the sidelines!

MATCH REPORT; Waterbury Albanians 4 Madison 2

A real backs to the wall game by all accounts against Waterbury Albanians, a team riding high in the league standings. With a small squad of 12 players it was always going to be a tough ask but the Celts played well and with new player James on board actually had a real attacking edge. A final score of 4 2 doesn't really do justice to the great saves by Dustin that kept the Celts in the game and the superb goals scored by the visitors. The Celts held the home team at 1 1 until they tired but the goals sounded fantastic.  James G had a fantastic debut game and scored a goal of the season contender. The other, scored by Tano was a great sweeping move with Ronnie moving the ball to James G who then found  Johnny I overlapping down the right wing. He nipped past their left back and crossed a great ball into the box where Tano was on the spot to slam it into the net.

The Celts are so close to being a really good team, just need some luck!

MOM; Great performances by JohnnyI, TomP and James but the MOM goes to Dustin for some superb saves that kept the Celts in the game

PS  I wasn't at the game so no pics but i tried to imagine the man of the match Dustin in LEGO style!
