Stalybridge Celtic Whites 1-3 Chaddy Park By Lee Greenwood  Whites Team - Lewis, Sam, Luke, Jack, Macca, Callum, Josh Stalybridge were in Cup Final action this weekend against Chaddy Park at the home Stadium of Curzon Ashton. After coming out of the tunnel onto the pitch to the Champions League music, the Whites were first up. The teams were going to have to combat blustery conditions and a big pitch which had started to cut up following an earlier game. The Whites started well and were spending plenty of time in the Chaddy Park half. Some good link up play between Callum and Macca earnt the Whites two early corners. The Whites were getting on top and weren't allowing Chaddy to get into any rhythm. With the pressure being applied all over the pitch a Chaddy Park defender played the ball back from the half way line which the keeper picked up despite being under no pressure. A free kick was awarded on the edge of the box. The ball was layed off to Callum whose shot ... Read the rest of this article...

DIVISION .2. CUP FINAL STALYBRIDGE CELTIC ‘BLUES’ F.C. 0 v 3 CHADDERTON PARK By Alan Davies The Cup Final was the last competitive game of the season for Celtic up against a good Chaddy Park. The Whites up first had the best of the first half with a stunning goal from Callum, but Chaddy Park ran out winners 3-1. This left the Blues with a lot to do. They had most of the possession early on but could not get the goal needed to maybe put Chaddy Park under pressure. The longer the game went on Chaddy Park became stronger as the Blues pushed up to get the goals. Unfortunately the gaps appeared at the back and within a minute of the end  a 0-0 score line turned  to 0-3 and cup dreams were over. Great credit to all the lads who worked hard on a pitch that did not help and blustery conditions. Man of the match Markus for his defensive duties.

Blues 3-1 Reddish MOM William Frankish, William H A relatively straight forward win for the Blues who have played better this season and lost. They were a few decent chances created in the first half, William F shooting just over from a cross from William H, William H then had a free-kick just pass the post. The opener came when Jay run down the right and shot to the far post, it looked like it was going in but Robbie made sure. The second shortly followed when William H had a shot saved by the keeper and Robbie again was on hand to tap in. Reddish pulled one back in the second half from a corner which was badly defended by the boys. The third and last goal came from a set play that had shown promise throughout the match where William F corner to the back post found William H, where previously Will H had half-volleyed it, this time he headed it in.  Whites: 2-2 Draw MOM – Lewis Ellis & Joe Titterington   I’m sure whoever witn...

MOM: Jordan Mirza Goalscorers: Jordan Mirza (3), Ben Bateman (2) Champions As per usual the boys made it difficult for themselves. Racing into a 2-0, and then 3-1 lead within the 1st 15 minutes. Then they lost momentum, thought the game was over and were nearly punished by a determined Heyside team (3rd place finishers in the league) Only 1 game has been lost by the boys, back in January to lose their 2 year unbeaten streak at home but other than this they are deserved winners of the league. We have the league cup to play in a few weeks time. Jordan Mirza was chosen by Heysides Manager as Man of the Match (His 6th of the season), along with his 61st goal. This is more than any other player in all Tameside Leagues. Ben Bateman chipped in with his 26th/ 27th of a very fruitful season. The strangest moment of the day was the lack of celebration by the boys, who simply sat on the floor emotionally exhausted and dumbstruck.

MOM: Danny Edwards Goalscorers: Ben Bateman (2), Jack Meredith, Jordon Mirza, Liam Riley, Jack Searle Another win, 1 games to go. Should we win the next game we will be crowned Champions. 4 Years ago we had no team, it was the impossible dream, now its a possibility and in our own hands A long way to go still however

Stalybridge Celtic Whites 2-2 Denton Youth By Lee Greenwood Whites Squad - Matthew, Luke, Sam, Josh, Callum, Jack, Macca It was a big game this weekend with points needed in both games to secure promotion against Denton. The Whites started well and were unfortunate not to take the lead when Callum saw his shot tipped onto the bar by the Denton keeper. The game was being played at a fast pace and flowing from end to end. The Whites came under pressure especially from Denton set pieces. What appeared to be a narrower pitch than usual meant throw ins were landing right under Matthews bar and he had to be on hand to claw the ball out on more than one occasion. Both teams looked to break on the counter attack and it was Macca running on to a through pass who had the best opportunity of the game so far. The Denton keeper was alert and managed to snuff out the chance before Macca could get his shot away. The Whites took the lead shortly after from one of their set pieces. A ...

STALYBRIDGE CELTIC ‘BLUES’ F.C. 3 v 2 DENTON YOUTH By Alan Davies   This was the final league game of the season with Stalybridge requiring 3 points to gain promotion to the first Division. The venue was the new Stockport Sports facilities. Denton had proved a difficult side previously and it was the same this time. The Whites secured a draw with a tough, scrappy game that did not have much football. This left the Blue’s needing a win and two valuable points. The first half was tight with Denton scoring first with low shot across Mat. Nick equalised before half time with a deflected shot. The second half saw the Blues were under pressure from the start but it was Jordan who scored with header from a corner. Unfortunately Denton went straight to the other end to scored the equaliser. There were chances at both ends with both keepers making good saves. Nick had one of his best games and worked hard in the midfield and creating chances for Jordan. It was Lewis who...

STALYBRIDGE CELTIC ‘BLUES’ F.C. 1 v 1 F.C. SPORTS By Alan Davies   The Whites had just won to a good F.C. Sports side which did not represent their position in the league. The Blues were about to have a tight game also which was only decided in the closing seconds. Both teams started off well with chances at both ends but no finished product. This is how it went until half time and it looked like 0-0 would be the outcome. However late in the second half the Blues had a corner which broke to their forward who outpaced the defence and a fine finish in the top corner. This looked as though it would be the result until a mistake from the keeper with a clearance straight to Callum who finished in the bottom corner. Man of the Match Nathan

Stalybridge Celtic Whites 1-0 FC Sports By Lee Greenwood Whites Squad - Lewis, Luke, Nick, Macca, Sam, Jack, Shay, Cameron, Aaron In a game of very few chances it was Jack who was the Whites hero scoring the only goal of the game from the penalty spot. Both teams struggled to keep possession of the ball throughout the first half and were guilty of allowing the ball to go out of play on numerous occasions. The game was mostly played in the FC Sports half but some strong defending and long balls from the back kept pushing the Whites back. It was Jack who the best chances were falling to and he wasn't afraid of shooting from distance. One effort was flicked on by Shay inside the box but that chance went just over. Jack also saw another fine effort from distance after good build up play from Shay. On the stroke of half time the deadlock was broken. The referee pointed to the spot after a FC Sports player had handled Maccas goal bound shot. Jack stepped up to take the pen... Read the rest of this article...
