U7's A v Failsworth Dynamo A Sat 27th March

STALYBRIDGE CELTIC ‘A’ 1 v 1 FAILSWORTH DYNAMOS ‘A’ By Alan Davies

Celtic were looking for revenge over Failsworth after a 1-0 loss earlier in the season. The game opened with a kick off that Mathew just managed to get a leg on and deflected wide. This was a feature of Failsworth’s play with their big defender making Mathew work in front of goal. After the early encounters Celtic began to put their passing game together with Ryan and Sam linking up front. However the Failsworth’s defender seemed to get the best of Sam and cleared the ball on most occasions. On one of these occasions the defender moved up and made a powerful shot that beat Mathew. The second half saw Jack and Alex come on but an early injury saw Alex replaced with Marcus. Jacks strong running gave Celtic the edge in the second half and it wasn’t long before a corner lead to a deflected goal, which Jack would claim as his. A feature of Celtics play was the quick kick outs from Mathew and good passing from the dead ball situation. This helped Celtic to bring play forward quickly. Celtic pressed for the winner but 1-1 was probably a fair result. Man of the Match Mathew.
