U9s Whites Under Par, But Still Victorious !!

Stalybridge Celtic Whites 3 v 0 Midway.......................................By Tim Kieran................................

Not much to write about today, the game could have gone either way, Celtic were below par, but credit must go to the opposition, Midway gave it all they had especially their back line, the team not giving Celtic any time on the ball restricting our play to the odd good move. Both teams had chances to score in the first period and another day maybe could have seen two apiece at half time, today however the chances were spurned 0-0 at the break.

The second half was a better affair with Celts upping their game with Joe creating good Stalybridge moves from the back, the deadlock broken with Robson scoring a left foot volley from close range, this seemed to settle Celtic down a little and with Midways defence finally broken their heads dropped slightly. The second goal arrived after a strong shot from distance off Declan was saved well by the keeper the rebound stroked into the net by Robson for his second. The game ended 3-0 with a tidy finish from Callum after good work down the right and cross from Robson.

A tough game today with Midway clearly doing their homework , a well earned victory though and another three points in the bag and a clean sheet from Tom.

M.O.M. Joe, worked non stop to restrict Midway attacks !
