14s Back To Winning Ways

Today the 14s played Bolton BSS and came away with a 6-3 victory. For the first time since mid November we had all 16 players available for selection and in the end the availability of extra players told, with Bolton only managing to name eleven players. We changed our warm up today and started brightly, but this didn't stop us going 0-1 down within the first ten minutes form a freekick (that was given away cheaply) on the edge of the box, the wall fell apart and the ball ended up in the back of the net. This rallied the Celts and we managed to pull three goals back (two from George and one from Heapy). Goal of the day goes to George with an assist from Heapy. Heapy collected the ball on the right, beat his man and delivered a near perfect cross to George who vollyed the ball into the back of the net from six yards out. Halftime 3-1. In the second half the Celts started as if the game was already over, however, Bolton were much the brighter and managed to pull two goals back. 3-3. A few tactical changes later and the Celts re discovered their form. George got his goal to complete his hat trick 4-3. Jack then got a rare goal following a strike on the edge of the eighteen yard box slotting the ball just inside the post giving the keeper no chance 5-3. Super sub Tom then got his goal following some good work from Aidan on the right who crossed the ball into the box with Tom timing his run well to beat his marker and put the ball into the net at the near post 6-3, game over. A much better display today, with everyone playing their part.

Scorers: George 3, Heapy, Jack, Tom
