Failsworth Dynamoes 1 v 2 SCJFC Whites.........by Tim Kieran................
A scrappy game from the start found both teams struggling to string a couple of passes together. Failsworth starting slightly better than Celtic with the opponents doing well to close down the Celtic boys and giving them little time on the ball, which normally Stalybridge thrive on. Not long into the game and Celtic got caught out with too many players pushing up and leaving Joe a little exposed, Failsworth broke away and a tidy finish into the corner of the net found themselves one up.
Stalybridge seemed to shift up a couple of gears and started to play a bit of football and were rewarded with an equalizer only minutes after going behind, a well taken goal from Archie after receiving the ball via a great pass off Dec . Oscar and Dec were working well together interchanging passes, pushing Celtic forward looking to create an opening for the second goal.
Both teams were fighting hard to win the ball off each other with plenty of physical challenges and shoulder barges on show. Throughout the first half Tom was excellent and saved Celtic on numerous occasions with well timed clearances and his distribution was top drawer over the course of the game. 1-1 half time . The teams receiving their instructions for the second half .
The second half got under way with a beautiful lobbed pass from Oscar the ball found Callum who bore down on goal, unfortunately his shot went the wrong side of the post. Within 30 seconds Failsworth were on the attack and it was only great defending from Joe and Callum who did well to run back and help out. The game was end to end with both sides creating good chances, one of these was a Celtic shot, the Failsworth keeper did well to push the ball away, Niall pounced and from a tight angle he kept a cool head and finished well to make it 2-1.
Robson nearly made it 3-1 hitting the post from a free kick awarded to him after being chopped down running through on goal. Also Archie was unlucky not to get his shot away after his determined mazy run just petered out just as he was about to shoot after a vital Failsworth tackle.
The game should have finished 2-2 but for Tom who pulled off an amazing save right at the death.
A good game with Celtic having to work really hard today for the win.
Failsworth would have been disappointed not to come away with at least a share of the points.
The game was slightly spoiled by the non-stop shouting and complaining from the Dynamoes Coach.
M-O-M. Joe , worked tirelessly at the back to stem the Failsworth attacks.
Celtic Win the league and were 13 points clear. This is a fantastic achievement. Well done to everyone.
Next week the league gets split into two mini leagues with Cetic & Dynamos playing each other again. We need to work harder next week as today we never really killed the game off..
