U8's B v Failsworth West Lions Sat 26th Feb

Stalybridge Celtic B 3 - Failsworth West Lions 0 By Colin Wood
 
Celtic's good form continued with an excellent all round team performance which resulted in a well deserved win. For the first 10 minutes there was not a lot between the two teams with William and Ethan working well in the defence, both making good shot stopping tackles and with Tom making some good saves the game remained goalless.  Celtic's first goal came from a break away with Lewis finding George with a good pass and George in turn found Ryan who coolly slotted the ball into the net.
Stalybridge started the second half how they finished the first half with the team running and tackling hard and with the introduction of Cameron who made some good runs down the wing, Celtic's second goal came from a cross from Lewis who found George on his own in the box who made it 2-0.
Despite what looked like a nasty injury, William stood his ground on many occasions to break the play up and with Cameron and Ethan breaking forward, Stalybridge increased their lead with a shot from George which hit the post and went in to the goal off the keeper. Stalybridge continued the hard work without conceding a goal and the game ended in a 3 - 0 win.  Man of the match Cameron
