U9s Whites Take Their Foot Off The Gas!...And Nearly Pay For It!!

Stalybridge Celtic Whites 1 vs 1 Moston Jnr Blues....................By Tim Kieran...........................................

A well below par performance today from the boys played out a very scrappy game with Moston being easily the better of the two teams, Celtic played like strangers with stray passes and no understanding between the players which was out of character, for most of the game the ball was in the air or out of play which didn't make a good spectacle.

To be fair Moston gave the Celtic boys no time on the ball and deservingly Moston took the lead in the first half. The second half was slightly better from Stalybridge but they still found it difficult to string a couple of passes together, this showed today with Celtic resorting to playing long balls and chasing the game looking for an equaliser, the goal did arrive, finished by Oscar after good work from Dec. Celtic could have gone on and surprisingly won it with Dec hitting his effort onto the post. All in all a game to forget, the Celtic boys knowing they put in a poor performance, to be fair they have been outstanding over the last three seasons, and the way the game went today a draw was a good result. Hopefully the boys can pick themselves up and look forward to the next game it will be another tough one as the remainder of the fixtures are all the top half of the league.

M.O.M Tom and Archie.
