15s (Sunday) 4 - Springhead 1

Today the 15s played Springhead (the first time the two teams have ever met) with the Celts coming out comfortable 4-1 winners. In the first half the Celts took the game to Springhead and squandered a few chances, before Dylan battled his way through their defence and his shot deflected off the keeper and rolled over the line. George later then added a second, Dylan broke down the right crossed to George who played a neat one two with the post before slotting the ball home. This rallied Springhead and in one of their attacks a speculative shot found Charlie off his line and the ball looped into the net. The second half went much the way of the first, with Danny chasing what looked like a sure thing for their keeper to collect on the edge of his box, however, he made a mistake and Danny was on hand to slot the ball home. Later in the half Charlie redeem himself for his earlier error by saving a penalty, Springhead broke down the left and a mis timed tackle by Harry resulted in the penalty, Charlie judged right and parried the ball off the line. Things then got a little heated and a few yellow cards were soon followed by a red for one of the Springhead players. With the extra man advantage the Celts pushed on and George picked the ball up just outside the box, saw the keeper was off his line and with a sweet strike lobbed the ball into the back of the net. A good first outing today, I think the fact we had three subs and kept swapping the players round helped us, as the lads were getting a bit tired towards the end.

Scorers: George 2, Danny, Dylan
