Stalybridge Celtic U15s[ Sat } 1 v 2 Brendan Bees

First game of the season for the Saturday side and boy did it show.Gone was the flowing football of last season.We came up against a side who just lumped the ball forward and Celtic decided to follow this style of play. Hitting the ball down the middle for the forwards to chase after just did not work.The two central defenders for Brendan Bees had a field day mopping up everything that was thrown at them.On the one occasion that Celtic did pass the ball about we were awarded a free kick out side the box which Alex B fired into the far corner.This seemed to wake up the Bees and they soon equalized when a cross come shot looped into the Celtic goal. Half time and some strong words did not have any effect on the team. Mid-way through the second half and the Bees hit the winner with a curling shot from outside the box which the keeper had no chance of stopping. Man of the match was Dillon.
