U9's Blues v Failsworth West Panthers Sat 1st Oct

STALYBRIDGE CELTIC BLUES ‘1’ –   FAILSWORTH PANTHERS ‘1’ By Alan Davies

A tight game that saw both teams creating chances but both defences were on top and gave little away. Nathan and Max at the back with a solid performance from Mat saw the teams go in 0-0 at half time. Celtic then had the best of the game with Callum Dawson creating space and chances down the left. However the Panthers defence just seemed to be in the right place to defect shots wide or over. Mat made good saves to keep Panthers long range shots out. The break through came as their keeper could not hold a shot from Callum and Aaron bundled the ball into the net. This should have been the win but from a rare attack the ball broke and a long shot found the top corner despite a desperate dive by Mat. Probably a fair result with Celtic keeping up their unbeaten run. Man of the Match. Mathew
