U11s STORM THROUGH IN THE CUP

Celtic under 11s cruised through to the next round of the Challenge Cup with an 8-0 defeat of Breaks 147 on Saturday.

Playing away for the first time this season, the lads had to get used to a full size pitch and it certainly took them a little time to get to grips with it. Despite dominating possession, chances were hard to come by in the first half, although by half time they did lead 2-0 thanks to Max Norman heading in Keenan Owen's cross and Keenan volleying in a loose bouncing ball in the box.

A change of formation for the second period brought it's rewards as Celtic scored a further six unanswered goals. Nathan Greenhalgh found Jack Wray down the left, he cut inside and his driven cross was directed into his own net by a defender to make it 3-0. Macauley Eyre then scored a six minute hat-trick by being in the right place in true centre forward style. Elliot Handley and Jack creating the first two for easy but neat finishes, while Macca ended a scramble from close range for his third and Bridge's sixth.

Luke Greenhough saved well from a free-kick before Daniel South found the top corner from a 22 yard free-kick for Stalybridge for number seven, and Keenan completed the scoring on full time, tapping in after Max's shot was blocked.

Well done lads, a great display on a pitch that was far too big. Jack was named man of the match for driving the team forward in the second half.

Final score: CELTIC 8 BREAKS 0
