STALYBRIDGE CELTIC BLUES ‘4’   –    MIDWAY ‘5’ By Alan Davies

A very exciting game with goals and controversy a plenty. Celtic conceded in the first seconds as Midway pressed forward from the kickoff. The next goal came from an attempted kick out from Mathew that hit a Midway player charging the ball down. It was felt that this should have been disallowed however the ref allowed the goal. Celtic then went 3-0 down with a scrambled goal with Mathew having the ball kicked from his hands. The half time whistle couldn’t come quick enough to give Celtic time to re group. This they did and came out in second half more positive which led to an early goal from Callum Dawson. Soon after Midway scored again from a long range effort. Celtic however kept battling against a physical team and got their reward with a goal from Jordan to make it 4-2. Celtic then pushed forward and looked the better team. Callum Rawson then scored to make it 4-3 but within seconds  Midway had restored their advantage. Then came the best goal of the game from Lewis who latched onto a ball and smashed it first time into the roof of the net. Celtic had only seconds to equalise which they nearly did with Arron hitting the post. Then a shot from Jordan was easily saved. At this point Midway had eight men on the pitch which was not spotted by the ref. Man of the Match: Cameron.
