Stalybridge Celtic B 0 - 4 West End Wasps (By D Bennett) What a day, beautiful winter sunshine with little wind, perfect football conditions and the B's more than matched their superior rivals. Solid defending by Will saw their star man cut off time after time and once again Reece was magnificent in goal.  All our players held there positons well but a free kick half way through the 1st half saw the Wasps in front. Undetered the B's threaded some attacks together and thought they had fo... Read the rest of this article...

STALYBRIDGE CELTIC A 4-3 BOUNDARY PARK A (By S Kewley) A fine 2nd half comeback saw the A team continue their good recent run of results. On a perfect day for football both teams started strongly and passed the ball around well. Ethan and Alex were called upon in defence on a few occassions and both got in some important tackles and interceptions. Boundary Park restricted Stalybridge to only a couple of chances with Sam shooting from distance but unfortunately going wide. It was looking li... Read the rest of this article...

STALYBRIDGE CELTIC ‘A’ 6 v 1 STAYBRIDGE CELTIC ‘B’  By Alan Davies   Saturday brought the much, awaited showdown between the ‘A’ Team and the ‘B’ Team. The game began with both teams showing strong defences with little being given by both sides. The opening goal came from a mistake by Kai in the ‘B’s goal, which came from pressure by Nathan.

STALYBRIDGE CELTIC ‘A’ 5 v 0 BOUNDARY PARK JUNIORS ‘B’  By Alan Davies   Celtic’s good run of form carried on with a comfortable win over Boundary Park Juniors. The first half saw a hatrick from Nathan to take his tally to eight and the ‘A’ teams top scorer.

Stalybridge Celtic B 3 - 3 Failsworth Dynamos A by  Dave Bennett   This was one of our best displays and we were unlucky not to win the match. We started a little shakey with Dynamos starting the stronger, a nice piece of skill from Will in defence saw him backheel the ball out of danger and the ever dependble Megs was solid as ever, but the well deserved man of the match for some tremendous saves and clearances was Reece in goal. Dynamos broke through twice in the first a... Read the rest of this article...

STALYBRIDGE CELTIC ‘A’ 6 v 0 MOORSIDE JUNIORS (By Alan Davies)   Celtic took their recent good form into this match and provided a faultless display to dispatch Moorside Juniors. Ryan and Nathan bagged one each in the first half with Celtic on top for most of the half. Mathew was only called on a couple of times to keep the ball out as Moorside’s No.3. caused the most problems for the Celtic defence. Jack and Dan came on for the second half with Nathan providing cover in goal for Ma... Read the rest of this article...

By Dave Dickin   A hard game for all today against a very strong Chaddy End team.  From the kick off it was hard going.  Chaddy End took the lead 5 minutes in and then they never looked back.  We went in at half time 3-0 down thanks to some good saves from Kai. The second half we tried hard with Rhys and Marcus battling hard for the team,  we just couldnt get passed a big, strong Chaddy End team. In the end we lost 7-0 but we tried hard all the way till the ... Read the rest of this article...

STALYBRIDGE CELTIC ‘A’ 2 v 0 MOSTON BROOK (by Alan Davies) Celtic provided a confident display in wet and windy conditions to see off the challenge of Moston Brook by 2-0. Celtic started brightly with some good passing and moving to put Moston under pressure. This play soon paid off with an excellent through ball by Jack to release Sam to score in the corner past a helpless Moston keeper. The pressure continued throughout the half with Moston struggling to clear their lines. Any Moston attacks ... Read the rest of this article...

Stalybridge celtic B  1 - 3 Failsworth West A By Dave bennett   Today we started by playing Marcus on the left wing instead of his more defensive roll at the back, with Connor slotting in at left back along side William. Both Rhys and Marcus put some good crosses in and Lewis was unlucky not to convert at least two good chances which was down to good defending by Failsworth. The second half saw the introduction of Megan and George, it also saw the rain, all the kids played very well... Read the rest of this article...
