The second half saw Celtic take the initiative with Jordan making good progress down the left and Cameron moving up front. However it was Nathan who bro... Read the rest of this article...

Failsworth Villa 0-2 Stalybridge Celtic Whites By Phil Read The whites got off to a good start today with early pressure and some great link up play between Rhys, Nic, Jack and Luke.
