STALYBRIDGE CELTIC BLUES ‘3’ –   FAILSWORTH VILLA WHITES ‘1’ By Alan Davies   An excellent game despite the weather by both teams. Celtic proved the stronger from a very close encounter with both teams playing good football. Failsworth nearly scored early but a sight touch from Mathew saw the ball hit the post. This seemed to bring Celtic to life and they put pressure on the Failsworth goal but some good defending kept the score at 0-0. The first go... Read the rest of this article...

Stalybridge Celtic Whites 3-1. Failsworth Dynamo's By Phil Read. First game of the season for the whites got off to a slow start and they looked a little edgy. Despite a lot of possession chances were limited with Josh finding himself the busier of the 2 keepers. Later in the half Nic was unlucky to be not awarded a goal with a short to the near post and Shay was put off balance as he was pulling the trigger. 0:0 at half time. Following some good defending from Sam and Alex the whites we... Read the rest of this article...

STALYBRIDGE CELTIC BLUES ‘4’ – BROADWAY CELTIC ‘0’ By Alan Davies   A good start to the new season with a comprehensive win for the Blues. With all the new players combining well to provide a good team performance. Blues scored early with a smart finish from Markus after good work down the left by Callum. The second came soon after and was the best of the game with Jordan playing a neat interchange of passes down the right with Markus and again a sharp finish... Read the rest of this article...

STALYBRIDGE CELTIC ‘B’ 0 – 3 MOSTON JUNIOR BLUES By Alan Davies   A rather damp end to the season both on and off the pitch. Celtic did not get use to the wet conditions and were under pressure for most of the game. Ryan was injured and Celtic missed his goals as they struggled to put  any pressure on Moston. Ethan was busy at the back and made some good tackles to keep Moston at bay. Mathew came into goal and Tom was up front but Celtic struggled with the ball skid... Read the rest of this article...

Failsworth West Tigers 1-2 Stalybridge Celtic A A heavy downpour before the game made conditions tricky for both sets of players with the ball moving quickly on a wet surface. Celtic made a good start, Sam linking play well in the midfield with Jack and Marcus on the wings and Rhys pressurising upfront. Stalybridge worked the Failsworth defence in the opening minutes and forced a number of good saves from the keeper with efforts from Jack and Rhys. The game remained a close affair with Alex hav...

Stalybridge Celtic A 5-1 Broadway Celtic The A’s were forced into making several changes today with the absence of Josh in goal. Callum kindly put on the gloves and settled well with some good dead ball kicks and quick throws out. Stalybridge were out of sorts in the opening minutes and uncharacteristically lost their shape in the middle, this gave Broadway a couple of early breaks which Alex dealt with superbly at the back. Sam moved upfront as Marcus received attention off the pitch, an... Read the rest of this article...

STALYBRIDGE CELTIC ‘B’ 5 – 0 FAILSWORTH WEST PANTHERS By Alan Davies   Celtic bounced back from last weeks defeat with a comfortable win. A small change to the team saw Mathew start in goal. Celtic began well and had most of the early play and put Panthers under pressure. The first goal came early with a through ball to Ryan who slotted home quite comfortably. The second  goal followed shortly with a strong shot from Ryan which was parried by the keeper. Megan was o... Read the rest of this article...

Stalybridge A 1- 1 AFC Clayton On this warm sunny morning Celtic started brightly, passing superbly, keeping possession and showing great composure on the ball. Sam had an effort saved in the opening minutes and shortly after almost scored. Evading 2 or 3 challenges going in on goal, and just about to pull the trigger, the Clayton defender made a last ditch sliding challenge saving a certain goal. Callum fed some great balls out to Jack and Marcus on the wings and both showed good energy gettin... Read the rest of this article...

Stalybridge Celtic B 2 - Moston Valley 1   Stalybridge breezed back to winning ways despite the blustery weather conditions with a good all round team performance. Celtic started brightly with Ethan looking lively in midfield making some good tackles with Will backing him up. Celtic were unlucky not to take an early lead after some good play from Lewis and Cameron, they found Megan in acres of space, she hit a sweet left foot shot which had a goal written on&...

Stalybridge Celtic A 0- 3 West End Wolves The fixture between these teams this season has been excellent, and this match lived up to expectations despite the score line. We started the game brightly, passing and retaining the ball in the opening minutes. Nathan led the line upfront and pressurised the Wolves defence, bringing others into play with Jack and Rhys on the wings. Celtic had a couple of half chances before the Wolves got going but an intercepted clearance gave them the lead against t... Read the rest of this article...
