STALYBRIDGE CELTIC ‘B’ 1 – 2 WEST END WASPS By Alan Davies   Celtic’s good run of results came to end with this defeat by West End Wasps. A change of set up with two at the back left Celtic’s midfield a bit lightweight against a strong West End side. The first half finished 0-0 but could have been 1-0 to Celtic. Ryan’s reliable finishing was just a bit off when one on one with the keeper. West End’s marauding style of play up set Celtic’s pa... Read the rest of this article...

Stalybridge Celtic A 5 v 1 Moston Junior Reds Celtic were down to the bare 6 players again today and they were caught cold right from the kick off. Moston capitalised on Celtic’s loose possession and scored from close range after powering straight through the middle. Stalybridge didn’t panic and Sam as skipper today led the team well with good communication, support, great composure on the ball and threaded some neat passes through the midfield. It wasn’t long before Celtic we... Read the rest of this article...

STALYBRIDGE CELTIC ‘B’ 4 – 1 FAILSWORTH VILLA By Alan Davies   A lacklustre performance in the first half from Celtic saw the teams go in at half time 0-0. Celtic had all the pressure in that first half but a lack of passing and movement meant they did not test Villa’s keeper. The second half was a different story with Celtic settling to their task with some good passing which put pressure on Villa. A good passing move down the left allowed Ryan to score his first....

Failsworth Dynamo Juniors 1-1 Stalybridge Celtic A Celtic were down to a bare 6 for the game today and after a delayed kick off made a sloppy start. Failing to clear their lines in the opening minutes led to a Failsworth shot through a crowded penalty area leaving Josh in goal unsighted and with no chance. After the poor early start Celtic pulled their socks up and played some excellent football with the Dynamo keeper busy in goal for the remainder of the half. Jack had a number of efforts save...

Stalybridge Celtic B 6 - Failsworth Dynamos 3 By Colin Wood   Like the Spring weather the Stalybridge team had a spring in their step and had their shooting boots on for this game. Celtic started the game brightly with Cameron making some strong runs down the left wing but failed to find the net with a series of shots on goal, however it was the opposition who took an early lead. Celtic then applied more pressure in Failsworth's half and direct from a free kick Ca...

Stalybridge Celtic A 3-2 Chaddy End         After last week’s disappointing performance, Celtic were keen to get back to playing the football they can. The first few minutes were evenly matched with both teams having a couple of half chances and competing well for the ball. Chaddy End were forced to shoot from distance as Alex and Callum held firm with Rhys and Sam on the wings tracking back well. However Celtic were unfortunate to go a goal behind f...

STALYBRIDGE CELTIC ‘B’ 3 – 2 MOSTON BROOK By Alan Davies   Another good win for the ‘B’ team against a strong Moston Brook side. Celtic are looking like a team who play for each other. From both attack and defence the whole team are playing well. Ethan covered most of the pitch in this game and made some timely tackles, which allowed Cameron to push forward down the left. The first goal came from such a move, Ethan’s good work and Cameron picked the bal... Read the rest of this article...

Boundary Park A 3-1 Stalybridge Celtic A Celtic started the game well putting pressure on the Boundary defence and having a few early chances. Rhys hit the cross bar with a free kick before Callum scored the opener, a terrific looping shot from distance. Alex was comfortable at the back with Marcus and Jack seeing plenty of the ball on the flanks. However after the goal Boundary came more and more into the game with Josh making a good save before Boundary eventually scored the equaliser shortly... Read the rest of this article...

Stalybridge Celtic B 3 - Failsworth West Lions 0 By Colin Wood   Celtic's good form continued with an excellent all round team performance which resulted in a well deserved win. For the first 10 minutes there was not a lot between the two teams with William and Ethan working well in the defence, both making good shot stopping tackles and with Tom making some good saves the game remained goalless.  Celtic's first goal came from a break away with Lewis finding George wit...

Stalybridge Celtic A 3-0 West End Wolves The second cracking game with West End in as many weeks, this time against the Wolves. Celtic started the game brightly with good possession and some excellent passing resulting in shots on goal for both Marcus and Rhys. Sam broke down most of the Wolves moves in midfield and played some great balls between Jack, Rhys and Marcus at the front of the Celtic attack. West End made it difficult with a determined defence and gave Celtic a warning of their own... Read the rest of this article...
