Moston Juniors Reds 2 v 4 SCJFC Whites ....... A fantastic game today and a great advert for Junior Football saw the Celts go exactly one year unbeaten, the last time they lost a game was March 19th 2010 to Moston Jrs Blues 3-2..The team started brightly creating a chance in the first few seconds of the game. Moston are a very capable side though the Whites where having most of the possession. Against the run of play Moston took the lead which seem to stun the celts. A foul midway inside the Mo...

 Chaddy End 2 v 5 SCJFC Blues..............By Alun Ireland...................... A much improved second half display put the game beyond Chaddy End as the Blues notched their second win on the spin. The boys made a sluggish start – not pressurising the ball or the opposition – and struggled to put any passing moves together. But they were still unlucky to fall behind when Chaddy End scored direct from a corner. The Blues’ heads rarely drop these das though, and th... Read the rest of this article...

Stalybridge Celtic Whites 1 vs 1 Moston Jnr Blues....................By Tim Kieran...........................................   A well below par performance today from the boys played out a very scrappy game with Moston being easily the better of the two teams, Celtic played like strangers with stray passes and no understanding between the players which was out of character, for most of the game the ball was in the air or out of play which didn't make a good spectacle. To be fair Moston ... Read the rest of this article...

SCJFC Blues 2 v 1 Boundary Park A .....................By Alun Ireland.................... The best performance for several weeks saw the Blues take all three points against Boundary Park. The boys got back to winning ways with this well deserved victory. The margin could have been a lot more except for some fine saves by the opposition goalie. Stalybridge started well, having a lot of possession without ever really testing the keeper, Owen providing good width and Jack tight at th... Read the rest of this article...

Stalybridge Celtic Blues 2 v 3 Failsworth West Lions ..............By Alun Ireland................... Points dropped for the Blues as they had an inconsistent day on the pitch. The boys played well in patches, but never really looked like beating a Failsworth team that worked harder than them. The Blues were unlucky to go behind when a speculative first half effort from distance found its way into the goal, but heads did not drop and the boys probably had their best spell following the se...

Failworth Dynamos Blues 1 v 1 SCJFC Whites .......................Two weeks on the bounce these teams have met and Failsworth today had a game plan to stop the whites from playing. The whites should have been two or three up in the first five minutes, though some good sames and the post helped keep Failsworth in the game. The whites were continually camped in their opponents half, though Failsworth were quick to close down space especially in front of goal, Eventually the deadlock was broken w...

 Failsworth Dynamoes 1 v 2 SCJFC Whites.........by Tim Kieran................   A scrappy game from the start found both teams struggling to string a couple of passes together. Failsworth starting slightly better than Celtic with the opponents doing well to close down the Celtic boys and giving them little time on the ball, which normally Stalybridge thrive on. Not long into the game and Celtic got caught out with too many players pushing up and leaving Joe a little exposed, Failswor... Read the rest of this article...

Stalybridge Celtic Blues 1 v 1 Northside ............By Alun Ireland............................... A much improved performance from the Blues saw them dominate for periods against a strong Northside team. The boys put some recent poor performances behind them to play some excellent pass and move football, with strong tackling and good shape making it difficult for their opponents. At the start, Northside threatened first, but Deacon was equal to the shot. Then the Blues took co... Read the rest of this article...

Boundary Park A 2 V 1Stalybridge Celtic Blues ...........By Allun Ireland............. The Blues dropped points again against a lower placed team when they were outplayed by Boundary Park. The boys forgot what they had learned in training and too often found themselves on the wrong side of their opponents. The fact that both goalkeepers were joint men of the match says everything you need to know about the game – a collective off day where the goals against could e... Read the rest of this article...
