STALYBRIDGE CELTIC ‘A’ 2 v 2 Reddish Vulcans By Alan Davies   The last game of the season saw a distinct game of two half as the old cliché says but this was true. Vulcans who had thrashed Celtic 7-0 in their previous encounter started the better and put Celtic under pressure. This soon brought about a goal and Vulcans could have had more but for some strong defensive work and goal keeping. However Vulcans did get another and went in at half time 2-0. The second half saw one of the best h... Read the rest of this article...

STALYBRIDGE CELTIC ‘A’ 2 v 3 WEST END WOLVES By Alan Davies   A difficult encounter with a very good side in the West End Wolves saw Celtic’s first defeat in a number of games. Celtic got off to a slow start, which allowed West End to dominate the first minutes and quickly had two goals without Celtic having a shot on goal. Celtic then began to press forward with Sam and Jack working hard. The first break came as a cross from Jack was to be converted by Sam but a West End handball gave Ce...

Stalybridge Celtic 2 - Chadderton Park Lions 7 By Joanne Wood Another glorious day of sunshine but Celtic faced tough opposition against a strong side. The Lions took the lead almost straight away followed by a good few shots on goal by Celtic, but unfortunately not in the back of the net.  The lead was then increased by two further great goals from the Lions.  Will's defending and a cracking save from Reece prevented the lead being bigger, however it was only a sh...

Broadway Celtic 3 Stalybridge Celtic 3 By Joanne Wood This was another warm sunny day and today's match was definitely a game of 2 halves, with Broadway dominating the game in the majority of first half play.  The game got off to a worrying start with the opposition scoring 2 goals within minutes of kick-off with Stalybridge barely getting any possession of the ball.  Things went from bad to worse with Stalybridge conceding an own goal leaving them trailing behind by 3-0.

  STALYBRIDGE CELTIC ‘A’ 2 v 0 CLAYTON JUNIORS By Alan Davies   As Clayton were a player short it was another easy win for Celtic. It probably should have been more but some backs to wall defending kept the score at a reasonable level. Pressure on Claytons goal came straight from kick off as the extra man was evident. Celtics first goal came through an own goal after a good strike for Sam that the goalie could not hold. With no subs available Celtic had all players with a ... Read the rest of this article...

Stalybridge Celtic B 1 - Chadderton Park Griffins 5 By Joanne Wood Saturday saw a climate change with temperatures higher than the team are used to and this seemed to drain them of their usual high energy levels.  They faced an uphill struggle from the very start of the game by conceding 2 goals in quick succession.  After a short while the team did settle down and there were some good runs down the wing and strong crosses from Rhys but unfortunately there was nobody lying in wai...

  STALYBRIDGE CELTIC ‘A’ 4 v 1 MOSTON JUNIORS By Alan Davies   This was an easy win eventually for Celtic. The possession was 90% Celtics as they pushed forward to overrun a weakened Moston side. The only job Mathew had was to pick the ball out of the net. It was however not until Nathan had opened the scoring did Celtic begin to make the score look more convincing. Marcus took full advantage and scored a hatrick with some good midfield play allowing him to get into the box. Th... Read the rest of this article...

BOUNDARY PARK B 1 - 3 STALYBRIDGE CELTIC B  by Joanne Wood.  The glorious sunshine had a positive impact on the team as they sealed a good win over Boundary Park B for the second time this season. The first half was an even game and the opposition had a couple of shots on goal which Reece managed to save.  The game got more exciting as Stalybridge had lots of scoring opportunities when virtually every player managed to take a shot on goal but not actually managing to get the ball ...

Stalybridge Celtic 0 - 5 West End Wasps by Dave Bennett   Spring is here at last though it didnt feel like it down at Failsworth today with a strong cold westerly blowing. On the pitch Celtic got off to a good start with the whole team combining well against a strong West End side. George and Will were strong at the back  and  Rhys, Lewis & Chancely worked hard to try and find the break through but to no avail. HT 0-1. The second half saw Megan and Daniel come on and ...

STALYBRIDGE CELTIC ‘A’ 1 v 1 FAILSWORTH DYNAMOS ‘A’ By Alan Davies   Celtic were looking for revenge over Failsworth after a 1-0 loss earlier in the season. The game opened with a kick off that Mathew just managed to get a leg on and deflected wide. This was a feature of Failsworth’s play with their big defender making Mathew work in front of goal. After the early encounters Celtic began to put their passing game together with Ryan and Sam linking up front. However the Failsworth’s defend... Read the rest of this article...
