The Under 10's won Duky Tigers 7.0 & 2.0 to finish the season in style after the disappointment of losing 1.0 to Glossop in the semi final last week. The A team won 7.0 thanks to goals from Morgan, Josh & Jamie. It was a great team display right from Gary in goal who has finished the season in fantastic form. Sean won the man of the match again through a faultless display in defence, he read the game well & was covered by Luke when req'd. This was only Lukes second game in defe...

The B team had a great night with a 2-1 win over title chasing Glossop with a hard fought 0-0 for the A team. The B team looked strong from the start with a full stength team out. George had one of his quieter games but stood strong with Fletch at the back who drove the team on well. Lewis had a hard game against some big lads but held the team together with some great passing. Ethan & Thomas stole the show, both giving 110% on the wings, fantastic work rate tracking bac...

The Under 10's are to have open trials in May to form 2 teams next season. We plan to have a Saturday & Sunday team so will need extra players. We have already had quite a bit of interest as some lads want to play for Celtic just Sunday & stay where they are on Saturdays, or visa versa so all are welcome.  Please contact John Evans or Jon Tennant for further details.

A lot has happen since the last U10's update but both teams have benefitted from the extra training. The A team are playing great flowing football & having won the League cup are now in the semi final against Duky Youth A team having already knocked out their B team in the Challenge cup. The B team have lost Owen but look stronger for the return of Thomas after a month away. Unfortunately holidays and missing players have forced them to play tough cup games without a full strength side,... Read the rest of this article...

The Under 10's A team won Failsworth 4-3 in a thrilling encounter. The lads went 2-0 up inside 10 minutes after Josh Lowe first hit a low one, then did a Beckham from the half way line into the top corner. Failsworth got one back quickly before Stuckey chased down a crosscumshot off Alex to put us in 3-1 at half time. Failsworth got one back straight from the off in the second half to put the pressure on with Gary pulling off some great saves to keep us in it. Morgan was on fire, supported by St...

A brilliant day for the Stalybridge Celtic Lads. The A team beat Duky Youth 2-0 to reach the final of the league cup. The B team were looking strong at 0-0 only for the game to be postponed due to the heavy pitch. The A team won every ball from the kick off. They showed real heart & determiniation which won them the game against a very good Duky team.  Stucky worked his socks off, giving their defenders no time to settle. He linked well with midfield & always gave t... Read the rest of this article...

The under 10's had the luck against them both losing to Glossop, 3-2 & 2-1. The Scorpions had to start without Gary Flowers in net as we couldn't switch the game, which meant him driving 100 miles to make it by half time which the team really appreciated. as he was quickly in thown into action, being quick & brave from the the start. We started with Josh in net & after weathering in the early storm the Celtic lads got on top. Sean played well on his own in defence with Alex jus... Read the rest of this article...

The under 10's enjoyed a great day with the Scorpions winning 10-0 & Cobra's winning 9-0. The Scorpions started brightly in another new formation for the lads to try. We have to challenge them against teams from the lower half of the league & today they really understood what we asked them to do & it was great to see their development. Alex & Josh ran the show from the start, communicating very well & covering each other as they took it in... Read the rest of this article...

The Under 10's B team came from behind to win 3-2 away at 3D's, whilst the A team should be awarded a 1-0 win after Ashton United failed to turn up for the game. The Cobra's were evenly matched against 3D's A team, with both teams going for the win in a great open game. 3D's started brightly & got an early goal after some half hearted tackles from the Bridge lads, with Aidan Winterbottom keeping Celtic in the game on his first really busy day of the season, even saving a penalty to keep us ...
