The U12's won Delamere 5.2 to go second in the league. Delamere were very organised & out battled us at times. We got a good result but it was not our best display of the season, we tried to do too much in midfield and didn't let the ball go quickly enough. George, Sean, Callum G & Morgan never put a foot wrong in defence and were the best players today. Ethan didn't have a lot to do but was quick off his line when called upon. Alex tried to hold the midfield together, be... Read the rest of this article...

The U12's won against Curzon Ashton 5-1 to progress to the quarter finals of the Manchester County Cup. After a 7 week break since our last game the lads put in a great performance. Once again, team spirit, winning every challenge & some nice football won the game for the bridge lads. We looked strong in every position. Ethan had a quieter game in net but when he was called upon he did a couple of decent saves and his distribution was great all day. Gaskin & Fletch were sol... Read the rest of this article...

The under12's beat Reddish Vulcans 4-1 in the Manchester County Cup. The lads had to score a few wonder goals to get a result today against an impressive Vulcans team. Once again it was down to hard work rather than flowing football as Reddish are a strong outfit. They played 3-5-2 with their 3 defenders having really impressive games and their midfield dominating play early on.  We started to get into it with Josh & Alex really having to work hard and kept sliding in...

The U12's beat Manchester Corinthians 4-3 in a fantastic match with both sides producing some great attacking football. Corinthians started strong, packing the midfield and controlling play. Josh & Fletch were being over run but we got a goal on the break with Kyle adding to his impressive tally this season chipping the keeper with a great finish. Aidan produced 2 fantastic reaction saves to keep us in the game but before long they equalised. We moved Alex inside leaving ... Read the rest of this article...

The U12's beat Curzon Ashton 3-2 in a great open game. Both sides played attacking footbal that went from end to end with the Celtic lads just holding on in the end. We started the day a little apprehensive, with no Aidan, Fletch, George or James and still missing Gary, Sean & Lewis we were down to the bare bones against a strong Curzon team. After 10 mins we could see the Celtic lads were up for it. Gaskin played his first game at centre half & didn't put a foot wrong all day,&nb... Read the rest of this article...

The U12's lost 2-0 the 3 D Dynamos in a game they could have won in the first half. With both teams having excellent keepers it was going to take a mistake to score, and so it proved. Celtic started strong and created some good early chances, we worked very well down the left wing with James creating some nice link up play with Kyle & Jamie with Ethan having his best game of the season overlapping from full back. Alex & Stucky on the other wing were also working well & we put i... Read the rest of this article...

The U12's drew 3-3 away at Heyside who currently hold top spot. The Celtic lads went up 2-0 early on in the game but lost 3 quick goals in the second half. To their credit the Celtic lads fought to the end to get a late goal to share the points which everyone agreed was a fair result. Heyside play some really nice one touch football and take full advantage of their 4G plastic pitch which allows them to play their passing game. If we all played on this surface then I'm sure the country ... Read the rest of this article...

The under 12's beat Urmston Town 10-0 in the Manchester County Cup. The lads enjoyed a goal feast as they continued their impressive start to the season.  The league matches have been really hard so far with the lads giving 100% to get the results. The game today proved a nice break and allowed them to express themselves. Every player took the opportunity to try their skills but impressively they kept their shape very well. The team didn't play a long ball all day... Read the rest of this article...
