A sunday afternoon Kickoff at Blocksages, for a place in the Semi Final! Stalybridge started well and for 20 minutes we were giving the Griffins a game until a few defensive errors cost us dearly. A lack of communication between the back 4 and the keeper really put us under pressure. 4 goals conceded in a lacklustre 20 minute period of the first half meant Stalybridge had a mountain to climb in the second half, unfortunately we had no response and in the second half conceded once more. ...

The pitch had to be inspected early by the referee due to persistent rain overnight and this morning, Fortunately we managed to get rid of the worst of the the water off the pitch and the game started on time. We started the game with a 343 Line up which we haven't played this season and with a new addition to the Squad with Connor. We controlled the first half  well with lots of passing and movement by an energetic midfield and lively forwards with a back line providing solid cover ... Read the rest of this article...

Yesterday the 15s played Prestwich and lost 2-4. The Celts once again had a depleted squad. Scorers: 

A blustery wind was blowing across Blocksages field Saturday morning. Denton won the toss and decided to play the first half with the wind at their backs this proved to be a help to them in the creation of their goal which they scored early on! Slack start again by Celtic. We have to stop teams scoring in the first few minutes Perhaps an earlier bedtime for a few of the lads wouldnt go amiss. 1-0 Danny had a shot from the edge of the box which the keeper spilled in front of Jack who made a ...

The 15s bowed out of the League Cup today with a 2 - 3defeat to Kingsway. The game was always going to be tough as we only had players (Ted and Dylan injured, Callum poorly, Charlie unavailable, Joe M no show). To be fair however, the lads did themselves proud and after going 2 down, pulled it back to 2-2 before conceding the winning goal. Scorers: Danny, OG

Score 2-3.  Goals: Danny x 3. After a time and fixture change to get this game played, a slow start by Celtic helped Barhill take the lead in only the second minute. They scored with a shot that bobbled from the edge of the box straight through the defence and past Charlie who didnt see the ball until the last second and reacted well but couldnt get there in time. 1-0, 2 mins.  Celtic took around 25 mins to get going but until this time coped well with the pressure applied by Ba...

Today we completed the league double over Hollinwood. After a three week break we surprisingly started the game well having most of the play and several chances going up the slope with the wind behind us, however, we did not convert and went in at half time 0-0. Second half, Hollinwood took the lead with a well taken free kick 0-1. This to some extent made us work a little harder and we eventually levelled with a well taken free kick from Danny 1-1, who later got his second and what turned out t...

Stalybridge Celtic  4:1 Saints Celtic started well with 5 or 6 chances to score in the first half with some excellent football. A storming run by Ted H followed by an excellent pass to Dylan H who settled himself then struck home to the keepers right hand side 1-0 A corner floated in by George E found Jack L who had ghosted across the front of the defenders at the near post and applied a deft finish with his heel from 6 yards out 2-0 Dylan H came off after taking a knock on the ankle f...

Today following a collective ten minute nap at the start of the second half the Celts bowed out of the Cheshire Cup. In the first half we went 1-0 up following a good free kick from Danny, which the keeper fumbled and Joe H was on hand to slot the ball home. The first half ebbed and flowed with the Celts using the offside trap to full advantage. Second half we didn't get started until we had conceded 3 quick goals. After this we got our act together and managed to pull one back curtesy of George... Read the rest of this article...

Result 2-2. If we had statred how we finished today I am sure we would have won the game. As it was we went in 1-0 down at half time, conceded another goal almost form the re start 2-0 down. Then with about 10 minutes left we woke up (literally) and JP scored from a corner (which looked like an OG) and then Mitch scored a cracker form outside the box 2-2 game over. On another day (perhaps with no parties the night before and a 2pm kick off) we would have won. Scorers: JP, Mitch
