Castlebar Celtic 1-2 Derry City

Castlebar Celtic 1-2 Derry City

.....respectful

hard luck lads but nonetheless a respectfu result as you say.how did the game go (obviously other that the result) should yee have had a point out of it in the end or were derry worth their win?

Derry were well worth their win. They could have had another two by half time. Celtic were more competitive late in the first half and early second half and limited Derry City to a couple of half chances. Celtic had their own chances but Sean McHale needed more support up front. Celtic will have to up the tempo at this level if they are to make an impression. They could have snatched a draw near the end but Derry were in all fairness the better side. Celtic can be happy with their first outing but will need to improve.

Derry deserved their win. They had most of the chances and the better possession but Castlebar Celtic battled bravely and could have snatched a draw in the last few minutes. Derry's pace at the start of the game was too much for the Celtic rearguard and Ryan and Minogue were caught flat on several occasions. They settled after about half an hour and started to create some of their own chances. Celtic can improve and they now know the level they need to maintain if they are to do well in this competition.

There was a nice crowd of at least 200 at the game on a pleasant night. Well done to all at Celtic for bringing football at this level to Mayo. We should all be out on Saturday nights supporting a Mayo team.

[pixiehead]

Good fast game. Celtic gave a good account of themselfs. Can only expect them to learn from this initial year. €5 entry was sensible and good value. :cool:

Firstly, must agree €5 (2 for students) is good value and will not stop anyone from attending. Secondly, as someone involved with another Mayo club, it was great to go to and see a Mayo team playing at this level and hopefully all of Mayo will get behind them this year. City were obviously the better side, however the gap was not that big and with a liitle more experience at this level the club, management and players will gradually get there. Much will depend on the support, so lay aside the local rivalries and get out and support a local team.

Tonight will be my first bout of Schizophrenia, but good luck to Dec,Harry and Paul Hegarty.

[Closing Time]

Read PB article in the CT today, see he is still going on about the West Utd game. Not surprised he never mentioned Celtic's entry into the LOI, bad form considering all the bullsh**te we have to read about his team.

what can i say the wind caught the door as i was leaving, a misfortunate coincidence

[kingkong]

I hope celtic revert to 4-4-2 and have a real go at Finn Harps,they have not won in 4 games and confidence is probably low...if they get an early goal i can see castlebar coming out on top.

[1924]

I really think that Celtic will get a result tonite,They gave a good account of themselves against a good technical derry side,who I have to say were worth there win.The qualaties they showed against derry will stand to them tonite.Good luck lads

[hoop4life]

celtic 0-4 finn harps

didn't play great tonight. scoreless at ht. celtic had two great chances to go 1nil up. harps superior fitness showed in the second half. they weren't 4 goals better than celtic though. nice crowd of about 150-200 i'd say.

Poor Pitch

Iorrais def not 5 goals better,

Celtic had poor communication ,no passion and no accountability, it all went wrong on the Sat morning before the game. Lost three players before and during the game. But still Iorrais deserved perhaps a two goal victory. Even 5 months of planning can mean that if the lads don't want to be there and win it wont happen. Tough one on Sun again, but there will be a number of changes 5 in total i think

[pinero]

pitch was tore up after an u18 game on the thursday played in savage rain,Iorras well worth their 5 goal win couple of crackers as well.

Castlebar Celtic B Vs Partry @ 2 30 Sunday

[TheBoss]

I am a little confused about a player called James Minogue, did he join Galway United from Celtic and then rejoined Celtic a few weeks back or is he on loan or is their 2 James Minogues.

Thanks.

PS: Drogheda United 'A' 1-2 Castlebar Celtic

[hoop4life]

elsewhere, u13s unlucky to loose 3-2 to salthill devon in sfai semi final.

finally, u16s won mayo cup after defeating ballina 4-1.

[theboy]

good first win for celtic away from home. anyone at the game or have any report on it?

was at the game, Droggs were a very young side and a bit on the small side too. Celtic played well and found a lot more room than the last two games. We were strong up front and it should have been more than two one. Droggs put on the pressure towards the end and Matty had to come off so that reduced us to ten men as all subs where used. Alan Mc broke well from their corner and went one on one with their keeper which resulted in a penalty to us and their keeper sent off. We missed the pen too. Minny got injured again about 20 min into the game and may be out for a while.

Good 3points so. the result will help everyone involved. doesnt sound good about minny, hopefully he will return soon.

cant see minny around for a while unless he wants to dislocate it again and take another six weeks off.

Celtic B could have lost by a cricket score yesterday, I only saw the last half hour but chance after chance was either wasted or saved. Surely there must be more players available to the managment or it could be long season. Partry were a decent team but no more than that.

[rava]

Maybe there was chances earlier in the game as I said I only saw the last half hour in which at least 5 good chances were missed or saved.

Celtic had a few good chances also in fairness. Partry took the 1st goal well and the Celtic keeper messed up for the 2nd, they had maybe one other clear chance when they had a man clean through.
Maybe could have got 3 goals, think 5 is a bit generous.

Partry have a nice squad, bit of pace and experience.

Celtic are on a sharp learning curve, yesterday the lads put in 100%, on another day could have scored a few.

They may have been around a while but how many of them played Premier league football? No disrespect to Div 2, but its a big difference playing in the Premier.
1/2 the team, can only think of 3 lads, who would the others be?

Best of luck to the U-12, U-16 & U-18's in the connacht Cup finals at the weekend. Celtic, Mervue & Salthill have two teams in the Cup finals and Celtic one in a sheild final. Not surprisng three best youth clubs in Connacht by a long way.

U16s should beat manorhamilton in shield final.
U12s vs. salthill and U18s vs. mervue will be very tight and too difficult to call.
wish all teams all the best

congrats to paul large and his troops on winning the U18 connaught cup yesterday. a fantastic display by the lads with peter dravins getting a hatrick.3.0 did not flatter them in any way and probably should have won by more. well done to all involved with the squad fantastic achievment

brilliant performance by celtic to win their third connaught youths cup in four years. they blew mervue away and mervue beat salthill in the semi final and salthill are now in the all-ireland final. this shows how strong this celtic team is and with a bit more luck they could have gone a long way in the all-ireland cup aswell. give this squad 2-3 more years and they can get celtic into the eircom league first division and should be more than able to hold their own. well done to paul and all the lads :D

[Closing Time]

Well done to Paul and the U-18 squad on winning the clubs third Connacht Cup in four years against Mervue Utd. The U-12's were just outstanding on Saturday what a great second half performance, if they had their Irish international the story would have been so different. U-16's were just to laid back and let the sheild slip away. Overall a great weekend for the club and the future looks bright at underage level.
