Castleknock Celtic resumed in Porterstown Park after the 2 month summer break at the top of the DDSL Youths 3 division. Their opposition was Greenhills Boys who are mid-table but it was Celtic who established early dominance. They were helped in no small way by a "Man Of The Match" performance from Gavin Byrne who scored 2 goals while providing one assist which helped the home team establish a 4-0 lead by half-time against the visitors. Thomas McDonnell and Adam Kaiser also scored during a very impressive 1st half performance. 

In the 2nd half, it was much more even contest, and Greenhills went close following a number of attacks. It was Daniel Fagan who scored the 5th goal for Celtic after a fine solo run, jinking his way past a number of defenders. Greenhills did pull a goal back through their striker Mark Morley with a fine finish which was a deserved consolation for their second half efforts. It was however Castleknock Celtic who continued to maintain their comfortable advantage until the final whistle, thereby sealing victory by a 5-1 margin. This win sets Celtic up for a strong challenge for a second successive DDSL league championship, having won the Cup & League double last season under their manager Bob Fagan and coaches Alex Regan and Gavin Keane.
