DDSL 10F: Celtic went down to St Mochtas in Porterstown. It had all started so well when Andrei Ungureanu hit a screamer from 20 metres that flew into the net, giving the visiting keeper no chance. Celtic maintained a high tempo and could have been out of sight with the chances they were creating. Sean Hosford was particularly prominent putting in a great shift, back defending and supporting the attack. Then on the stroke of half time Mochtas broke free and scrambled home from close range. 1-1 at half time. match action
The second half saw Celtic take their foot off the pedal and were made to pay. Mochtas took 2 of the chances that fell to them. They could have scored more but for the brilliance of James Whooley in the Celtic goal who was undoubtedly the man of the match. He pushed balls over the bar, dived down to save, and came out to clear. A performance that had the opposition manager giving James the highest praise. more match action
Overall the scoreline probably was a bit harsh on the home side who had put in a battling performance, but then you have to take the chances when they arise. 1-3 match photo action

However, David Ilumah was having a fine performance in goal and kept out any goal-scoring chances. The game was finely balanced until Daniel Fagan split the Raheny defence with a long through ball that Liam Tobin calmly put away. Raheny continued to battle but the game was put beyond doubt when Winston Wang crossed a ball to Jonathan O'Hanlon who stroked home the 3rd goal. Final score 3-1.
NDSL 17A:
Castleknock Celtic 2 – Malahide Utd 1.
Celtic left it very late to secure the 3 points against Malahide Utd in Porterstown today. Malahide were first to score thanks to a well-placed shot past the outstretched arms of keeper Luke Kearney. This was just the 3rd goal conceded by this very tight defence in 2015.
Although Celtic were just about in control of the outfield battle it took until almost half time before Darren Doyle picked up a clever pass from midfielder David McCabe and placed it in the corner of the net.
The second half was, just like the first half was very closely fought (albeit within the rules) with both teams having a number of half chances. When the game seemed to be heading for a draw, Celtics leading scorer, Cory Power with a fine solo effort secured the 3 points with just 4 minutes on the clock.
