- OUR PARTNERS
Having won their previous match and in good spirits, the U17 Premier team welcomed Malahide United to Porterstown.
As on previous occasions they went a goal down from a corner following a lapse in concentration. The visitors had a chance to go 2 up from a free kick just outside the box only being denied by a great save by Stephen Mason. After 30 minutes it was still 1-0 to the visitors when Michael was switched to the left wing and Abasse was put up front.
This brought an extra edge to the attack and 5 minutes later Morgan Kynes scored the equaliser. Two minutes after that Celtic were 2-1 ahead with a fine strike from Adam Russell who timed his strike perfectly over the keeper's head.
The second half brought more pressure on the visitors when Jabari Crichlow scored from close range, Jabari scored a fantastic second from 30 yards after spotting the keeper off his line and took his chance. It stayed 4-1 to the home team until 15 minutes from time when Malahide pulled one back but Jeremy Mputu hit a perfect cross into the box onto the head of Abasse Camara who is on top form lately and he struck the back of the net. Malahide are a good side and battled well but it wasn't to be.
This result helps Celtic climb a few places in the premier league and the team are quite capable of matching any other in this league.
final whistle - Castleknock 5 Malahide 2.
