BALLYPHEHANE CELTIC got their campaign off to a flying start in the Grandon’s Toyota First Division  with an eye-catching win over O’Brien’s Scaffolding in the match of the week at Crosshaven last Friday night.

With both teams testing the waters in the early stages, Conor Callaghan latched onto a long clearance from defence in the 26th minute to cross for Ryan Constant to score. 

Craig Williams doubled the lead within two minutes of the resumption of the second-half when he turned in Aaron West’s corner at the far post. Six minutes later Sean Nagle was on hand to capitalize after Robert Tier’s looping cross came back to him off the keeper. 

It would take a long range strike from Bohdan Krykunov to beat Celtic keeper Jamie O’Sullivan before Christopher Bowen scored the goal of the game in the 78th minute.

Marlboro Trust 4 

Jay Bazz Barbers 2

Trust bounced back from the previous weekend’s shield defeat to the Weigh Inn to topple Jay Bazz.

In the final six minutes further goals from Silva and Jaouhari sealed the points for the hosts.

After Callan Dempsey added a fourth in the 72nd minute there was still time for Dripsey’s Jamie Torpey and O’Brien to exchange late goals.
