Celts 1 v 6 Ely Rangers
Celts did the double over Ely Rangers last season, but Ely got their revenge as they beat Celts for the 3rd time this season.
Too many players were below par in the first half as Ely ripped into a 4-nil lead. The greens were handed a lesson in movement, communication and ball retention, whilst the Ely defence was rarely troubled.
After the break, Celts ball retention improved and they started to take the game to the opposition more, but Ely still managed to increase their lead. As the game wore on Celts looked more and more likely to get a consolation goal. Three free-kicks whizzed narrowly wide of the Ely goal while at the other end, replacement keeper
Declan Court pulled off a miracle stop which lifted the Greens. Celts solitary goal came from
Ben Roach as he stooped to head home.
Overall a disappointing game for Celts and they will have better days than this!
