Celtic Attack with a Digger !
John Connolly was the star of Boyle Celtic’s hard fought point against league leaders and favourites City United of Sligo. Despite heading home a great goal, into his own net, John Connolly produced a stirring display at the heart of Boyle’s defence. Celtic have been out of sorts recently with some very disappointing performances but against City they got back to the energetic, passing game that was the norm in the first half of the season. Other performances of note were Michael Corrigan, Colm Brennan, Aaron Calpin and a stirring display from new striker Sean Duignan.
Celtic started brightly and attacked from the off. Their defence of Corrigan, Brennan, Connolly & McKenna looked comfortable as City struggled to get going. With 5 minutes gone, Paul Flanagan picked up a ball 30 yards out and probably couldn’t believe the space he was afforded. He duly accepted the invitation to shoot and let fly with a screamer to the top corner. Boyle 1 nil up. Things were going well for Boyle and the very influential Connolly seemed to be in front of every attempt from City United. It was ironic then that Connolly in his quest to defend everything headed a ball past the advancing Kyle Suffin for a fortuitous equalizer to City. (35 mins). It didn’t phase him however because he was excellent throughout.
Both sides had good chances to score again but none were taken. Sean Duignan was proving a real handful for City’s defence and he opened up many gaps for McKillen, Calpin & Flanagan. For City United, Gareth Kelly and Keith Nibbs were a constant danger but when Kelly was given a straight red for foul language, City’s resolve seemed to fade.(70 mins). James Carty was introduced for the injured Flanagan and he added pace to Boyle’s midfield. Chances came and went and the game finished 1-1, but it was certainly far from a boring draw.
Team: Kyle Suffin, Michael Corrigan, Colm Brennan, Noel McKenna, Owen O Donohoe, Paul Flanagan, Aaron Calpin, John Connolly, Brian McCrann, Lee McKillen, Sean Duignan. With: Chris Casey, Johnny Dwyer, Thomas Tymon, James Carty.
