Well Beaten Yeats !
Boyle Celtic appear to have emerged from their mini slump with a very convincing win over Yeats United in Carney village last Sunday. Goals from Michael Corrigan, Brian McCrann and Noel McKenna seeing off the challenge of the sligo men in a fairly comfortable game for the Boyle side. The first half did not produce any goals but it did contain some nice football, mainly from Boyle. Yeats did contribute some good passages of play but offered very little in the final third. Kyle Suffin in the Boyle goal had little to do but claimed comfortably when Yeats got the ball into the box.
Celtic attacked with much more purpose in the second half and a deflected shot fell to Michael Corrigan who slotted home. Yeats were forced to push out for an equaliser but this only left more space for Corrigan and Calpin to exploit. Good work down the left by both, created enough room for Brian McCrann to shoot from outside the area, making it two nil. Yeats were a spent force now and it was a surprise that Celtic only added one more. Sub Johnny Dwyer, swung in a very dangerous corner and an un-marked Noel McKenna made no mistake from 6 yards. Dwyer prodded through a couple of sweet passes after that but John Connolly and Michael McHale failed to finish.
Next Sunday, Super League action again and Coolera Rovers come to Boyle. Every effort is being made to have this game played under lights on Saturday night. More news on this later in the week.
Team: Kyle Suffin, Alan Duffy, Colm Brennan, Noel McKenna, Owen O Donohoe, Paul Flanagan, Aaron Calpin, John Connolly, Brian McCrann, Michael Corrigan, Michael McHale. With: Martin Mullen, Johnny Dwyer, Thomas Tymon, James Carty.

STRANDED !!! - 28/02/10
Boyle Celtic’s super league challenge looks stranded for 2010 after a heavy defeat in Strandhill last Sunday. In truth, Celtic didn’t play that badly and have often taken 3 points this season playing worse. It was just one of those days where every bounce went for Strand and against Boyle. James Carty scored Boyles goal but it was the only highlight in an otherwise dismal day for the Boyle lads.
Perhaps there was a touch of cup hangover after the Ballinasloe defeat last Sunday because Boyle didn’t start the game until it was 20 minutes old, they were a goal down and but for Chris Casey would surely have been two or three down. An overhit corner from Strand was headed back across goal and after bobbling on several heads it was nodded in from 6 inches by Donnagh Oates. Suddenly Celtic woke up and dominated the rest of the first half with James Carty netting a fine equaliser. Boyle created a couple of good chances but could not take the lead. With seconds to go before the break, Strand hit a cross from the right which drifted on the breeze, hit the cross bar and dropped in. It was going to be one of
those days.
The second half began with another kick in the guts for the Boyle men. A dubious free-kick was very well struck by the Strand player but Chris Casey made an excellent save down to his right. Sod’s law took over from there however and the ball struck the crossbar. It bounced out to a Strand player who headed up in the air, only for it to land on the crossbar and bounce out again. This time Donnagh Oates had an easier task than his earlier goal from 6 inches. As Boyle chased the game, gaps were appearing in their defence. Strand were awarded a penalty when John Connolly was adjudged to have tripped the Strand centre forward. The referee was the only person in Strandhill who saw the trip but at the risk of repeating myself, it was one of those days.
The league looks beyond Boyle now but they will have a huge say in who gets to collect the title when both Carbury and City United travel to Boyle. Hopefully Celtic can get Brian McCrann and Killian Conboy fit for the run in.
No game next Sunday in the Super League as the Oscar Traynor Cup is on.
