Draw a Fair
Result in U-11A Brenfer League Game
It was a beautiful morning in Porterstown at the end of this Indian
Summer. Though it ended with honours even, this was far from a dull
game. It was a titanic struggle between two top class sides, both hoping
to challenge for honours this s
eason. It was extremely competitive from
the start. Celtic looked the more likely in the first half, and both John
McGarrity and Stephen Smartt went close.
But
Belgrove got stronger as the match progressed. And the
y looked like they
would nudge in front when
their left-full, Sam Gallagher, delivered a beautiful precision 
cross to the
head of Stephen Traynor, whose header was well stopped by the ever-reliable
Celtic keeper, Michael O'Keeffe. Man-of-the-match for this reporter was
Michael Gateley who marshalled the home defence throughout.
