Paddy Bonner's 1st team had another huge win on the road last Sunday when they defeated Bonagee United 2-1.
It was a terrific win, especially considering the side was minus five starters from the previous week.
Bonagee went into the lead after six minutes, but Keadue weathered the storm and were level just two minutes before half-time.
Chris Greene headed home after a wicked delivery from Danny McCready.
In the second-half, Keadue piled on the pressure and went ahead when Aidan McHugh scored a sublime goal just after the hour mark.
Lennon Cowley performed very well on his competitive debut for the 1st team, and he was denied by a last-ditch tackle, and then the impressive Jack Tracey saw his shot hit the post.
In the 75th minute, a handball on the line from Liam Ferry resulted in a straight red card and a penalty to Bonagee.
However, as the old adage goes, "Cometh the hour, cometh the man", Caolan Bonner produced a stunning save to deny Bonagee and we held on to our 2-1 lead.
Bonagee piled on the pressure, but our 10 men stood firm to earn another superb 3 points.
The win keeps us joint-top of the table with St. Catherine's FC.
On Sunday, we travel to Triagh-a-Loch to face Fanad United, which is one of the toughest venues to go in junior football.
But hopefully the lads can continue their fantastic start to the season.

Bhí bua mór eile ag an gcéad fhoireann faoi stiúir Paddy Bonner agus iad ag imirt as baile Dé Domhnaigh seo caite, nuair a bhuaigh siad ar Bonagee United le scór 2-1.
Bua den scoth a bhí ann, go háirithe ós rud é go raibh cúigear imreoirí a bhí sa chéad fhoireann an tseachtain roimhe sin in easnamh an uair seo.
Tháinig Bonagee chun tosaigh tar éis sé nóiméad, ach d’éirigh le Keadue an brú a sheasamh agus bhí an scór cothrom díreach dhá nóiméad roimh leath-am.
Chuir Chris Greene an liathróid sa líon le ceann tar éis seachadadh den scoth ó Danny McCready.
Sa dara leath, chuir Keadue brú mór ar an bhfreasúra agus tháinig siad chun tosaigh nuair a scóráil Aidan McHugh cúl den scoth díreach tar éis uair an chloig d’imirt.
D’imir Lennon Cowley go han-mhaith ina chéad chluiche iomaíoch don chéad fhoireann; stopadh é le taclaíocht ríthábhachtach ag an nóiméad deireanach, agus ina dhiaidh sin bhuail iarracht ón imreoir den scoth Jack Tracey an cuaille.
Sa 75ú nóiméad, rinne Liam Ferry teagmháil leis an liathróid lena lámh ar an líne; mar thoradh air sin, fuair sé cárta dearg díreach agus bronnadh cic pionóis ar Bonagee.
Ach, mar a deir an seanfhocal, "nuair a thagann an t-am, tagann an fear"; rinne Caolan Bonner sábháil iontach chun stop a chur le Bonagee, agus choinníomar an ceannas 2-1.
Chuir Bonagee brú mór orainn, ach sheas ár ndeichniúr imreoirí go daingean chun 3 phointe den scoth eile a bhaint amach.
Leis an mbua seo, táimid ar comhchéim ag barr an tábla le St. Catherine's FC.
Dé Domhnaigh, beimid ag taisteal go Triagh-a-Loch chun aghaidh a thabhairt ar Fanad United – ceann de na háiteanna is deacra le himirt ann i sacar sóisearach.
Tá súil againn go leanfaidh na buachaillí ar aghaidh leis an tús iontach atá curtha acu leis an séasúr.
Dé Sathairn, beidh foireann Eugene Byrne ar ais i mbun imeartha tar éis sos dhá sheachtain.
Beidh fáilte acu roimh Kilmacrennan Celtic FC ag Central Park amárach sa tráthnóna.
Beidh an cluiche ar siúl ar a 1 a chlog.
Ar aghaidh libh, a 'Gulls'!
