🟢⚪ 10 man, goalkeeper-less Wee Celtic 3-1 Kehoes Bar FC 🟠⚫️
📝 Against all the odds your beloved Wee Celtic advanced to the next round of the TJ Moore Cup by beating Dundalk Winter League champions-elect, Kehoes Bar FC, 3-1 in true underdog fashion. Going into the game the Wee Celts unfortunately were missing their 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice goalkeeper which forced Manager, Leader, Legend, JP, to put on the gloves and deputise between the sticks 🧤😲
We unexpectedly took the lead but it was quickly wiped out as we headed into the break all square at 1-1. We regained the lead in the second half thanks to Jamie Farrell, but the celebrations were quickly dampened as a Wee Celtic player was harshly showing the red card minutes after we went 2-1 up 😔. A recurring theme against the dark arts tactics from Kehoes 🧙♂️
This left us with 10 men for the remaining 35 minutes and a mountain to climb if we were to progress to the next round. But the underdogs dug deep and defended superbly to keep the lead intact. There was even time left to add to the scoreline and we done just that when Dwyane added our third to send us through to the next round and end Kehoes 100% record that is no longer intact 💪🏼.
A fantastic effort by the lads sees us deservedly enter the hat for the next round of the Dundalk Winter League's biggest and best competition. The only competition this season that hasn't had any controversial rule or format changes mid-season 🤐 Enjoy the remainder of your week. Hail Hail ☘
