Greg Earls RIP
05/02/2010
NEWS of the death of Mr. Greg Earls, Knockthomas, Castlebar, has stunned the Mayo football community. One of the finest players ever to grace the game in the county, Greg was a leading player for Castlebar Celtic in the late 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s.
Aged 60, he was a member of the club’s Connaught Cup winning side of 1980 and he also captured Michael Byrne Cup medals with Celtic in 1979 and 1981. He was manager of the Celtic side that won the Mayo League title in 1983 and was selected on the Mayo League ‘Dream Team’ in 2004. Greg was captain of the Mayo team that reached the Oscar Traynor Cup final in 1981 and he served as chairman of Castlebar Celtic for a period.
One of his former team-mates, Fergus McEllin, paid a glowing tribute to him, both as a player and a person. He stated: “He was among the best ever players to wear the jersey of Castlebar Celtic. There is no question about that. He was a strong character, both on and off the field of play. “If he had something to say, he would say he. But he never held a grudge. That’s the way he was and we always respected him.” Greg, who also won a county GAA championship title with Castlebar Mitchels in his youth, retired from Eircom last July following long and dedicated service. Burial took place in the Old Cemetery on Thursday following Requiem Mass for the repose of his soul in the Church of the Holy Rosary, Castlebar.

U-14’s Heart Rightly Rewarded
03/02/2010
Castlebar Celtic 3-2 (aet) Mervue Utd
The clubs U-14 side advanced to the 4th Rd of the SFAI Cup following a hard fought victory over top Galway side Mervue Utd in Celtic Park last weekend. Celtic starting without the injured duo Jordan Loftus and Jerry Hunt were first to settle and dominated the early exchanges with the impressive Colm Nevin unlucky to see his goal bound effort strike the Mervue upright. It looked at this stage that the Mervue back four were set for a difficult afternoon from the afore mention Nevin and his striking partner Noe Baba. The home were dealt a blow when Colm Nevin had to be with drawn from the game with a head injury and this seemed to spur the away side on. With the midfield quartet of Gary Walsh, Kenneth McDermott, Ronan Carolan and the impressive Jamie Ivers holding their own in a tough battle, this allowed them to support Baba and substitute Cillian McNeela. The home sides’ hard work was rewarded when Noe Baba coolly finished a fine mover involving McDermott and Michael Hall. Mervue came storming back but found it difficult to breakdown the excellent back four of Michael Hall, Mark Nolan, Liam Irwin and Stephen Walsh and goalkeeper Eric Eaton who was in superb form throughout the game. The second half saw Utd get the goal their play deserved and this was soon followed up by a second from their impressive striker. The introduction of Keith Mulchrone and Alex Smith added much needed drive to the home side and with 2 minutes remaining following a long period of pressure Noe Baba got a deserved equalizer when his shot was deflected into the Galway net. The two periods of extra time saw both sides spur chances to win it but following a flowing movement involving Smith and Baba who played in the hard working Ronan Carolan and he made no mistake to give his side the lead and victory with 1 minute remaining. Managers Padraic Cresham and Michael McDermott were full in their praise for never say die attitude of this talented side.
Rangers Put To The Sword By Young Hoops
03/02/2010
Castlebar Celtic 8-0 Corrib Rangers
The Gabriel Downes and Barry Redmond’s Mayo League Champion side were just too good for Galway City side Corrib Rangers in the 4th Rd of the Connacht Cup in Celtic Park last Saturday. Celtic took a three nil lead in at half time thanks to two goals from Stephen McDermott and one from the impressive Sam Hastings. The home side had to start without the injured duo Jason Hunt and Conor Murray and Fintan Borotto who was away for the weekend. The excellent display of the starting 11 and the superb display by all the substitutes showed the strength in depth available to the management. The back four of Kenny Downes, Stephen McDermott, Anthony O’Boyle and Colm Quinn never allowed the away side a sight of Paul Walsh’s goal. The Celtic midfield of Barry Redmond, Mark McDonnell, Karl Benson and Sam Hastings were outstanding and dominated the game for the full sixty minutes and supported the hard working strikers Kieran Padden and David McNicholas who had his first game after been out of the game with a broken arm. The second half saw the introduction of Michael McDonald, Peter Minogue, Evan Heneghan, Robert Fallon and Jonathan Morley and they all played their part in this excellent display. Further goals from Hastings, McNicholas, Fallon, Padden and Morley added the Rangers woes. This victory booked a Q-Final spot for the young hoops
Five Star Performance By U-18’s
02/02/2010
Castlebar Celtic 5-0 Galway Hibs
Celtic U-18’s marched into the 4th round of the FAI Youth Cup with an easier than expected 5-0 win against Galway city side Galway Hibs.. Celtic began this game in a purposeful manner, setting their stall out early by attacking from the first whistle with Jamie Fallon and Nigel Naughton both testing the reflexes of the Galway Hibs keeper in the opening 10 minutes. The breakthrough came in the 18th minute. A Cian Costello corner was headed towards goal by Shane Moran but was directed away from goal by the arm of a Galway Hibs defender leaving the referee with no option but to award a penalty. Nigel Naughton stepped up and coolly slotted the ball home. It wasn’t all one way traffic however, with Hibs coming close on one occasion with their striker shooting just over. Celtic then doubled their advantage in the 30th minute when Aidan Walsh and Cian Costello combined to set up Fergal Durkan whose initial effort was saved before eventually forcing the ball over the line to leave it 2-0 to the hosts at half time.
The second half was only 4 minutes old when the game was eventually finished as a contest when Stephen Fitzgerald, Nigel Naughton and Fergal Durkan all played their part in a move which saw striker Jamie Fallon tap in from close range. Now Celtic were really bossing with David Stenson rarely called in to action and well protected by his excellent back four of James McGauran, Shane Moran, Roy Cresham and Richard McGreal. Celtic were attacking with menace and anyone who attended the game will have witnessed two of the finest goals seen in Celtic Park for a long time. With 15 minutes to go, the move of the match starting with keeper David Stenson and involving Cian Costello, substitute Adam McGowan, Nigel Naughton and Jamie Fallon eventually saw Fallon cross for the incoming Fergal Durkan who headed the ball home to finish off this brilliant team goal. 5 minutes later and Celtic finished the game on a high. Another excellent team goal saw Aidan Walsh and Jamie Fallon combining with Nigel Naughton squaring the ball to Fergal Durkan who finished off this sweeping move to claim his hat-trick and Celtic’s 5th.
All round, a fantastic display from Celtic against one of the top sides in the province and one which manager Paul Large will be very pleased with. An away trip to East Utd awaits with the winners marching into the last 16 of the competition. Celtic: Stenson, McGauran, Cresham, Moran, McGreal, Costello, Walsh, Fitzgerald, Durkan, Fallon, Naughton: Sub; McGowan

Friendly Stalemate
25/01/2010
Castlebar Celtic 2-2 Corofin Utd
A very enjoyable game of football was witnessed by the few hardy souls that turned up for this under 15 challenge at a very cold Celtic Park on Sunday last. Both sides have qualified for the last 32 in Ireland which will be taking place in a few weeks time.

An early goal by the Galway side was equalised by Nevin nearing half time with a fine finish. The second half was evenly fought with the Corofin side again taking the lead with eight minutes remaining. Dara Singh produced a peach of an equaliser, lobbing the 'keeper when put through by Barry, immediately after the Corofin score. Celtic would like to wish John,Eugene and his side the best of luck in their next encounter against Douglas Hall (Cork)for a place in the last 16,while Celtic will welcome Cherry Orchard (Dublin) to the West with a view to achieving the same
