Celtic win Quay derby in U14 Dundalk Schoolboys League

U14 Premier Division

Quay Celtic 6 Quay Olympic 0

Quay Olympic were last season’s U13 Division One run-away winners, but they are finding life very tough in the Premier Division this term.

Their third defeat in a row was this heavy loss in the club derby game on Sunday morning, a defeat which gives the other Clancy Park outfit the bragging rights down the Point Road.

Quay Celtic, on the other hand, were last season’s U13 Premier Division runners-up behind Rock Celtic and this victory keeps their new season challenge on course.

Quay Celtic did drop two points midweek in a 2-2 thriller with Ardee Celtic, but Rock Celtic are still the team to beat in this division after a 0-1 win in Ardee on Sunday morning.

Quay Olympic almost got off to a perfect start when a brilliant dipping effort from distance by Jason Breen was heading for the top-corner, but Daniel Shields managed to tip the ball around the upright.

The Quay Celtic net-minder continued his recent top-form after producing a stunning penalty save and two follow-up attempts in the midweek game against Ardee.

Quay Celtic responded from the early scare with two quick fire goals by top-scorer Jack Watters in the eight and 10th minutes and a superb strike by Kieran McArdle in the 21st minute gave Celtic a three-goal half-time cushion.

The Olympic side tried to respond, but there was no stopping the rampant Celtic team with Watters completing his hat-trick early in the second-half and McArdle and Scott Hearty added two more as Celtic ran out emphatic winners.

Quay Celtic: Daniel Shields, Morgan Tobin, Nathan Quinn, Conall O’Callaghan, Tiernan Cassidy, Evan Wynne, Conaill Savage, Oisin Coleman, Kieran McArdle, Jack McArdle, Jack Watters, Scott Hearty, Conor Devlin, Cathal Bradley, Sam Malone
