Rock Celtic opened their Premier Division account with victory over Ardee Celtic on Thursday night.
NEFL Premier Division
Ardee Celtic 1-3 Rock Celtic
Rock Celtic began their Premier Division campaign with a win away to Ardee Celtic on Thursday night.
Daniel Kerr gave the Blackrock men the lead after 10 minutes. However, Ardee pulled level in the early stages of the second period when Shawni Dowdall's delivery was turned into his own net by a Rock defender.
The Deesiders had opportunities to take the lead - young striker Bryan O'Connor twice going close - and they were made to pay for those and other misses in the closing stages as Kizito Ekwueme and David Ward both found the net to hand Rock a convincing victory.
Ardee Celtic: Hugh Murphy; David Carroll, Pierce Hawkins, Ken Thornton, Robbie Reynolds; Lorcan Myles, John Bingham, Niall Sharkey, Shawni Dowdall; Shane Hickey, Bryan O'Connor
Subs: Aaron Roche, Dylan Maher, Stuart Osborne, Keith Farnan
Rock Celtic: John Rogers; Liam McDonnell, Shane O’Callaghan, Ciarán Clarke, Gary Lennon; Brendan Rogers, Paddy Reilly, Ronan Sands, Seán Hand; Kizito Ekwueme, Daniel Kerr
Subs: David Ward, Jamie McCaul, Liam O'Callaghan, Ed Maguire, Tony Walsh
