This game was a great advert for schoolboy soccer with the two top teams at this age category going head to head.Celtic shaded the first half possession with Park hitting them on the counter but both sides failed to test the keepers, scoreless at the break.

Park made two changes at the break bringing in Poga McCannon and Mervin Shalamba and there was an immediate impact with both combining setting up Sean McGrath who rifled a unstoppable left foot volley into the roof of the Celtic goal from the edge of the area giving Park the lead seven minutes into the second half.

 

Celtic were dangerous from set pieces and they equalized with fifteen minutes left on the clock from an in-swinging corner that looked to be knocked into the Park net by a Thierry Henry style hand ball that saw Park players angry with the referee. Park had a couple of good chances to snatch the lead back but were guilty of not converting at least one of chances.

 

The last kick of the game saw Celtic pump a long free into the Park area that unfortunately came of a Park defender for an own goal and the spoils went to Celtic.

 


Best for Park were Paddy O Rourke ,James Rusk,JR Tshikato,Sean McGrath
Man of the Match was Conor Myers .
