High scoring victory

The Lurgan side started well and opened the scoring through Christopher Rice and then Finty McConville beat three men to set up the second goal for top scorer Stevie McConville.

Piast scored soon after this and then the goals flowed and the sides found themselves at 4-4 when the visitors were awarded a penalty which put them 5-4 ahead.

Celtic replied through Sean McGeown before Rice completed his hat-trick and then McGeown got his second of the game to round off the scoring.

It was a difficult day but the Celtic players never gave up and put in the effort right to the end.

There is much more to come from this team but better defending is required although the conditions made it difficult but it also made for an extremely entertaining game.
