Manchester Celtic U15s Magpies vs MFC U15s – Friendly ⚽️

With Vinny missing in defence, we switched to a back four with Lewis and Alex at centre-back, and Fenton and Jack W at full-back.

Peter had a few one-on-one chances with the keeper in the first half and managed to put one away, but MFC equalised before the break to make it 1-1 at half-time.

We made some tactical changes in the second half and they worked really well. For the first 20 minutes after the restart, we looked excellent and played some good football, scoring some quality goals with Peter and Declan both getting on the scoresheet.

We conceded a penalty after a challenge from Lewis, which they converted, and then another late on, but by then we had done enough to put ourselves clear.

Peter even went in goal for a 10-minute cameo at the end, although, to be fair, he didn’t have much to do!

Final Score: Manchester Celtic U15s Magpies 5-3 MFC U15s
⚽️ Goals: Peter x4, Declan x1

⭐ Players of the Match: Alex and Fenton.
Alex was solid at centre-back throughout, while Fenton dug us out on several occasions with some excellent defensive work.

Well done, boys – a really good performance from everyone! 👏⚽️🖤💛

Magpies U8’s Match Update ⚽️

A hard game today for the boys. The other team were excellent at passing and moving into space quickly, which caused us plenty of problems at the back.

The boys really got stuck in and never gave up. We scored three fantastic goals through Vlad and Tristan, and every player worked really hard.

The game ended in an 11-3 defeat, but the boys never stopped defending, attacking, and giving everything they had. I couldn’t have asked for any more from them.

Player of the Match ⭐️ goes to Hamza. I haven’t seen him play for a while, and I was really impressed with his development today. He kept going in for tackles, never stopped working, and listened to instructions brilliantly.

Well done, Hamza – keep it up! 👍⚽️🖤💛

🪵⚽️ Woodpeckers Match Update ⚽️🪵

Saturday was a tough game as we faced a new team that had moved into our group, and it was a hot one too! ☀️

Caiden made some superstar saves in goal during the first half. In the second half, we struggled a little with switching players in and out of goal, which left us vulnerable in some positions.

The game finished in a 10-2 loss, but there were still plenty of positives. We had a cracking goal from Leo and a brilliant finish from a kick-in by Kian. 👏⚽️

Most importantly, the team never stopped fighting, kept battling right until the final whistle, and were all still smiling at the end. That’s what it’s all about! 💙💛

As usual, we’re incredibly proud coaches. 😍

Morning everyone,

Due to the extreme heat and very high UV levels, we’ve decided to cancel tonight’s training sessions for all of the teams.

With some of the teams having matches this weekend, we want to make sure everyone stays safe and avoids overheating.

Enjoy your evening, stay cool, and we’ll see you all tomorrow. ☀️⚽

Thanks,
Coaches

🌟⚽ PLAYER OF THE WEEK ⚽🌟

A huge congratulations to Kian from Manchester Celtic Woodpeckers, who was Fridays Player of the Week! 👏🏆

Kian has shown excellent footwork during training and has impressed everyone with the confidence he’s shown on the ball. His hard work, determination and willingness to take players on have really stood out throughout the session.

Keep up the fantastic work, Kian – we’re all proud of you! 💚⚽

🍀 Happy Father's Day 🍀

Today we want to wish a very Happy Father's Day to all the dads, grandads, stepdads, father figures and coaches who support our players both on and off the pitch.

We'd also like to recognise the amazing mums and family members who take on both parental roles, making sacrifices every week to help their children enjoy the game they love. Your dedication never goes unnoticed.

Thank you for the early morning lifts, standing in the rain, cheering from the sidelines, helping with fundraising, washing muddy kits, and being there every step of the journey.

Grassroots football simply wouldn't be possible without the incredible support of our families.

We hope you all have a fantastic day and know how much you're appreciated by everyone at Manchester Celtic FC.
