The lads started to find their rhythm in the second half as two quick fire goals from Danielle Gismondi both slotted wonderfully with assists coming from Shane Conroy and Shay Rawat.

Harp Celtic 2 - 1 Torro United

Great morning in the MDL for Harp Celtic winning 2 - 1 in the quarter final of the Fiacra O'Neill Shield,
This was a fantastic team performance by all the lad's, starting the game strong and keeping possession, we took the lead in the 28th minute with an assist from Daniele Gismondi to Caighlum Barry Mulvey who wasted no time sloting the ball home, the lad's were unlucky not to have a few more in the first half with a few balls just going wide of the opponent's post, despite having most of the play Celtic let one in from a well taken corner, half time 1 - 1,
Second half seen more of the same from this fantastic team with Shay Rawat making it 2 - 1 with an fabulous overhead kick, Shay having a great game on the wing today, Torro kept coming at us as the game went on but our super goalkeeper Andy Devine pulled off some fantastic saves and we seen out the game,
This is a fantastic result for a new team making it to a Semi Final in our first season, the hard work the lads are putting in is paying off,
Great performances from Rhys Callan - Matthew Ryan - Jonathan Forde and Andrew Moran,

Harp Celtic 3 - 2 Enfield
Great day in the MDL for the lads, taken all 3 points home in what was a hard fought win, having most of the play in the first half and some well saved shots from the Enfield keeper,
Second half, Harp Celtic took the lead with a long ball from Andrew Moran down to Caighlum Barry-Mulvey who rounded the defenders to score, what a fantastic player 👏, the work this young man puts in is second to none on the field, Enfield came back into the game with a goal of their own but Caighlum assisted Shay Rawat for his first of the game and Shay with a well taken goal for his 2nd putting us 3 - 2 to the good,
This was a great team performance with everyone putting in a shift to get the 3 points, special shout out to Ross Devoy/Calum Fagan/Marc Walsh and as always a fine goal keeping display from Andy Devine,

Castlevilla went ahead in the 8 minute with a corner kick straight into the back of the net but the lads pulled it back with some great play down the right hand side from Daniel Innih into the on waiting Daniele Gismondi to make it 1 1, this took us into half time,
Second half was much the same as the first playing some fantastic passing football, the best in a few games but it just wasn't to be and Castlevilla got a 2nd in the 78th minute,

Second half was better from the lads but we picked up a few injuries with Calum Fagan needing to come off and Daniele Gismondi playing true the pain from a clash with the Kentstown goal keeper, 10 minutes later we seen a penalty decision going against us, we found ourselves down by 3, we pulled back one from a corner taken by Matthew Ryan into the on weighting Jonathan Forde who headed the ball into the back of the net 3 2 but despite having all the play after that the lads just couldn't fine the 3rd goal, great second half proformance, thanks to all that came to support the team from the sideline 👏 great to see,
