Saturday 3rd September 2016 @2pm
The Day was set to be a tough one for the the Celbridge U13's girls. As the team was missing two out of the three starting midfielders, one left half back and their two goalkeepers. It was also made even tougher in the fact that, it was raining all morning and the forecast showed no let up on the rain for the afternoon match.

Congratulations to Celbridge Ladies U16 Football Team who progressed to the Division 5 League Final by defeating Naas in an exciting semi-final clash. Despite very windy conditions both teams registered some fine scores in the first half and by half time Celbridge led by 1-6 to 1-3, with Rachel O’Reilly getting the home team’s only goal. A long range point from Alex Casey and second goal from Maria Keating helped Celbridge to extend their lead to six points early in the second half. Naas however were still in this game and it took a number of superb saves from Celbridge’s keeper Abby Collinge to prevent them from adding to their goal tally at this stage. Celbridge’s third goal of the night came after a fine passing move begun by Niamh Mortell in her own half and finished expertly by Rachel O’Reilly for her second goal of the game. This score put Celbridge seven points ahead however Naas to their credit never give up and two quick goals from their dangerous full forward line ensured that this game went right down to the wire. Although Naas finished strongly a combination of a couple of late points from Alex Casey and some resolute defending saw Celbridge to victory by two points.
For Celbridge Sarah Wallace, Emma Lynch and Niamh Tracey all had fine games in defence. Alex Casey scored a number of fine points from play and placed balls, while Rachel O’Reilly was the pick of Celbridge’s forwards. Celbridge’s stand out player on the night however was the goalkeeper Abby Collinge who pulled off a string of great saves. Commiserations to Naas who give their all and contributed to an exciting game that was played in a sporting manner throughout.
Well done to the mentors Mike and Kevin and all the girls on the team for getting to the final. This is another great achievement in what has been a very successful year for Celbridge ladies football. All the best in the final against Confey.
Final Score Celbridge (3-10) v Naas (4-5)

★Match Report ★ The Naas U12’s Girls VS Celbridge U12’s Girls – 30th June 2016 @7PM Naas GAA
[widgetkit id=506]
The Naas U12’s Girls and Celbridge U12’s Girls played out a very fast paced League match clash in Naas on Thursday evening (30th June 2016 @7pm); there was an excellent level of support , with a large number of people out watching the match, parents/guardians (The damp weather didn’t affect the excellent support) on both sides. We had a small number of players out on injury/holidays for Celbridge team, but this didn’t change the fact that we had an excellent turn out. With a previous away win for the Celbridge girls against Cappagh under their belt; our Celbridge U12’s girl’s football team were ready & fired up for the next challenge against their Naas opponents in this league match.
As the referees whistle started the game, Celbridge were the fastest into their stride and struck first with an excellent first volley goal by our forward, this was followed by rain of shots from the Celbridge attackers, follow by more goals, as even playing against the wind didn’t seem to hinder the girls.
Naas girls didn’t give up and in fairness; they did come back into the match in the second half, but at that stage the game was out of reach. As Celbridge girls had put all of their hard training techniques into practice and the Celbridge defence held strong only letting in one goal near the very end. The main battle took place in the mid-field between Naas & Celbridge over the game, but as the Celbridge mid-field won the battle and then supplied excellent passes to the forward attackers, who in turn were clinical & creative with their scoring.
Needless to say! it was another great performance from our Celbridge U12’s girls football team and it’s clear to see that these girls have learning allot since the start of season, with that defeat to Lexilip, which seems so long ago. I’ve no doubt that some of these talented girls will be playing for their County in the coming years. Their coaches: Brendan Pimlott & Sean Gallagher were very proud of how they all played on the night and even our new team members done Celbridge/themselves proud.
