Major Sponsorship from The Wright Group No doubt you have all seen the name of THE WRIGHT GROUP on the new
tracksuits and some of the sets of football gear. Over the past twelve
months the schoolboy section has received considerable sponsorship from the
Wright Group in many different forms. Firstly all the club tracksuits have
been subsidised by the Wright Group and this continues on an ongoing basis.
Most members benefited directly from this sponsorship as the tracksuits
were sold at a substantially reduced cost thanks to this sponsorship. The
amount involved in the tracksuit deal was by far the most generous
sponsorship the schoolboy section has ever obtained. Secondly The Wright
Group has invested substantially in our Academy, with a three year
sponsorship deal now in place. This has allowed us to invest substantially
in our academy section, and the performance our youngest teams is the best
evidence that the sponsorship is making a substantial difference in our
youth development. On top of these two generous sponsorship deals, The
Wright Group continues to invest in different parts of the schoolboy
section, already sponsoring five teams and main sponsor of this years
marathon, which is so important to the club. We hope to mutually develop
the relationship over the coming years and all involved in the schoolboy
section would like to thank the Wright Group for their ongoing support. The
nearest of Wrights establishments is Wrights Café in Swords, so if your in
there for a bite to eat, let them know the sponsorship is much appreciated.
BOYNE ROVERS 3 V 3 SWORDS CELTC - Sept 07
An outstanding performance in
the 2nd half saw Swords Celtic 17P claw back 3 goals to get a well deserved
3-3 draw at Boyne Rovers. This was their first league game in the
"Premier League" of the 2007/2008 season and they played
outstandingly. Boyne Rovers runners up in the "A" league last
year were playing the league Champions of the "B"league so a
entrauling game was in store. Rovers won the toss and played with the hill
and wind. Celtic started well and getting good passes going and were the
dominent side. After about 20 mins against the run of play Boyne Rovers
scored the opener. the lads kept plugging on but 2 more sloppy goals were
conceded. The boys never felt they were out of it and kept battling on.
Whistle blows half time,now we start to play.
Swords Celtic make a change bringing Andy Mynes off and bringing Jonathan
Scally on. Pushing Ross Madigan right midfield Jonathan goes centre mid and
immediately makes a difference. Whistle blows 2nd half begins and the boys
push straight away once again hassling Rovers. Swords make a change
bringing off Danny O Neill and bringing on Paddy Callan with immediate
effect. The passing gets better and every celtic player wants the ball. A
ball is whipped in and captain Dave Noonan scores 3-1. From tip off Celtic
are straight in hungry for more after some good passing a ball is whipped
in from the right and Jonathan Scally gets a second 3-2. Now the boys
knew they they could do it and nothing was going to stop them. To Boyne
Rovers credit they pushed on looking for a 4th goal but our defence was'nt
having any of it, and when we made a break and the ball was put to the back
post Paddy Callan, in through striker fashion, put in the back of the net
3-3 we could see a 4th. Rovers rattled now tried to slow everything down
and take the point but to the credit of the Swords Celtic players they
pushed for the winner. A free kick from the left hand side was whipped in
by Jonathan Scally only to be narrowly missed by the head of Kevin Cox. The
Ref blew and to Boyne Rovers relief the game was over. A game of 2 halves
and a get result for Swords Celtic.

SEVEN A SIDE SUCCESS AT ALL LEVELS
What a season so far
for the 7/9 a side teams, with success at under 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Things
are looking fantastic for the club at this age level. See below for
details.
Under 6 teams
Our under age teams from the academy have excelled again this year
with both under 6 teams doing extremely well this season.
The Under 6 B team manager by Brian Batten finished their league mid
table and have improved immensely since their first match of the season,
which was actually played the day after the team was formed. Since then
Brian has turned them into a well organized outfit and they are looking
forward to playing at the same age group again next season and no doubt
they will improve their position on this season.
The 6A team managed by John and Garreth had a super season finishing
top of the table with just one defeat all season. So successful was the
team they are intending to go straight into DDSL football at under 7 next
seasons, which will be another first for the club.
Both this years under 6s will remain in the academy for another year
as it is without doubt proving to be very successful in developing our
younger talent.
Under 7
Our under 7A team playing in the NDSL 8C1 have finished in runners
up spot this season, following their first place finish last year. Things
are looking good for the team manager by Mark Girvan who will enter the
DDSL next season at the under 8 age group again.
Under 8
Our under 8A team playing in the DDSL 8B1 have won the league this
season. The winning margin in the end was a single point but it was a great
achievement considering the team was moved up a couple of leagues during
the season. Well done to Dave and Keith for another successful season.
Under 9
Our under 9B team playing in the DDSL 9D league have also won the
league this season. The team manager by Vincent McGrath won comfortably in
the end and must be looking forward to moving up a couple of league places
next season. With four under 9 teams fielded this year we should be in good
shape for next year in preparation for 11 a side football the year after.
Well done to all four under nines for putting in the effort all season.
Under 17
With so much success to talk about at 7 a side
level, it’s great to see one of our 11 a side teams making an impact in the
DDSL at a high level of football. The under 17s managed by Paul Darcy and
Ciaran Johnson currently lie in third position in the 17A (north)
league. With every chance of the team finishing in 2nd position,
we may have a second DDSL team playing premier league football next season
