Summary: 

MASTERS: See up-to-date league standings here.  Celtic South easily defeated Suffield in a make-up on Thursday, then traveled to Somers on Sunday for the “Celtic derby” against Celtic North, needing three points to clinch the league title.  The South put it a great performance to go up 2-0 at half-time, courtesy of goals from Billy Murphy, and defended well in the second half to take the title.  The season is complete for both teams, with the South having an insurmountable lead over Falcon Polonia, who has two make-up games left.  The North will likely finish third.

It is the second title in a row for the South, having won the “mini-league” title in the spring of 2008.  Overall, it’s the fourth title in a row for a Celtic Masters team, with the Club having won the inaugural SNEASL Masters league in 2006, and also in 2007 (fielding one team as “Glastonbury Celtic”).

O-30: Drew 3-3 at home versus lowly Colchester.  With one regular season match left, Celtic is fifth-place and well-positioned for a top six playoff finish.

CSL: Lost 3-1 away at regular season champions Danbury United to finish the season 10^th in the 12-team CSL.  The re-launch of the CSL Celts this season bodes well for the future of the Club.
