Celtic look to remain unbeaten in Women’s League

Three games in and it is so far so good for Castlebar Celtic in the Bus Éireann Women’s National League. Jeremy Dee’s charges have five points on the table and are unbeaten thanks to a win and two draws so far. Their latest point came after another long trip away to Cork Women’s FC which leaves them well placed in the table. On Sunday, Celtic will face another tough test when Peamount United come to town. The Dublin side are one of the top women’s side in the game and recently were in UEFA European action representing Ireland. Aileen Gilroy and Shauna Jackson were the scorers for Celtic last weekend in their hard fought draw. This weekend’s opponents saw off the challenge of the Cork side, Celtic drew with on a 6-1 scoreline on the opening day of the league, they followed that up with a 7-0 over Wexford Youths (another side whom Celtic have drawn with this term). However they are coming off the back of a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Raheny United last weekend and will be looking to get back on track against Celtic. The game against Peamount United is scheduled to kick off in Celtic Park at 2pm on Sunday, December 4.
