This fixture saw the coming together of two teams chasing the Glasgow and District Youth Football League Division 1 title and what a game it would be.
In the opening stages of the game Celtic settle into their rhythm a lot quicker with the Hoops pressing at every opportunity to disrupt Moorlands' usually impressive football.
The home side opened the scoring with a rasping 25 yard volley into the top corner from the right back Mackenzie. This was shortly followed by a tidy finish from the Celtic striker Sean Harley.
The Hoops were looking the better team and out for revenge after their 5-0 defeat at the hands of their opponents last week.
Half Time: The Celtic BC 2-0 Moorlands
The second half began and both teams were fired up and ready for battle but yet again Celtic would be the team to find their scoring touch. The third goal of the game came in the 60th minute with another tidy finish.
Moorlands continued to push Celtic back but the Celtic centre backs Michael McGaraghan and Conor Drummond were rock solid to held their team's quest for a clean sheet together with some impressive goalkeeping from Lloyd Fallon.
Celtic saw the game out and grabbed a goal in the 70th minute to put the game to bed. A brilliant result for Celtic BC and a well deserved win.
Full Time: The Celtic BC 4-0 Moorlands |

There were goals galore on a fine spring morning as Riverside 2000's took on Bannockburn Amateurs in the FVFDA Under 13's league. Meeting for the second time in 3 weeks (Bannockburn taking the first tie by a single goal) both sides were looking to put points on the board, and the commitment was evident throughout.
After a tentative feeling out process, Riverside took the lead when Ruari Henderson beat the offside trap to put his shot low past the keeper. Bannockburn pushed hard to equalise, but were pegged back further after a sublime defence splitting pass by Matthew King sent Brandon Hoare through on goal, finishing low into the far corner. Bannockburn looked a little shell shocked at the restart, and struggled to string together more than a few passes.
Riverside had chances to increase their lead, but were found wanting, mostly due to wasteful finishing.
After Matthew King tapped in a third, following good wide play from Henderson, Bannockburn looked like a beaten team, dejected at the half time whistle.
But they were not quite out of the game yet. They looked much more motivated, and this paid off with 2 goals quickly after the restart - One from a corner (poorly defended) and another great strike low from outside the area. Riverside looked nervy, and Bannockburn almost equalised when a shot from outside the area rattled the post.
The two goal lead was restored for Riverside when the Bannockburn defence failed to deal with a high ball, allowing Henderson to nip in and finish with aplomb into the keepers far post. Alex Jackson tapped in another after more good work by Henderson, although Bannockburn's keeper deserved more, having pulled off three great saves leading up to the goal.
Bannockburn fought back, and had Riverside toiling after a first time strike flew into the top right hand corner, making the score 5-3. Some nervy moments followed in the heart of the Riverside defence, especially from set pieces.
It was not to be however, and Riverside wrapped up all three points when Henderson completed his hat-trick, placing a 25 yard free kick into the top corner of the net.
Bannockburn pushed to get back into the game, bur the ref ended the game shortly after the final goal, with a final score of Riverside 6 - 3 Bannockburn.
Full Time: Riverside FC 6-3 Bannockburn FC |
