The home side delivered a commanding performance, securing a resounding 4-1 victory in this league encounter, showcasing their attacking prowess and solid defensive organisation throughout the match.
Enfield Celtic lined up in a 4-3-3 formation, designed to maximise their attacking potential while maintaining a sturdy defensive structure. Sean Coyle took his position in goal, shielded by a back four consisting of Conor Geraghty on the right, Sean O'Shea and Nathan Kearney as central defenders, and Jack Campion on the left. The midfield trio featured Stephen Maher on the right, Davey Morgan in the centre, and Evan Geraghty on the left, providing both creativity and support to the forwards. Up front, Ethan Mcloughlin occupied the right forward position, Phil Conolly led the line as the striker, and Tadhg Connolly operated on the left forward flank. The substitutes for this match included Ciaran Gorman, Sean Mckeon, and David Burke.
The match began with Enfield Celtic asserting their dominance early on. In the 10th minute, Phil Conolly opened the scoring, converting a well-placed short pass from Tadhg Connolly inside the box with his left foot. This goal set the tone for the home side, who continued to press for further opportunities.
However, Termonfeckin Celtic responded with resilience, managing to equalise just before half-time. In the 40th minute, a goalmouth scramble resulted in a close-range finish from an opponent, bringing the score to 1-1 and momentarily dampening Enfield's spirits. Yet, the home side quickly regained their composure, and just before the interval, Sean O'Shea restored their lead. In the 44th minute, he headed in a free kick delivered by Tadhg Connolly, sending Enfield into the break with a 2-1 advantage.
As the second half commenced, Enfield Celtic continued to apply pressure. In the 65th minute, Tadhg Connolly extended their lead to 3-1 by converting a penalty, following a foul in the box. Phil Conolly provided the assist with a short pass, showcasing the team's attacking synergy.
The match saw tactical changes as well, with Sean Mckeon replacing Jack Campion in the 71st minute to bolster the left side of defence. Shortly after, in the 76th minute, David Burke came on for Ciaran Gorman, who had replaced the injured Sean Coyle at half-time.
Tadhg Connolly received a yellow card in the 78th minute for persistent infringements, a minor blemish on an otherwise stellar performance. Enfield's dominance was further emphasised when Ethan Mcloughlin scored the fourth goal in the 84th minute, finishing a well-placed short pass from Davey Morgan inside the box with his right foot.
The match concluded with a late yellow card for Ethan Mcloughlin in the 85th minute, again for persistent infringements, but it did little to overshadow Enfield Celtic's impressive display. The final whistle confirmed a 4-1 victory for the home side, a result that solidified their position in the league and highlighted their attacking capabilities. Conor Geraghty was instrumental in defence, earning recognition as the standout player of the match.
