Clonmel Credit Union Premier League 

Clonmel Celtic 6 – 0 Wilderness Rovers

Clonmel Celtic proved too strong for local rivals Wilderness Rovers on Sunday morning, running out by six-goal winners to make it two wins from two at the start of the season.

Celtic made the perfect start on two minutes, when Seanie Hawkins cut in from the left before firing a fine effort to the top corner. They dominated proceedings but the Wilderness ‘keeper produced some fine saves to keep his side in the game.

But eventually the hosts doubled their lead seven minutes before the break when Ayo Williams converted from the penalty spot to leave Celtic two up at the break.

They scored again early in the second half, with Philly Drohan turning home Darren Sweeney’s effort five minutes after the restart. On the hour mark it was four with Darren Sweeney finishing well.

There was no let-up for Rovers, with Philly Drohan getting on the end of a cross to slot home his second goal 15 minutes from time. And not to be outdone, Sweeney also got a second when he showed good footwork to power home Celtic's sixth and final goal in the dying minutes of the game.
