Clonmel Town comfortably won the first derby of the season with a 4-0 win at Celtic Park yesterday afternoon. Town started brightly and had a couple of shots that were just off target in the early stages. They had to wait until the 29th minute for the breakthrough when Evan Maguire scored from close range. Celtic had their fair bit of possession but in truth they never really troubled Town unable to create any clear cut chances. Celtic Matthew O’Donnell denied Evan Maguire with two fine blocks before Jamie Ahearne doubled Town’s lead on the stroke of half time with a good effort. There was no let up from Town as they continued to control proceedings on resumption of the second period and Sean O’Connor curled in a fine effort on 53 minutes to make the game safe. In fairness to Celtic they kept battling away helped by the introduction of Jack Purcell who added a bit of impetus to Celtic’s attack. Indeed it was Purcell who had Celtic’s first effort on target with a shot on 62 minutes that the Town keeper pushed away for a corner. He came closer ten minutes later with a shot that came back off the crossbar. Niall Prendergast also came close to a consolation for Celtic with an effort that was just off target. However it was Town who had the final say in this game when Craig Guiry scored with 8 minutes remaining to seal a comfortable win for the visitors.
