'''Castlebar Celtic''' is an amateur Irish football club based in [[Castlebar]], [[County Mayo]], Republic of Ireland. The club was founded in 1924 and currently competes in the Mayo Super League. Their home ground is [[Celtic Park (Castlebar)|Celtic Park]]. The club's colours are green and white.


==History==
==History==
Castlebar's first soccer team was established in 1924 and this is reflected on the club's crest. The first committee consisted of Tommy Leonard, Tommy Connolly, Tommy McDonald, Mattie Ketterick and Charlie Hanley. However, this setup was disbanded soon after until it was restarted once again in 1928. This version consisted of Tom Ketterick, Mattie's younger brother, Hughie McGartland and John Burke. The club was finally formed in Hack Welshe's on Castle Street and in 1932 the name Castlebar Celtic was chosen. The first game was against Galway Rovers in which Tom Ketterick said "we got hammered".


===Early years===
Competition though, was very limited. There was no Mayo League as such in those days and [[Dooniver Swifts]] (of [[Achill]]), [[Westport United F.C.|Westport United]] and Quay Hearts (of [[Westport, County Mayo|Westport]]) were the only other soccer clubs in the county.
According to the club crest, Castlebar Celtic was founded in [[1924 in Ireland|1924]]. However, during the club's early years there was little activity. The club was reformed in [[1928 in Ireland|1928]] as '''Castlebar Corinthians''' and did not become Castlebar Celtic until [[1932 in Ireland|1932]]. The name change was partly inspired by [[Celtic F.C.]] Initially the club played only friendlies as there were no local competitions for the club to enter. One of the earliest of these friendlies in 1928 saw [[Westport United F.C.|Westport United]] visit Castlebar Celtic and win 4–1. In 1937–38 an under–18 team won the club's first trophy, the Alfie Byrne Cup. This cup was awarded to the winners of a town league based in [[Westport, County Mayo|Westport]].<ref name="castlebarceltic3">{{cite web|url=http://www.castlebarceltic.ie/club/News/view/750353?archive=1|title=The sad passing of Tom Ketterick|publisher=www.castlebarceltic.com|accessdate=17 April 2016|date=19 February 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160427190112/http://www.castlebarceltic.ie/club/News/view/750353?archive=1|archive-date=27 April 2016|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref name="castlebarceltic2">{{cite web|url=https://castlebarceltic.wordpress.com/|title=Castlebar Celtic @ wordpress.com|publisher=castlebarceltic.wordpress.com|accessdate =17 April 2016}}</ref><ref name="castlebarceltic">{{cite web|url=http://www.castlebarceltic.com/default.asp?nc=2723&id=39|title=Castlebar Celtic F.C. – Club History|publisher=www.castlebarceltic.com|accessdate=24 May 2010|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110708123540/http://www.castlebarceltic.com/default.asp?nc=2723&id=39|archivedate=8 July 2011|df=dmy-all}}</ref> During the 1940s Castlebar Celtic began to compete in provincial competitions such as the [[Connacht Senior League (association football)|Western League]] and the [[Connacht Junior Cup (association football)|Connacht Junior Cup]].

It took until 1938 for Celtic to win their first trophy, the Alfie Byrne Cup, when they beat Westport 6–1. 1947 saw the first of a record 9 Connaught Cup victories, when they defeated [[Galway Bohemians F.C.|Galway Bohs]] at Maryland Park, their home since the early forties. The winner that day came from Michael Guthrie in a 1–0 victory.

===Mayo Association Football League===
Hughie McGartland was club secretary for almost 40 years and was a key figure of the committee that purchased Flannelly's Field, now known as [[Celtic Park (Castlebar)|Celtic Park]], still the home of Celtic. They purchased Flannelly's Field in 1954 for £1,879. A sum of £123 was spent on drainage and a further sum of £400 was spent on renovating a premise in Market Square as a clubhouse. Two old C.I.E. buses were bought for dressing rooms, to bring the total expenditure to £3,000. Running a series of carnivals and dances raised the money

The first match played in [[Celtic Park (Castlebar)|Celtic Park]] was on 4 May 1958. This was a challenge game between Castlebar Celtic and Castlebar A.

Celtic won the game 1-nil, with Frank Roache scoring the winning goal.

Youth Cup in 2007.

Castlebar Celtic are the most successful side in the history of Mayo football having won more Mayo Cups and Connacht Cups than any other club. They are tied with Westport United on Mayo League titles, with 16 each. The first Mayo League title was won in 1957 and the latest in 2011. The Club has won the Mayo FA Cup 6 times. Celtic share the record for Connacht Cup victories with a total of 9 (Galway Hibs also have 9), the first win coming in 1948. During the late 1950s and early 1960s, Celtic won the competition 3 times in the space of 6 years. The 1980s were Celtic's golden years with 6 Mayo League titles and 3 Connaught Cups. The most recent success in the Connaught Cup came in 2003 with a hard-fought 2–1 victory over Galway's Moyne Villa at Milebush Park, with goals in either half from Kevin Ryan and Declan Reilly. Kevin & Stephen Ryan made history that day when they became the first father & son to play together in a Connaught Cup final. Celtic almost made it title number 10 in 2006, but fell at the final hurdle, losing the final to Sligo-based side [[Abbey United]] on penalties. They since have made the €30 signing of Niall "Gurch" Quinn.

History

[edit]

Early years

[edit]

According to the club crest, Castlebar Celtic was founded in 1924. However, during the club's early years there was little activity. The club was reformed in 1928 as Castlebar Corinthians and did not become Castlebar Celtic until 1932. The name change was partly inspired by Celtic F.C. Initially the club played only friendlies as there were no local competitions for the club to enter. One of the earliest of these friendlies in 1928 saw Westport United visit Castlebar Celtic and win 4–1. In 1937–38 an under–18 team won the club's first trophy, the Alfie Byrne Cup. This cup was awarded to the winners of a town league based in Westport.[1][2][3] During the 1940s Castlebar Celtic began to compete in provincial competitions such as the Western League and the Connacht Junior Cup. They won their first major honour in 1946–47 when they won the latter competition.[3][4]

Mayo Association Football League

[edit]

In 1954, together with Westport Town, Barcastle and Quay Hearts, Castlebar Celtic became founder members of the Mayo Association Football League.[5] They finished the inaugural season as champions and together with Westport United, Castlebar Celtic became one of the league's two most successful clubs. Between 1957–58 and 1961–62 they were league champions five times in a row. In 1967–68 a Castlebar Celtic A team were champions while a Castlebar Celtic B team finished as runners up. Between 1980–81 and 1986–87 they completed another five in a row. After winning the league title in 1978–79 and 1980–81, Castlebar Celtic also went on to win the Michael Byrne Cup.[4][6]

Connacht Senior League

[edit]

In 1987–88 Castlebar Celtic joined the Connacht Senior League and in their first season finished as runners up behind Galway United Reserves. In 1988–89 they went one better when they finished as champions. Castlebar Celtic clinched the title after a draw in their final game with second placed Salthill Devon. The game was rescheduled after an assault on the referee by a Salthill Devon fan caused the original fixture to be abandoned with Celtic leading 1–0.[7] Castlebar Celtic continued to play in the Connacht Senior League until 1999–2000 when it was dissolved. Although they did not win the league title again, they were runners up on two further occasions and they did win both the Connacht Senior League Incentive Cup and the Connacht Senior League Challenge Cup. In 1992–93 Castlebar Celtic also represented the Connacht Senior League in the League of Ireland Cup after finishing second behind Sligo Rovers Reserves in the 1991–92 season. Castlebar Celtic were invited to participate because reserve teams were ineligible to compete in the League of Ireland Cup.[8]

A Championship

[edit]

After featuring in the 2007 League of Ireland U20 Division,[9] Castlebar Celtic became the first club from County Mayo to play in a national league. They subsequently joined the A Championship in 2009. The club was encouraged to make the move from provincial to national level after winning the 2006–07 FAI Youth Cup. Their 2009 A Championship squad included eight members of the cup winning team.[10] However, with the conclusion of the 2010 season, Celtic withdrew from the league.[11][12][13]

Ground

[edit]

Castlebar Celtic originally played their home games at Fairgreen and later played at Niland's Field. In 1954 the club purchased Celtic Park, their current home, which was then known as Flannelly's Field.[3]
