Celtic have to do it again as rain stops play

Soccer

Castlebar Celtic will have to do it all again against Ballinasloe Town in the Connacht Junior Cup semi-final after their clash last Sunday was abandoned due to weather conditions.

The Hoops were leading 2-0 at the half-time break thanks to goals from Mark Howley and a Jordon Loftus penalty, but the game was called off due to torrential rain making the pitch unplayable in the second half and the sides will meet again on Sunday at 2pm in the same venue.
