Connolly Celtic have capped off a memorable season after being crowned champions of the Suttons Lighting Third Division.

Having already got their hands on the League Cup, Connolly Celtic have backed it up by becoming winners of the 2019/20 Suttons Lighting Third Division.

Two goals from Brendan Dillon saw them overcome Ennis Dons 2-0 on Sunday to wrap up the league and seal their spot in the Campion Insurance Second Division next season. Their promotion was confirmed in July when they had a 2-1 victory over Cloughleigh Celtic with Eoin Fitzgerald and Kevin Tubridy hitting the net on that occasion.

It comes in a year where Connolly Celtic took a major scalp in the Clare Cup. Back in January, goals from Aidan Kennedy x2 and an Eoin Fitzgerald penalty saw Ray Kennedy’s side dump last year’s beaten finalist Newmarket Celtic B out of the competition.

Inch Crusaders have also been celebrating their promotion to the Second Division. They recorded a 3-1 win over Manus Celtic B at the weekend with Tommy Barry scoring twice and a Ronan Grace effort topping off a productive weekend for soccer in Kilmaley.
