Disaster struck for Kiltimagh / Knock in the second minute when a defender was adjudged to have handled inside the box. From the resultant penalty Nigel Naughton made no mistake despite a valiant effort by keeper Michael Slingerman.
Peter Drevins made it 2-0 to Celtic just before half time after good interlinking play with Danny Fallon.
Kiltimagh / Knock came into the game more in the second half and only some fine goalkeeping from Danny Kirby kept them scorless.With Kiltimah / Knock pushing men forward Celtic substitute Kieth Duffy took advantage of the space to score a fine individual goal and wrap up the scoring.
