Budapest
Celtic Lions entered their 3rd game of Group C
with a 2 point lead and a chance to open up a
5 point gap at the top to ensure Cup qualification
and virtually assure them of the league title.
In their way stood Bozeat who had yet to collect
a point but were no pushovers – losing each game
by just the one goal on each occasion.
This
was top versus bottom in Group C and so often
these encounters go with the formbook. It was
therefore a little surprise that Bozeat scored
the first goal through Gary Baker. As we've said
though Group C was tight and Bozeat were no pushovers
so it wasn't a shock. The goal came relatively
early and Bozeat held the 1-0 lead going into
half-time.
So,
could Budapest Celtic Lions hit back in the second
half? They had the time to do it but could not
find a way through the Bozeat defence and goalkeeper
Tony McDonnell kept his first clean sheet of the
tournament. It was a fantastic result that really
but the cat amongst the pigeons.
Bozeat
rose to 3rd place and were only three points off
top meaning the whole group was separated by just
four points.
