News / Football: Celtic win Manson Cup
Manson Cup Final
Celtic 3 – 2 Whalsay
Saturday’s Manson Cup final saw Celtic take their first piece of silverware to win the sought after trophy from Whalsay, who beat Scalloway in the final last year.
Celtic opened the scoring in the first half after a goal from Roy Wood, though after half time Whalsay took the lead with two goals from Ross Irvine.
Celtic managed to equalise through James Aitken and new signing Dominic Mann sealed victory for the team in a tremendous match that was a fantastic advert for Shetland football.
