Travelling to Borris on the opening day was always going to be challenging for Celtic but going there missing players through suspension and injury had a mission impossible feel about it. Celtic got the perfect start though when Kyle Cuddy converted from the spot after just 2 minutes. Unfortunately that was as good as it got for Celtic as goals from Lorcan O'Toole, Danny Treacy and Anthony McCarthy had the home side 3-1 up at the break. There was no respite for Celtic in the second half and further goals from Urban Nolan, Danny Treacy and Anthony McCarthy saw the home side run out convincing 6-1 winners.
