KILLARNEY Celtic moved nine points clear a the top of the table with a facile win over neighbours Mastergeeh­a on Saturday evening. Stephen McCarthy (3), Wayne Sparling (2), Cathal O’Shea (2), Danny Roche Peter McCarthy and Gary Keane scored for the winners.

This brings their unbeaten league run to 13 games and they appear to be the side to beat this season. They now just need a point from their remaining three games to book their place in the final.

Elsewhere, it is now a two-horse race between Killarney Athletic and Dingle Bay Rovers for the second spot in the decider with the likelyhood of a play-off a possibilit­y.

At present Killarney Athletic and Dingle are level on 28 points with both having three games left to play. Dingle’s remaining games are against Fenit twice and Tralee Dynamos, while Killarney Athletic have to play Fenit and Tralee Dynamos also, but there is one very strern test as they have to play fellow townies Killarney Celtic and that could be the game that decides Athletic’s fate in their bid to defend their title.

This huge game is down for decision at Celtic Park this Friday evening and it is a must win game for Athletic because if the don’t take maximum points they could be surrenderi­ng their Premier A title by the end of the season.

This is a game Celtic will be doing their utmost to win having lost to Athletic is last
