Performance fit for a Prince
20/12/2006
Hinckley United 1 Stalybridge Celtic 2 - NEIL Prince was the hero as Celtic survived a torrid night to become Tameside's sole representatives in the second round of the FA Trophy.
The diminutive winger struck twice in the space of 10 first-half minutes to give the Celts the cushion they needed, but with United camped in front of goal for virtually the entire second half, it was the much-maligned defence who held firm to secure the win.
Prince's first was a magnificent cross shot lashed high into the roof of the net, and his second came from Richard Byron's slip.
It took a special strike by Jamie Lenton to breach the Celts' defence but it wasn't enough for the home side.
Celtic had drawn 2-2 at Bower Fold last Saturday in the archetypal game of two halves.
John Reed's reshuffled Celts could have been several goals up by the time they got their noses in front in the 26th minute through Steve Brodie.
Five minutes later, a sweeping cross-field move ended with a superb rising drive from Prince.
The Leicestershire side reduced the arrears 10 minutes into the second half when Leon Jackson headed home.
The same player cashed in on yet more hesitancy to slam the ball home from close range for the equaliser.
