A big thanks to everybody who attended the North of England CSC`s 7 a side Tournament and the following Shebeen bash at Maguires in Leeds.
There was a large turnout in beautiful sunny weather conditions.
The tournament was won by Blackburn Shamrocks CSC who beat Keighley CSC on penalties after an excellent and entertaining final watched by a large support of Hoops fans from all over the North of England.
A special vote of thanks to the organising committee of Wim the Tim CSC who did a great job up to, and on, the day.
It was great , once again , to meet up with fellow Hoops fans who we often meet on our travels both to Scotland and abroad.
Thanks also to Shebeen and our host Benny Maguire for a great night afterwards which may be a bit hazy in the memory of more than a few!

The Celtic Supporters Association

The Celtic Supporters Association was the idea of Willie Fanning whose dream became a reality back in September 1944.

These were dark days on and off the pitch with the Second World War still raging and in comparison to those horrors rather more trivialy Celtic were not providing much joy to its supporters and defeat was a regular experience. Indeed the idea of a supporters association came to 27-year-old Willie while watching the Bhoys get thrashed 6-2 at Hamilton.

Willie decided to write to the Daily Record calling on fellow Celtic fans interested in establishing a supporters club to get in touch. A total of 14 people replied. Consequently a meeting was arranged at St Mark's and St Paul's Hall, Chester Street in Shettleston. The meeting proved to be a success - a provisional committee was installed and Willie was elected as President.

By the time of the second meeting at the A.O.H. Hall in Alexandria Parade in Townhead the word had spread. The hall was packed and car loads of supporters from across Glasgow and beyond eager to attend created a traffic jam along the parade.

A constitution was drawn up which allowed the new organosation to become an amalgamation of supporters clubs. Within 12 months membership had rocketed to 700 and the association had won the official endorsement of Celtic FC who handed over the responsibility of distributing match tickets to affiliated branches of the CSA.

The CSA remains a strong and influential body. Apart from following Celtic in massive numbers it has a social club in Glasgow and its annual Supporters Rally is a highlight in the Celtic calendar.

True to the traditions of Celtic FC the CSA also has a proud and continued ethos of raising funds for charity.
