History was made last Saturday as the very first game was played on an artificial surface the 3G variety favoured by some international teams.
The two sides Wigan Celtic who entertained Atherton George in a Autus Web Design Division Three match adapted well particularly Celtic who won the encounter 3-0. The home side were on top from the start and when Tom Mortimer raced down the right and crossed for Ian Armstrong to score the writing was on the wall. Minutes later it was 2-0 as Dave Fitzpatrick headed on a free kick to Ian Armstrong who tucked away his second. By the 35th minute the striker had completed his hat trick after George skipper David Jackson had felled Paul Armstrong.
To say that Celtic had dominated proceedings would be an understatement.
