Nenagh Celtic moved clear at the top of the NT&DL Premier Division with a 3-0 win over Thurles Town in Thurles Greyhound Stadium on Sunday.

Celtic are now unbeaten in seven games and are surely favourites now for the title. Szymon Popiela kept up his excellent scoring form with another goal here while Brian Mitchell grabbed a brace to put Henry Newman’s side into a comfortable position in the title race.
