Thurles side Villa, who are in good form at the moment and still chasing the Premier League title, started well and from the off they were in complete control against a depleted Celtic side.

Dominant throughout the first half, Peake Villa added a third when Carroll scored again eight minutes before the break, this time converting a pass from Ronan McGuire.
Carroll returned the favour in the 55th minute, putting McGuire in on goal, and his strike partner made no mistake from 10 yards.
The McKevitt cousins combined again to make it five, and Matthew McKevitt completed his hat-trick 20 minutes from the end by finishing off a move instigated by Pippy Carroll in midfield, to leave the score 6-0 at the end.
