It was a very early start to Presentation Day for the Bhoys and Ghirls of the Noamh Padraig CSC as they hit the road to Glasgow and Celtic’s SPFL trophy party.
No doubt a few dark ones were consumed before they hit the road in Dublin, heading north to Larne for the ferry then the last leg of the journey from Stranraer to Glasgow..
It is a fortnightly ritual for many with their banner proudly flying from the Jock Stein Stand at every home match.
Another special league season come ends tomorrow and us Dublin Bhoys & Ghirls start our midnight departure for our 29hr round trip to watch the famous @CelticFC lift another league title. Proud to be involved with @NaomhPadraigCSC #HailHail pic.twitter.com/dthZheC5RZ

After a year off for Lockdown the journey is undertaken with relish as they look forward to another session of Angeball with Celtic unbeaten at home in two seasons of domestic action.
Sixteen home victories were followed by draws against Motherwell and St Mirren but hopefully today Ange’s side will be back firing on all cylinders on Matchday 19.
At some stage later today the supporters bus will begin the journey home, dropping the fans off in the early hours of Sunday with just one more trek to go- to Hampden next Saturday for the Scottish Cup Final and the chance to complete the domestic treble.
Love seeing the Noahm Padraig CSC Flag in the Jock Stein stand. Adds an additional cultural dimension to the day!
