Borris were pushing hard for a second but had to be careful with the Celtic strikers of Finn Napier and Jack Aylward, but they found the home defence and keeper in good form.
Celtic started the second half very fast but were not creating many chances, and if they did found Ben Allen was equal to everything.
Some great link up play resulted with Lorcan Bourke being played in, but the Celtic keeper made the save.
Celtic were now pushing hard, but Borris were creating the better chances but not taking them.
Borris were made to pay when a corner kick resulted in David Wall heading the ball home.
