Celtic started the game one goal ahead in this Invitation Cup game.
Lion's started well in a bright passage of play, Pearson linked well with Dye on the right, but it was Celtic who took the lead from a corner.
Graham French's defensive header unfortunately ended up in his own net.
Fildes, French , Jenkins and Capt Griffin put in the necessary defensive tackles to keep the Lion's in the game.
Breachwood pulled a goal back through a Wayner Gardner strike across the keeper into the top corner of the net.
An upbeat Breachwood sucumbed to a goal just before half time, leaving the Lion's 3-1 down in the tie at halftime.
During the second half, Batt & Eldridge replaced Jeffrey and Jenkins in a bid to bring pace and fire power in attack. Louis Griffin replaced Dye.
Despite Celtic scoring 7 goals in the second half Breachwood did display some patches of good football. Anderson,who had a man of the match performance, surged forward, played a one two with Batt and shot just inches wide of the right post. Pete Farr hit the bar with a shot from the edge of the box.
After losing this Invitation Cup game 10-1 , Breachwood now have to prepare themselves for another Invitation Cup game next week against Division 3 site Coopers who will start with a 2 goal advantage.
Subsitutes not used: D.Farr, Harrison
