The Celtic tournament is over 20 years old and one of the most prestigious in the state. This was the last tournament that the boys will be playing as the Northwest Bakersfield Strikers '88. They certainly wore their Striker name and colors proudly and ended with style and grace by winning the 2005 Celtic Cup tournament! Their next tournament is April 2 and 3 in Las Vegas, and there they will be flying the Brigade colors and logos.

The tournament MVP and winner of the Golden Boot Award was Eddie Lopez.

Team members include: Front Row: Hector Hernandez, Brice Sanders, Jesse Sanchez, Dominic Jimenez, Eddie Lopez, Colby Fabrie, Dennis Quintanilla, Sergio Flores. Back Row: Team Manager Janet Waldrop, Assistant Coach Melvin Waldrop, Alvaro Garcia, Andrew Foley, Justin Thorn, Eder Yanez, Justin Thatcher, Juan Vieyra, Anthony Waldrop and Coach Greg Knittel.
