A highly competitive and tough opening match to the Galway FA Reserves League.

This game was a chance by both sets of managers to get players match fit for the new season that kicked off last week, and both teams didn't disappoint as it ended in a very competitive 1-1 draw.

If the strong starting line ups show anything this season it will be how entertaining and also important this competition will be for both clubs as the season progresses.

 Renmore AFC is delighted to confirm that Stuart Donoghue has been appointed as our new First Team Manager. After returning to the club in 2017, Stuart took on the role of Player/Manager for our new Junior B side. In their first season together, Stuart and the squad achieved promotion from Division 4 in what was a fantastic achievement for such a new side. Last April, and in their second season, Stuart and the team reached the Jack Lillis Cup Final in Eamonn Deacy Park and were unlucky not to bring home the silverware in a great game against East United. With his track record of success and a young squad to work with, everyone at the club is excited to see what Stuart and the First Team can achieve in the coming years. Stuart will be ably assisted by Emlyn Coyne and Damien Sweeney. 

 Bernard Shapiro,  founding member and Honorary President of Renmore AFC was a stalwart for Renmore  since 1973, shepherding it through its early days and laying the foundation for the current success. 

He will forever be remembered and honoured in the annals of the club's history and in the history of soccer in Galway.  A fitting tribute to an inspiring man.   

We are grateful to the Connacht Tribune for their permission to link to their article that was published shortly after Mr Shapiro's passing in December 2014.   

The inaugural pre-season DELIGHT Cup tournament took place on the Renmore pitches opposite the Bon Secours on Saturday, August 10th 2019.

 The Under 15 GFA Championship got underway Saturday and saw Corrib Celtic win 3-1 as Renmore traveled away from home in their first match of the season.

Trailing two goals to nil at half time, a lifeline 20 minutes from time gave Renmore a glimmer of hope going into the last phase of the match, but a low strike inside the box saw the Annaghdown side take the points to seal the win.
