Congratulations to the U15 boys for winning the Division 3/4 cup in a sunny Eamonn Deacy Park at the weekend. Winning 5-4 versus Galway Bohemians it was Nathan Kenny who scored early doors after 2 minutes but Bohs hit back almost immediately to equalise. Nikhil Vegi, Nathan Kenny's second goal of the game and a Leon Cussen free kick saw Renmore fly into a commanding 4-1 lead at half time. Second half and a totally different game as Bohs came out flying looking to get back into the game. Within 15 minutes it was 4-3 and Renmore had to dig deep as Leon Cussen scored once again to make it 5-3 to give a bit of breathing space between the two sides. Bohs showed resilience and scored late on to make it a nervous last five minutes for all but our boys prevailed in what was a very exciting game of football.

The Renmore AFC U12 Maroon Girls played their hearts out, right to end at the Premier Cup Final in Eamonn Deacy Park. It wasn’t to be for them on the day but they kept at it and can certainly draw lots of positives from the whole experience. Congrats to the Knocknacarra girls on their win. We’ll be back!
Renmore are through to the final of the Division 3/4 Cup after an entertaining game against West Utd that ended 2-2 in 'the Swamp'. Going down 1-0 on 30 minutes Renmore got back into the game through a penalty won by Nikhil Vegi and driven home by Leon Cussen. With time slowly counting down to the final whistle it was Josh O'Reilly's mazy run and finish that had Renmore in raptures only for West to equalise at the death to send the game into extra time. Stalemate after the extra period and then the dreaded penalties. Goalkeeper Oisin Murphy stepped up to the plate and was fantastic in saving 2 penalties to put Renmore into the cup final against Galway Bohemians in Eamonn Deacy Park. Excellent performance, defensively good and another final for the club.
A great day in store for our supporters as the U12 girls are in soccer action in the Premier Division Cup final. Playing against Knocknacarra FC at Eamonn Deacy Park on Saturday 18th May. It promises to a be a great day for both sides regardless of the result. Kick off is at 10AM (ZZZZ). All of Renmore AFC wishes you the very best!
U11 girls are Swan Cup Champions!
Congratulations to the U11 team who had a great victory in Eamon Deacy Park yesterday. It was a hard fought battle with the game at 1-0 at half time. Colga FC equalising early in the second made it an edge of your seat contest for the rest of the game. The Renmore AFC girls battled on to come out winners at the end of a great game of football.
The Galway Football Association put on an amazing day for all the U11 teams and their coaches yesterday. Eamonn Deacy Park was looking it best yesterday and it was great to see so many people out supporting the girls throughout the day. Thanks to everyone involved in making it happen.
Thanks to Colga FC for a great game and we will meet again soon. Best of luck in your football future
An fantastic day for our U11's in the Swan Cup Final on Sunday (12th May) against Colga FC at Eamonn Deacy Park in Galway. A great experience and performance from the team. Well Done to both sides and to their supporters and respective managements on an entertaining and enjoyable day.

Leon Cussen opened the scoring with Josh O'Reilly instrumental in an unfortunate own goal by a Corrib defender. Hugo Lynagh scored Renmore's third and Nathan Kenny finished the scoring on the day to cap off a memorable game of football.
We had the final day of the Maree Oranmore FC Invitational on Sunday with a parade, some great football and some Galway United F.C. Women's team and Men's presenting the medals at the end of each tournament. Renmore AFC were delighted to have players from U7, U8 and U9 taking part in the final day!

Michael Byrne Cup Result
Renmore AFC 1-2 Athenry Football Club
An agonising injury time winner for Athenry saw Renmore exit the cup after a incredible performance against the Connacht Champions. Renmore's goal came from Conor Murray. Next up this Saturday at 2pm is a local derby as we face Mervue Utd in West Park hoping to secure Premier status for next season. Lets get a huge crowd down again to support the lads!
A large crowd at home in West Park saw Renmore AFC Men's Seniors draw 2-2 versus 4th placed Colga FC. Attendees were treated to a highly entertaining game with Renmore's goals scored by Kieron McGinty and Conor Murray, with Colga's courtesy of a brace from Tom Daly. A share of the points will add to Renmore's survival battle to remain in the Premier League for the 24/25 season. Next game featured for the Seniors will be the home tie in the Michael Byrne Cup Quarter Final this Wednesday (25th April) 6.45pm Kick Off in West Park all support welcome.
After this win it will now be U11, U12 & U13's Girls teams who will be playing Finals in Eamonn Deacy Park.
Renmore Navy team had goalie Cliodhna Ni Chonghaile in great form, with her backline also performing extremely well in the wonderful weather. Millie MacGabhann grabbed a first half hat trick as she and goalie Cliodhna then swapped roles in the second half with Cliodhna adding more goals. Ellie Forde also scored and her overall contribution was excellent in the win.
The Renmore Maroon team kicked off their match with a brilliant strike from Saoirse De Paor that opened the scoring and with Sophia Bouchier in goal first half the game was an entertaining affair. Second half saw Renmore defend really well with great work from Neasa O’Donnel, Lucy Davis, Kyla Roache & Ellen Irwin. Rebecca Whyte now in goal was also excellent and with Annie-Meabh Mullins in the forward line it was visitors Renmore Maroon who managed to hold out and grab a great result.
U13 girls are off to EDP as well!!
Renmore under 13 girls Abby Lohan scored a sublime free kick to get the girls on their way. Renmore took their lead into the break having had the majority of possession in the first half. Barna came back strongly in the second half but again our back four held firm with Aimee Ryan performing heroics in goal. Lots of great performances on the day and we hope to see you all in EDP.
Renmore AFC 3-2 Oughterard
Nathan Kenny scored a league cup hat trick as the boys came back late on to win this game. Trailing 2-1 with 5 minutes left the boys rallied as they never gave up and gained belief as the closing minutes ticked away. What a cup tie!!!
U12 Girls are off to EDP for the Final!
Captain Elise led Renmore against rivals Barna in what was a repeat of last years match. Lily opened the scoring as Aoife in goal was magnificent as her defence held firm against a strong Barna attack. With the game ebbing and flowing it was Saoirse who scored the second to seal the match and a trip to Galways iconoc ground. Well Done Girls.
A massive game coming up this weekend in the Premier Division. Renmore play at home in Westpark versus Colga on Saturday 20th April with a 2pm scheduled kick off. All support welcomed and appreciated.
Big Congratulations to the Renmore AFC U18’s squad who got through to the U18 Division 1/2 Cup final with a superb 3-2 victory over MacDara FC in Carraroe at the weekend. Goals from Liam Conneely, Aillil Connolly and Michael Smyth done the damage in the first half and an excellent display of goalkeeping by Nara Coll saw the lads qualify.
On Friday morning, Renmore U13 boys travelled to the renowned Loughborough University in the English midlands, to participate in the UK international soccer cup tournament. Facing junior premier league teams (the level just below professional academies) from all over the UK, they got a taste of elite schoolboy football. On the pitch they played 6 matches across 2 days, competing well against physical & skilful opponents, they never gave in and in the final game, lost narrowly 1-0 to a Welsh side in a 5th/6th play-off final. The Solihull Academy from just outside Birmingham were crowned U13 cup champions. What happened on the pitch was only part of the story, travelling abroad with their teammates in a tournament setting, in world-class facilities, having the craic in the hotel each evening is an experience they won’t forget and hopefully it paves the way for more Renmore teams to follow in their footsteps. The boys represented the club so well in the way they conducted themselves, we are very proud and many thanks to the coaches and parents who made the journey.
We had a unreal session in the wind and rain yesterday evening... all the girls and boys braved the elements! It was made a huge amount easier due to a few very special guests from Galway United F.C. Women's team! Thanks so much to Phil Trill, Theresa Keane, Marc O'Goill, Stephen Naughton, Róisín Jacob and Isabella Beletic for a wonderful visit and best of luck in your game at the weekend!
There is a massive game on at the weekend and it's the Michael Byrne Cup Quarter Final versus Athenry this Saturday. A distraction from the league perhaps but with an early bird 11am scheduled kick off it promises to be a tough and exciting league cup game against the premier front runners. It's on at home in Renmore's West Park so please come on down and show your support which will be greatly appreciated in the early kick off.
For the first time in many years, a Renmore AFC team are going on a foreign footballing adventure. In what we hope is the first of many trips for the club over the coming years, one of our U13 boys’ teams are travelling this weekend to Loughborough in the UK for the 'UK International Cup' UK. Hosted at the renowned Loughborough University sports campus – home to some of the world’s best athletes, planning has been underway over the past few months for this trip, which will see the boys compete against teams from all over the UK over 2 days. They travel out Friday and return Monday in what should be a memorable experience for the boys. Thanks to Castle Group Ireland, the boys will travel in style in their new tracksuits. The best of luck to the boys and parents who are travelling, may you compete well and enjoy it.
Renmore AFC U14 Red Boys were involved in this Div 1 clash, the Reds took a very early lead when Lisandro Gjegaj got the final touch to a Josh O'Reilly corner in the opening minutes and maintained that advantage until late in the half when Merlin's midfield talisman Eddie, who has a history of scoring worldie's against Renmore, pulled out another screamer to level the game at the half. Merlin took the lead early in the second half before a long range free kick from Niall McHugh, a thunderous left footed strike from Conor Conneely and a delicious chip from outside the box from Oisin Gorham gave the Reds a 2 goal cushion. Merlin battled until the final whistle and brought the score back within 1 to make it a nervous final few minutes for the Reds, but they stood strong and left with all 3 points. This was a fantastic spectacle for all in attendance, with both teams giving everything. Many thanks to John Thornton for officiating in this one.
Thanks as always to MacSweeney and Company for sponsoring our team this season.
Renmore AFC U14 Blue Boys took part in a 7 goal thriller with the Blues coming out on the wrong side of a 4-3 scoreline against Athenry Football Club in Division 5. The odds seemed heavily weighted against The Blues very early in the contest with Athenry; finding themselves 1 nil down and losing goalkeeping stalwart Cillian King to injury almost immediately after kick off. Leon Carty filled in admirably between the sticks and two superb goals from Padraig O'Flaitheartha turned the game around to give the Blues the lead at halfway. The Blues had chances to extend the lead, but the incredible effort from the entire squad started to take its toll and they found themselves 4-2 down with 10 minutes to go. The heads never bowed though, and when Nathan Fondja closed the gap to 1 with a few minutes remaining, the Blues gave every ounce of effort possible to try to draw level, but Athenry held firm to leave with the points. Best of luck to Athenry in their push for honours this season and many thanks to Brian Lynch for officiating in this one.
Thanks as always to The Full Duck for supporting our team this season.
It was announced on Friday 29th March that the Galway Football Association is to become one of the Football Association of Irelands designated 'Football Tester Leagues' with the adoption of an Open Age Category Division. The experimental league is to be installed this Summer for Men/Boys and will see players from aged 12 to adult compete on the same team in a round robin tournament in a designated 'non competitive' competition. The GFA is looking for 'expressions of interest' from all Galway registered clubs for it's inaugural 10 team division that is hoping to kick off on Sunday 23rd June 2024. The 'Age Open' league will see a further expansion in 2025 for Ladies/Girls and the possibility, going forward for mixed age open teams from 2026 onwards.
Happy Easter to all of our players, managers, supporters, sponsors, parents & guardians. Keep Safe and enjoy the mini break.

Renmore AFC 2-0 Kiltullagh Pioneers FC
Our u13's came away from Kiltullagh with a win on Tuesday night in what was the final league game of the season for the girls. The girls have done us proud this season and have improved so much having moved up a division and playing on a full pitch. Football and the result wasn't to matter on Tuesday, as prior to the game there was a minute silence beautifully observed by all in attendance in honour of the sad loss of the brave and inspiring Saoirse Ruane. Everyone at Renmore AFC sends their condolences to the family, friends and all the Kiltullagh community. May she rest in peace.
Congratulations to Will Walsh and Liam Duggan who won the 2 sets of tickets from our fundraiser draw on Saturday. Thanks to everyone who got involved in the club draw raising much needed funds for the club. We hope you all enjoy the big game on Saturday in The Aviva Stadium this Saturday #COYBIG.

Well Done Girls.
A huge game in the fight for survival this weekend as Renmore AFC take on St Bernards at home this Saturday with a 2pm kick off. Renmore are currently 5 points ahead of bottom side St Bernards but the Abbeyknockmoy side have two games in hand to try to make up the gap between them and safety. All support greatly appreciated in what is a huge game for the club.
U12 Maroon Girls lost out to Ballymote Celtic on penalties in the Connacht Cup quarter final which was credit to the both sides involved. Renmore's Lily McErlain scored Renmore's opener. But Ballymote battled back to equalise early in the second half and despite numerous chances, that's how it ended at full time. Renmore Captain Layla Faraj Gheizel showed excellent leadership on the pitch and kept Renmore going as extra time was played all to no avail and the dreaded penalties called.
Renmore’s keeper Aoife Curran saved a penalty brilliantly to keep hopes alive but the excellent Ballymote keeper won the day for the 'hoops'. Great game and we wish Ballymote all the best in the semis!
A very wet Cappagh Park on Saturday saw Renmore U14's go head to head with Knocknacarra in Division 1. Renmore's Callum Flynn scored first with a sublime low drive to the left. Liam Kelly grabbed a second with a swerved effort that eluded the keeper and Josh O'Reilly scored the third with a fantastic strike from range. Knocknacarra came back strongly in the second half with a goal themselves but this come back was short lived as Liam Kelly added his second with a lob over the over worked Knocknacarra keeper to make it 4-1 and this was the final score on the day. Renmore keeper Paddy McCarroll was excellent on the day as the rest of the squad were superb also. Next game is at home vs West Coast in 2 weeks time.

Renmore AFC 7 - 3 Kiltullagh FC
Renmore Blues got the much delayed 2nd half of their U14 Div 5 league off to a flier in Kiltullagh this morning, coming out on top of a goalfest for those in attendance. Finding themselves 3-2 down early in the second half, Renmore found another gear and closed the game out with 5 unanswered goals.
Renmore goalscorers on the day were Nathan Fondja (x3), Liam O'Donnell (x2) , John Geaney and Padraig O'Flaitheartha but every single player in a Full Duck Jersey deserves a share in the plaudits after a superb performance. Kiltullagh certainly played their part in this contest, which was played in a wonderful spirit, and Declan Mulhern did a great job as ref, allowing both sides to play flowing football.
A BIG Shout Out and Congratulations must surely go to to Renmore AFC's very own Caoimhe Murray who played for the Galway Interleague U12's in their brilliant win on penalties over the Midlands, at Eamon Deacy Park over the weekend! Caoimhe also helps out with coaching our academy teams.

Renmore AFC 2 - 2 Cregmore/Claregalway
(sunday 3rd december 2023)
The U15 boys proudly sponsored by David E. Menswear struggled to get going on a cold December afternoon. Cregmore looked like the home team as they passed the ball really well especially in the middle of the park. Cregmore went a goal up when Paddy McCarroll made a great save only for the Cregmore forward to pounce on the rebound and finish. Renmore equalised right on halftime when Leon Cussen scrambled a loose ball across the line.
Renmore made a few changes at halftime but struggled with possession as Cregmore continued to attack. They went 2-1 up from a corner that wasn't cleared. The Renmore defence had to work very hard throughout the second half. In the last minute of the game, Leon Cussen made a run on the left and was tripped on the edge of the box, winning a penalty. Leon stepped up and scored the penalty to draw the game.

A good win on Sunday for the girls in very foggy and very cold conditions. A brace of excellent first half goals from Emily Kelly saw Renmore progress in what was a very competitive match at home. Team captain Joni Hearne marshalled her side to victory and into the next round.

PLEASE SUPPORT
The Renmore AFC U12 Girls Maroon team came from behind to win 2-1 against Cregmore/Claregalway side in the premier division on Sunday morning. One nil down at half time it was Captain Aoife Curran who rallied the troops as Maisy Bo Joyce scored the equaliser and with Molly Quinn imperious in defence it was Ellen O’Reilly who blasted into the goal to make it Renmore 2-1.
Ellen OReilly and Lily McErlain were lively up front with Saoirse McHugh, Caoimhe Murray and Lily McCarroll all giving starring supporting roles.
Cregmore/Claregalway were unlucky not to score themselves again but with Amber Sweeney, Katie DePaor holding a impenetrable line Layla Faraj Gheizel and Elise Day ran their hearts out as it was Renmore who got stronger as the match progressed.
Special note must go to Aoife Curran, a real Captains performance, who made no less than three vital stops late in the game to save the points for her team.

The U16 boys are flying as they continued their excellent start to the season with a 3-1 home win against Athenry.
Ashton Greer got the ball rolling, so to speak when slotting past the Athenry goalie. Philip Coyle scored the second after great work from Kaylem Long and this was reciprocated when Kaylem scored after Philip assisted, this time making it 3-0 at half time.
Athenry grabbed a consolation early in the second half but it was no more than that as Renmore performed admirably to see out the game having a few chances themselves to add to the score.
The AGM for Renmore AFC is coming up soon.
It would be great to get more people from our community involved in the club.
Come along to the AGM, everyone welcome to come along.
Renmore AFC will be kicking off their FAI Junior Cup 2nd Round game v local rivals Merue Utd at 3pm this Saturday. A great local derby that will be a tough one!

St.Bernards 1-2 Renmore AFC
Renmore brought back 3 points away from St Bernards at the weekend. A game they were in control of for long periods despite the score line. Taking the lead through Jack Greaney Renmore added to their tally when Cian Specht scored again keeping his good run of form going. Despite St Bernards scoring late on Renmore were resolute and held their nerve to gain a valuable win away from home. Next game in West Park is a local derby v Mervue on Saturday at 2pm.
The girls from Renmore AFC U13/U14 team were treated to fantastic hospitality last Friday in The Connacht Hotel. Pizza for all and our new sponsored jerseys look fantastic.
We are delighted to have The Connacht Hotel as the team sponsors for the season. It is always great to get support from our wonderful community.
Thanks to all at The Connacht Hotel for your support. Girls soccer is looking good!
U12's took full points in the Premier division with a fantastic two nil home win over Athenry. A goalless, tense first half was played out in the beautiful sunshine in Renmore, enjoyed by a good crowd.
Both defences looked solid until Saoirse McHugh broke the deadlock to give Renmore the lead. Caoimhe Murray scored the second goal to seal the win.
Great team effort from all and shout outs to the Athenry keeper who really was excellent and to both Lily McErlain and Maisy Bo Joyce who could have scored themselves today. Another to Lily McCarroll and to Ellen O’Reilly who got a great assist for Renmore's second.
With a fantastic defence Renmore held out to finish with a fully deserving win.
Proudly supporting Galway Hospice.
The morning of football started early, with the RDJ sponsored U12 Division 2 team taking a well earned point from their home match against Colemanstown.
An epic game, with chances galore somehow, improbably managed to finish nil all despite a string of chances with captain Grace Dunbarr putting in a dominant display and tricky midfielders Rita Keenan, Alexa Geoghegan and Kate Gorham all manufacturing great chances, but all denied by a fine display from the Colemanstown keeper and defenders.
The tireless running of Teagan Leahy and Holly Duffy, who both impressed greatly, closed out any chances for Colemanstown to see the points shared in this entertaining and thrilling draw.
With football like that, the next 50 years looks in good hands!
U13 Division 1:
Galway Hibs 1 - 3 Renmore
Our u13 boys side maintained their good start to the season with a tough battle with our neighbours Hibs in Bohermore on Friday evening.
After a very even start, Hibs had the first big chance of the evening where Malachy Glynn stuck out a crucial toe to deny a Hibs one on one effort.....the ball just drifted by the post - great save.
Renmore put some pressure on the Hibs goal and scored two quick fire efforts through Liam O'Donnell just before the break.
It wasn't going to be a comfortable might however and Hibs pulled one back just after half time.
Renmore withstood a lot of pressure and eventually put the game to bed in the closing stages with Naoise Gorham scoring with a great close range header to maintain his hot start to the season.
It was a great team effort and all the boys played their part. Thanks to Galway Hibs for a great game.
Renmore AFC 2-1 Corrib Rangers
Renmore advanced to round 2 after a win against a well organised and spirited Rangers side who will no doubt be pushing for promotion.
A goal before half time from Cian Specht and a late winner from Harry Rogers got the job done on West Park. Renmore would like to wish all the best to Daragh Hensey who had to leave the club due to family commitments back home and we hope to see him in a Renmore shirt in the near future. Also welcome back Dara Mulgannon from his travels a huge addition to the team!
Big thanks to David Connolly, John Kelly and John Power for having the pitch in prime condition for kick off. Onto round 2 where a home tie vs local rivals Mervue awaits in West Park in 3 weeks time.
Renmore AFC 1-0 Colemanstown Utd

Renmore Senior 'A' men grabbed their first 3 points of the season winning 1-0 at home against Colemanstown in a very even game with Renmore leaving it late with a deflected Keith Fitzgerald strike in the 2nd half proving the all important winner.
