Renmore U11 Boys reached the GFA Elephant Cup Final in Eamonn Deacy Park on the May Bank holiday weekend. Winning 4-2 they showed all their guile and determination to overcome a very good Cregmore Claregalway A side. Goalscorers were Dara, Ruadhan, Ben and Orrin on a wet and windy afternoon on Renmore Avenue.
Our thanks to the officials Dennis Lydon and Tony Fahy.
The U11's age group is the entry level for competitive games in the Galway Football Associations competition structure. Games currently run as 10 individual leagues (7 Boys, 3 Girls) and are all identified with different animal names such as Fox, Leopard & Tiger as examples.

REMINDER
This Sunday, the 12th April, our U14 girls play their semi final game in the National SFAI Trophy competition.
To get through to the last four nationally is an incredible achievement, for both teams, and it will certainly be a challenging task to try to eek out a result against a very talented Carraigaline United team, travelling up from Cork. But our Renmore girls have put in some amazing performances in this competition and we’d love to see plenty of home support down for the 2pm kick off in Westpark to cheer them on!!
The very best of luck girls, we’re all very proud of your achievement!
A great performance by the Girls U12 Championship Team against Moyne Villa at the weekend. They conceded in the first minute, but rallied back to equalise through a Cara shot from outside the box. Even stevens at half time
and a pep talk from captain Millie boosted the girls and they came out battling! Niamh put Renmore ahead as the girls looked for a third goal. But Moyne Villa rose to the challenge and equalised themselves as the game drew to a conclusion with the points shared. Renmore could have won it as they struck the post but a draw was a fair result as the quality of football on display was excellent from both sides. Thanks to referee Kevin Curran for officiating, and to The Connacht Hotel for their sponsorship.

The FAI & Galway Football Association has brought in special rules governing shin guards for the season 2026/27 for all ages. Shin guards will now have to meet certain size regulations intended to improve safety on the pitch and to extend coverage across the whole shin guard area. An FAI spokesperson was quoted as saying "the use of mini shin guards, as highlighted by their use in the 'those over the water' Premier League has focussed attention on the need for safety in our game going forwards." It is hoped this new rule will be adopted by all clubs with minimum objections.
U17's Division 2

Western Hygiene Premier Division RESULT
Renmore 0-0 Athenry
A good first half from Renmore could have brought more in terms of rewards as they played well to make chances, but as Athenry came back strongly in the second half the point gained may be seen as important in the last few games left to play.

Mens Senior team will host Athenry Football Club on Saturday at home in West Park. Still looking for their first win of the season Renmore will be looking to push the visitors all the way in their search for points. The weather promises to be good so why not come on down and support your team! Kick off is at 2pm.

Renmore 5 - 2 Oughterard. GFA Boys U17 Division 1 and 2 and 3 Cup
Calum Flynn opened the scoring for Renmore in this U17's Cup game and further scores from Leon Cussen, Niall McHugh x2 & Oisin Gorham made it a good Renmore win. Goal scorer Calum was asked to step into goal after his goal and an injury to our Number 1 Oisin Murphy. A few injuries during the game to lads and we wish them well and will hope to get them back for the next game. The lads now await their opponents in the Quarter finals.
Thanks to our sponsor David E. Menswear

U16's travelled to Tuam on Tuesday evening for a late kick-off in their Connacht Trophy U16 tie vs Dunmore Town on Tuam Celtic's brand new 3G pitch and excellent floodlit facilities. A goalless first half had a lot to do with the Dunmore keepers agility to keep Renmore out and Renmore's own defensive capabilities. Renmore did eventually take the lead in the second half through Conor and he extended it further to make it 2-0. Just when it looked like Renmore had booked their passage into the next round Dunmore rallied to score 2 late goals to send the game to the dreaded penalty shoot out. With tensions high and nerves jangling it was Renmore keeper Paddy who saved a penalty and with Lisandro putting his own penalty away Renmore sailed through to the semi final stage in a very very tight game of football.
Thanks to team sponsor MacSweeney & Company for all of their support.
U14 Renmore Girls had a fantastic win in this SFAI Trophy Quarter Final against St Johns Athletic with a 3-1 win. Ellen scored first for Renmore in a very tight game as St John’s came storming back to equalise. With the girls fighting for this it was amazing to see how their recovery levels have been over the last week and indeed 20 minutes into the second half Elise made it 2-1 to Renmore. St Johns came back once again but Renmore's defence stood firm as our midfield responded with like for like pressure and keeper Aoife kept us in it with some fine saves. As this end to end game continued it was another Ellen goal that put an end to St Johns resistance. Wow what a game and a semi final date in April to look forward to!
Ireland Manager Heimer Hallgrimsonn and the GFA Interleague Coaches put on a Masterclass Coaching Session. An excellent opportunity for some of our players to get involved in. Elise and Molly from the Renmore u14's met the Ireland manager and enjoyed the innovative training session in great weather.

U14 Girls: SFAI Trophy Round of 16
Home Farm 1-5 Renmore AFC
A game that saw Renmore score 5 goals with both Ellenx3 & Maisy x2 scoring. Early goals put the team at ease as Home Farm came back strongly. Ultimately an excellent team effort in this away day win with Renmore defensively digging in when they needed to. In the Quarter Final they will play Roscommon’s St Johns Athletic.

First ever blitz at Moyne Villa FC in Headford on Sunday for our U6's (born 2020). Freezing conditions did little to stop these new players showing excellent skills and teamwork with the support of Parents, mentors & coaches greatly appreciated.

Renmore U16's beat Kilkerrin Utd away from home in the Connacht Trophy on Sunday and go through to the next round after a 4-2 win. Despite going a goal down through a penalty Renmore rallied and scored through Liam O’Donnell to get them back into the game. They went further ahead with two more goals from Finn O’Reilly early in the second half. Kilkerrin United pulled a goal back to further add spice to the game and with each side going for the win it was left to Liam O'Donnell who grabbed his own second goal to make the final score 4-2. An excellent game of football that
saw both sides go for it til the final whistle.

Renmore 3-0 Villa FC
An excellent win saw U14 girls beat Villa FC who travelled from Waterford and progress into the last 16 of the SFAI Trophy competition. Goals from Ellen (x2) & Rita added to a good game of football that saw the visitors contribute fully to a very sporting game. Well Done to all involved.
U13 Renmore Girls played Colemanstown United in the GFA Girls U13 Championship and what a game it was. Plenty of drama and skill on display as our girls stormed back to win the game 4-2 after showing true grit and determination to show what this side is made of. A fantastic comeback and performance from all involved.
Captain Cara Mahon marshalled her troops against Corrib Rangers in this U12 Championship game. Despite falling 1-0 behind it seemed to spur on the girls. With some excellent football during this match the girls scored through Cara Mahon to earn the draw as the game ended 1-1.

U15 Girls Championship
Renmore 3 - 1 Loughrea
An extremely windy day saw Renmore go into half time courtesy of a well taken Lucie goal before the break with the advantage of the wind behind them. In the second half playing into the strong wind Renmore's defence were asked to defend resolutely and Emily, Sofia, Alice and Peace responded well with goalie Aimee making some important stops. With the team growing in confidence it wasn't long before Lucie had completed her hat trick to seal the win before Loughrea grabbed a consolation. Not a bad way to score your first ever goals for Renmore. Fantastic stuff from the hard working midfield of Niamh, Joni, Ali and Kate with best wishes to the injured Abbey who had to go off.
Also thanks to our sponsors Vocho for the new set of jerseys for the girls.

Sunday morning, the Renmore U12 girls took on league leaders Salthill Devon who were 3-0 up at the break.
Renmore battled hard in the second half and made it 3-1 with a Sophia McIntyre goal. Devon came back strongly themselves scoring another to make it 4-1. With 10 minutes to go, goalkeeper for three quarters of the game, Isabelle Moloney scored a second for Renmore to give them hope but that is how it ended 4-2.

What an effort from a team that battled hard in a match that saw wet and cold conditions away in Roscommon. The game went to extra time and to the dreaded penalties after it ended goal-less against Strokestown United. With the team putting the penalties away Hero of the day must surely go to goalie Ellen Griffin who saved a trio of penalties to ensure Renmore go through to the second round of the SFAI Trophy.
A huge thanks to Strokestown for putting on teas, coffees, sandwiches and treats for both the teams and fans after a wet and cold afternoon on the pitch.

Adam Nagajek played with Renmore AFC in our Academy as a young boy before his illness. But he didn't let this stop him challenging himself as he embarked on a new venture as a talented drummer with his band Tallon. He was Guest of Honour on the night of our 50th club celebrations in September 2023 with his band. Talllon organised a huge event for Adam in August 2025 releasing their debut EP. Weeks ago he helped organise a fundraiser for the disease he battled against. A truly talented young man taken too soon. Thoughts and love to Adam’s parents Ola & Greg and all of Adam’s family & friends.
May you rest in peace Adam.

Congratulations to Dylan Rees who has been called into the Galway squad for the upcoming Oscar Traynor game vs Roscommon. All at Renmore would like to wish him and Mens team Manager Stuart Donoghue the best of luck for the campaign.

All of us in Renmore AFC are devastated at the sudden loss of Ula Grigaitytė.
Ula was a member of our Academy who repeatedly brightened up every Saturday morning for all her coaches. She was always so happy with a big hello and big high five for everyone. Ula was consistently trying to be the best little player she could be and everyday carried a big smile.
Her coaches in Renmore AFC are shattered and will miss her enormously. All of our thoughts are with Ula’s parents, Egle and Linas during this extraordinarily difficult time. Renmore Soccer Club asks everyone to take a moment and hold a kind thought for Ula’s parents, in your own unique way.
We hope Ula’s gentle soul Rests In Peace.
Renmore AFC
A GoFundMe has been set up by her friends and colleagues at Salthill Hotel, on behalf of all those who wish to help in some small but meaningful way.
If you can contribute, please do. If not, sharing this page or keeping Egle, Linas, and little Ula in your thoughts and prayers means the world.
With love and gratitude,
