A fantastic day out for all teams that participated in the The Maree Oranmore FC Invitational Finals Day. A host of teams enjoyed the good weather and enthusiasm from their hosts. The event saw our Academy girls and boys in action throughout the day and they certainly showed some skills and had fun at the same time. Well done to all involved in this event which took some organising, from the parade, the games and the celebrations afterwards. A massive shout out to Tournament Director Ross Melville and St Columbas Credit Union.

Renmore Senior A assured themselves of Premier Division football for next season with a local derby win over  Merlin Woods FC/Medtronic. A fantastic 3-0 win will see them facing the all new 21/22 season ahead with confidence and excitement. As someone said 'Renmore are back where they belong'.

Well done to manager Stuart and all the team and to the supporters who turned out today. A massive shout out also to An Pucan for all of their support for the team this season. 

Please Support our Supporters! 

Celebrations are still to come, watch this space!

Calling all Renmore AFC Supporters! 

Western Hygiene Supplies Div 1 Renmore AFC v Merlin Woods FC this Saturday at 2pm. 

A win for our boys at home this Saturday guarantees promotion to the Premier Division next season. 

The boys need all our support this weekend!  The lads would like to send their appreciation to their main team sponsor for the season An Pucan. 

They are looking forward to celebrating the season after the final whistle on Saturday.

It's been a mystery that has stood for many years now. Just who is that mystery cat Terry the Tiger?

 Many have thought that Galway United legend Ronan Coleman was double jobbing. Then there was the theory that maybe former United managers Sean Connor & Jeff Kenna were job sharing after their managerial tenures came to an end. And who knows where Nick Leeson is these days!??

All we know for sure is that a very svelte looking and welcoming Terry the Tiger was out and about with Renmore FC youngsters in Eamonn Deacy Park recently. 

With Galway United flying high in Division 1 and playing highly entertaining football then why not come on down to Eamonn Deacy Park and support the 'Tribesmen' and say hello to Terry. 

Whoever he may be!

Renmore 'B' 3-0 Oughterard FC

 Renmore will play high flying NUIG in the Joe Ryan Cup Final after tonight's results. 

Renmore raced into an early lead away from home at Oughterard's  'New Village' ground and extended it to shoot themselves ahead 3-0 within the early stages of the first half. 

In fairness to them Oughterard rallied to stem further Renmore attacks with some resolute defending at times, but Renmore were just too strong for their hosts on the day and could have added more. 

The date of the final is provisionally booked for  30th May @7pm in Eamonn Deacy Park. Galway.

Renmore AFC 2 - 0 Cois Fharraige. Renmore AFC took a step closer to Premier Division football next season with a hard fought victory over a dogged Cois Fharraige side.

 It took Renmore 80 mins to break the away side down when super sub Rory Glynn came off the bench to meet a Luke Byrne cross and send the home side into the lead. Soon after a fine finish from Sammy Omokua, after a through ball from Harry Rogers, sealed all 3 points. 

It was midfielder Odhran Monaghan's last game of the season as he is jetting off to the States for a year. Odhran has been one of the standout players this year and we would all like to wish him the very best and we hope to see him back next year.  

Everyone at the club would also like to wish Cian Gallagher a speedy recovery after his knee surgery last week and also to Shane Trill who suffered a nasty looking injury during the game.

 Next up for Renmore is a Michael Byrne Cup Quarter Final next Tuesday 26th at 7:30pm vs Oranmore in Maree Astro. All support greatly appreciated!

Final order for sizes not in stock of club tops will be placed on Sunday 17 April. No further orders will be placed for this season's kit.

Thank you for supporting Renmore AFC. 

Often in sport it's the win that is all important to both sides but this game showed that respect and tough tackling can go hand in hand. A sad day for the club who had heard that Renmore player Rory McNulty had passed away the day before. 

This game was preceded by a moment of reflection from both sets of players and a long round of applause that was heartfelt by all the players and spectators there. 

The game saw a Kinvara side snatch the lead after Renmore had the earlier better play. But it wasn't long however before Renmore were level and then went 3-1 up later on in the game. 

The home side spurned a number of chances in the second half to make the scoreline more emphatic than the 3-1 win. 

Scorers for Renmore were Kieran McGinty, Stuart Donohue and Ollie Sheppard.

All in Renmore AFC are heartbroken this morning to hear of the passing of Rory McNulty. Rory played with Renmore AFC since 2016 and was a part of the squad to be promoted to the Premier League. 

In recent times he was a part of the Junior B squad and he was always a great addition on and off the field. He will be greatly missed. 

There will be a minute's silence held tomorrow at the Junior B game at home in Renmore against Kinvara Utd at 1:30pm as a mark of respect. 

It truly is a very sad day in Renmore AFC. 

May he Rest In Peace.

Renmore were the 'ballboys' at Galway United F.C. vs Cobh Ramblers FC on Friday 1st of April in Galway.

We must have brought them luck as United ran out 1-0 winners against Cobh Ramblers in the first division clash at Eamonn Deacy Park.  

A Killian Brouder strike in the 67th minute won the match. With United having the better of the play the pressure finally paid off and despite a late surge from Cobh Ramblers, Galway United went on to victory, getting their second clean sheet of the season.

United's next home match is against Wexford on Saturday 9th April with a scheduled 5pm kick off. Tickets available here -

Another final to look forward to for a Renmore underage side as our U14's ran out comfortable winners with a 5-1 win over Tuam Celtic at the weekend in their Division 3 - U14 Cup Semi final.

It was Renmore who took the game to their visitors as goals from Matthew Hosty, Sam Newman, Sam Ojo, Barry Fennel, Michael McGrath and a fantastic team effort saw this side through with a well deserved win.

Renmore will take on Moyne Villa who won their semi final 3-0 versus Oughterard. Good Luck to Tommy Murray's side in the Final.

Saturday 19th March - Saw the U12 Division 2 Cup Quarter Final end Renmore 1-2 West Coast Utd. The U13 Division 2 Cup, Round 1, saw a high scoring game with Renmore running out deserved 5-3 winners over Galway Bohemians at home. The U15 Division 2 Cup Semi Final saw another win for the club as it finished Renmore 2-1 versus Cregmore/Claregalway B, well done to this group reaching a Final. 

Sunday 20th March -  A draw was a fair result in the GFA U17 Youths Championship as it ended Renmore 1-1 v Moyne Villa and in the U21 League away to Athenry a single goal victory gave Renmore the win. In the Western Hygiene Supplies Division 1 Renmore lost out to Craughwell United by the odd goal in a very tight match. 

A massive thank you to all of the officials out at the weekend reffing our games. Too many to mention individually but to stalwart officials like Danny & Buddy and Co Thank You!

Renmore AFC are delighted to announce our new sponsors for the Renmore AFC U12 &  U14 Boys teams. 

U14's-Thank you to David E. Menswear and all your team. Excellent quality coupled with style and sharpness, a bit like our U14 team! 

Coach Tommy Murray and some of the team in store accepted the kit from David.

They beat Corrib Celtic B away in Annaghdown at the weekend on a score line of 5-1 so the new sponsored jerseys seem to have done the trick!

U12's-Renmore U12 Boys also have a new kit sponsored by The Full Duck Cafe . Thanks to Martin and all of your team! 

They narrowly lost out 3-2 over the weekend at home against Knocknacarra FC.

Excellent work done by the FAI and club participants as they look forward to continuing  development over the course of this season. 

Massive shout out to The Galway Football Association for the use of Eamonn Deacy Park and its excellent facilities as well as players from Corrib Celtic who helped out with the session. A great idea to get grassroots clubs involved.

The course is designed to assist parents and coaches in how to plan, organise and implement FUN game orientated activities for young players.

A fantastic results that blows the Division 1 title race wide open as Renmore beat Colga in Drom. Colga's fantastic winning run was brought to an end as Renmore deservedly took all 3 points.  Despite going a goal down in terrible conditions, it was Renmore whose resilience was never in doubt, as they fought back through a couple of penalties to make it 2-1 at half time. With Colga trying to get back into the game it was Renmore who hit on the counter attack to win 4-1.  Colga remain top 2 points clear but the never say die attitude of Renmore means this campaign will almost certainly go to the wire. Scoring for Renmore were Keith Fitzgerald, Harry Rogers and two from Sammy Omokua. Next match is a trip to Letterfrack to take on West Coast Utd. 

A top of the table clash today as Renmore Senior 'A' take on a free scoring Colga side in The Western Hygiene Supplies Division 1 game on Saturday. 

The match is on at Salthill Devon's Astro in Drom at 3:30pm. Unbeaten Colga currently lead the way on 30 points with Renmore hoping to gain the valuable win to bridge a five point gap. 

A tough match that promises to test both sides especially with storm Eunice doing her level best to batter the country. So why not come along and see what could be a classic.

Good set of weekend results for our U12 Boys sides with the Division 2 League match ending Renmore 2 West Coast Utd 1 courtesy of Eanna Daly & Luke Seoighe strikes. 

In Division 4 it ended Galway Hibernians 2 - 6 Renmore B. Lisandro Gjejaj opened the scoring with another from Leon Clairon Hardy and Callum Flynn scoring 4 goals to win the game.

GFA U13 Boys Division 2

RENMORE 1-2 KILSHANVEY U

An early Nathan Kenny penalty in a fast paced match made this game an exciting affair. Renmore however conceded an equaliser from a deflection and went behind 2-1 in a blistering first half. 

Renmore came back strongly and kept the pace up in the second half and for large parts of this half brought the game to their visitors. Despite massive effort and chances from the lads it wasn't to be and the ref blew to end the match.

Well Done to both sides on an excellent entertaining match. 

Western Hygiene Supplies 

Division 1

Renmore AFC 3-1 Mervue Utd B
Another encouraging win to keep the push going for promotion that keeps Renmore 'A' in 2nd spot in Division 1. Evan Connolly scored with Luke Byrne scoring a brace to help secure another 3 points for Renmore. 

Although the win puts Renmore 11 points clear of Dynamo Blues, the Tuam side have two games in hand to try to close the gap. So still a lot of points up for grabs for all sides in this division.   

Next up for Renmore is an away trip to Craughwell United next Sunday at 11am! 

All support welcome!

Connacht Shield U12  Rd 2

Renmore AFC 5-0 Real Tubber 

Renmore progressed to the next round of the Connacht Shield with a polished performance against a hardworking outfit from Sligo today. A highly competitive affair throughout, Renmore proved just too strong on the day, with a hat trick for Finn O'Reilly complemented by goals from Oisin Gorham and Eanna Daly. Real Tubber worked hard throughout but couldn't break Renmore's fantastic defensive unit .

Well Done U12's who progress to Round 3.

A good week for both Senior sides as Renmore keep up the pressure on the league leaders in Division 1 with a 1-0 home win over West Coast Utd after a Paul Sinnott goal settled this match. In  Divison 2 Renmore 'B'' beat Oughterard 3-1 at home. Ollie Sheppard set them on their way with a Rob Mangan goal from close range adding another. Despite conceding a penalty just before half-time Renmore's  Kieron McGinty finished the tie off with a long range shot that nestled in the bottom corner of the net in the second half. Special note to Renmore debutant keeper Ger Hogan on an excellent performance today, calm and assured as his back line looked solid for so much of this game.

Renmore B Match Summary

In the U21 league it ended Renmore 1-1 Salthill Devon. Devon second in the table provided a stern test for the home side but Renmore didn't let that trouble them as they took the lead in this match by virtue of a first half goal from top scorer Enoch Abiodun after he finished a precise through ball from Luke Smith. Leon Sheridan produced a top class save minutes later when he dived full length to push the ball around the post to maintain Renmore's advantage to the interval.

In the second half Renmore defended their lead defiantly until 8 minutes from time when a deflected shot deceived Sheridan and found the net to give the Seagull's a share of the spoils. Great display by this improving Renmore side who were unlucky not to take all 3 points. 

Senior A's exited the TP Brennan Connaught Cup Round 3 on the dreaded penalties (aet 3-2) after a hard fought and scrappy game that ended 1-1 with Renmore battling back and equalising from a last gasp corner in a committed performance. Senior B also went out of the cup losing to an accomplished Claremorris side. Good Luck to all those teams who progressed to the last 32. 

We continue to run our Ladies soccer evenings on Thursday nights from 7pm at the clubhouse in Renmore with great commitment and dedication from our players come wind, hail & rain as it was the other night. Lots of football, skill and laughs as the sport grows in our community for the girls!

Despite a somewhat slow start to this game Renmore fought back to stay at the summit of Division 1 after a 2-1 win against Craughwell United. A Dave McDonagh double save from the penalty spot had a massive say in how this match went as the visitors went in ahead at the break with only a single goal advantage. A Harry Rogers equalizer brought parity early in the second half and a winner from inspired sub Rory Glynn brought Renmore maximum points for the home side.

MATCH REPORT HERE

Be in no doubt this game was a fantastic advertisement for tenacity and grit as Renmore U21's 'never say die' attitude paid dividends at the final whistle. 

Despite being 3-1 down it ended up U21's Knocknacarra 3 - 3 Renmore at full time with 2 goals from Anoch Abiodun and 1 goal from Chris Tshimanga.

A massive well done to Renmore players Liam Kelly, Paddy McCarroll, Finn O' Reilly & Oisin Gorham on representing Renmore AFC at the Galway Football Association U12 Assessments, from which the GFA U12 squad is to be selected. All of these players represented their club admirably well and Renmore would like to wish them all the best of luck.

In a 1st half dominated by Blues the game remained 0-0 at the break. In the 2nd half Renmore 'A' came out strong and Paddy McKernon hit a 25 yard thunderbolt with the outside of his right foot into the top corner to make it 1-0. Renmore then made a couple of changes to the team and went 2-0, Paddy Gannon with a bullet header from a corner.

The Blues struck back with 20 mins to go with a good finish at the back post. Andrin Kraja made it 3 - 1 with 10 mins to go when he went through 1v1 and finished well.

Great result for Renmore sending us top of the table. 

Match Report Here

What a game as Renmore stormed back from being two nil down to beat a good Moyne Villa side who had benefitted from defensive lapses from the home side. 

A final 12 minutes of sheer tenacity and a never say die attitude saw a Scott Rigney brace and an Ollie Sheppard winner see Renmore collect all 3 points when it seemed unlikely.

Lots of games to get us up and out today and tomorrow with the Academy also continuing today.

Renmore Senior A will have to enter the FAI  Junior Cup first round proper the hard way by having to beat Galway Champions Athenry. They are away from home in the Preliminary round of the Blue Riband competition. With kick off scheduled for 2pm this coming Saturday 11th September it promises to be a mouth watering affair for all involved. 

Other prelim matches for this weekend are 

Galway Bohemians v Colga, 

West Utd v St Bernards 

Galway Hibernians v Dynamo Blues

Watching Renmore B this season isn't going to be a boring affair if this match is anything to go by. A story of goals galore in the GFA Division 2 against a tough Oughterard team with some 'humdingers' that will surely be remembered for a long time to come.

This result saw Renmore battle back from conceding their first goal of the season in the first minute to producing a fully committed performance that will hopefully claim them many more points this season. With goals from Rob Mangan (x2), Kieron McGinty (x2) and a corker from debutant Alex O'Loughlin Renmore B's start the season with all 3 point's.

Renmore B finished 3rd overall for the season in the Galway Western Hygiene Supplies Division 3. 

In an enthralling game of football with plenty of goals it ended Renmore B 5-2 Colga B. Kyle O'Malley opened the scoring with Ollie Sheppard adding a second. With an Aaron McGinty brace and Shane McHugh goal Renmore finished the season in style.

After the game Rory McNulty was presented with his new top on behalf of the rest of the group.

Referee "Mikey Walsh" donated his match fee to Rory which was an incredible gesture and should be commended. 

Thank You to All for an enjoyable season and we look forward to the next fast approaching one. 

Our latest results for our Euro's Fundraiser are now available online. Looks like its going to be a tight finish for those at the top. Renmore statisticians haven't been immobile in the last few weeks with sterling work being done as they make shaw they bring you the correct results. We wont be throwing any stones at how England got to the final as we wait to see who at Renmore & beyond will mount a serious challenge for the top prize that will buy you more than a bag of rice! 

Great meret should be given to all of those who joined our fundraiser competition. Our early league leaders certainly didn't set a  walker pace. The team in white versus the Azzurri promises to be a great spectacle and hopefully give one or two of our league leaders a few exciting moments, hopefully no one will trippier up!!! 

(sorry for that last one).

 A great last day for our academy for this season. The Renmore AFC academy has consistently gained popularity and local kids have been joining with great enthusiasm. We had very special guests on this occasion as Galway United's mascot Terry the Tiger and players Shane Doherty and Carlton Ubaezuonu paid us a visit which went down well with the both children and parents & guardians alike. Other people who gave their support on the day included Jimmy O’Hanlon from Mr Whippy and 

Kevin Nugent from Delight/Ground and Co/Mr Waffle were also there. A day that we all enjoyed as kids got together to play football, exercise and meet their friends. We would also like to thank Ollie Hynes for his promotion and sponsorship of  healthy eating lovely fruit boxes for our young athletes as well as our unofficial photographer on the day Diarmuid Duffy.

Saturday next 26 June is the final day to pick up your club top. We will also have a clear out sale of old stock - €5 for shorts and socks in various colours and sizes. Tops for €10.

In other news Renmore Reserves had a good away win on a scoreline of 3-1 v East United at Castle Park in Division 3.

Welcome back to Renmore Soccer. Club Tops will be distributed from upstairs in the Clubhouse from 10:30 - 12:00 on Saturday next 15 May. In order to do this safely we will need parents to help enforce covid restrictions particularly the 2 meter distancing. Entrance will be via the emergency stairs to the meeting room on the side of the building with a one way system in operation. Exit will be via the fire escape at the bottom of the stairs. Masks will be mandatory for all adults. Whilst we will make every effort to select the correct size top for club members they can not be tried on children will need the assistance of a parent to select the correct size. Once the top is taken it can not be returned. Please let your coach know that you can help. If we do not have enough volunteers on the day we will not be in a position to issue the tops.  The safety of everyone is our most important consideration. Tops can only be issued to fully paid members registered on Clubforce. If we do not have the correct size in stock we will place an order for the correct size. Be Safe. Renmore AFC.

The Club Committee of Renmore AFC is pleased to announce that as of the 2022 football season we shall be changing club colours to Magenta & Maroon for all club senior and underage teams. This is to tie in with our rich heritage and tradition with our original club team colours. Club committee member Tom Hurley released a statement late last night which read "The club is always looking for ways to celebrate our foundation in 1973 and to promote and honour the club's original formation and what better way than to celebrate our founding with the original kit colours and to wear them with pride as we head towards our year of formation in 2023. This tasteful design, we would hope, will give rise to a few shirt orders also from our current club kit supplier." Please contact Tom for further information.

A massive THANK YOU to all of our Mothers out there. Renmore Soccer dot ie wants to celebrate Mothers Day and wishes you all to have a wonderful day. Appreciation for all that you do is a year long thing but today is a special SHOUT OUT celebration. Enjoy the day!

Renmore Association Football Club was first established in 1973 with the guiding hand of Club founders Bernard Shapiro and Joe Keating. Predominantly a Rugby & Rowing man it was Bernard's sons interest in sports that led him to get involved and proceed to help form the club as we know it today. The crest comprises of a swooping eagle with its wings out stretched, landing and gripping its 'prey' the soccer ball with it's talons. The eagle is featured on a white heraldic beveled shield background with thin black stripes, with the Clubs name emblazoned above. The eagle on the Renmore AFC crest was chosen as an emblem that denoted power as well as agility and speed.

Everyone at Renmore AFC would like to congratulate Kevin and all the Mr Waffle team on their tenth anniversary!
Kevin and his businesses have been a fantastic supporter of our club and community, for which we are incredibly grateful.
We hope everyone is staying safe and we encourage our club members to support Kevin, our local businesses and supporters in the build up to Christmas.

 Renmore U16's were in Connacht Cup Final action Sunday as they faced their  local rivals Mervue United at Eamonn Deacy Park.

With the score still 0-0 at half time it was  Conor Cooke who was the busier keeper but he was in good form keeping out a very quick Mervue front line for the first 40 minutes. It was disappointing to lose a goal so quickly after the restart and this set to tone for the second half as it ended 6-0 to Mervue. A learning experience for a young side who will be looking forward to the new season ahead.   

Renmore AFC would like to announce that Lorcan Fox itec, bbs (sports massage therapist) is now back taking appointments from Monday June 29th.
