GFA U13 Division 1 Boys
Athenry B 1 – Mervue United B 1

Athenry continued their league campaign against Mervue on a cloudy dry morning in Moonbaun. Athenry got of to a perfect start inside the first two minutes after Danny Morrissey latched on from a through ball to finish well out on the left. The goal set the tone for the first half with Mervue pushing for an equaliser. On the 23rd minute, Mervue’s sustained pressure paid off when they equalised through a well take shot into the bottom right-hand corner with both teams going in at the break level.

Mervue came out in the second half buoyed by the equaliser and looked to get ahead. Great work from Victor Murray in goals and captain of the day Noah Mullally marshalling the defence prevented some close Mervue chances with Paul Kelly and Setanta Jordan coming to the rescue on a number of occasions. With ten minutes to go, Athenry pushed forward looking for the winner but were denied by some resolute Mervue defending. A penalty claim was waved away and with time running out this entertaining match finished all square for both teams to share the points.
Well done on a hard working team performance which sets them up well for the rest of the season.

U16 Boys Division 2 (Sunday)
Athenry B 2-0 Colga B

A hard fought but ultimately well deserved win against a game Colga B in blustery conditions for Athenry B on Sunday afternoon on the Athenry astro. It took a long time for the game to settle as both teams tried to get to grips with the conditions. Athenry took the lead 10 minutes before half time with a superb cross from Ryan Pattenden found Bryan Abreu at the far post who guided the ball into net. 1-0 at half-time despite playing against a strong wind. Athenry dominated the second half but after a flurry of chances and near misses made the game safe with 12 minutes remaining. Great combination play between Killian Coffey and Nathan Flynn set up the unmarked Filip Wolanin who made no mistake. A satisfying 3 points at HQ despite the conditions. Thanks as always to our sponsors Galway Language Centre.

SFAI U14 Girls National Cup (Sunday)
Kiltullagh Pioneers 1 - 4 Athenry

Athenry U14A girls travelled to Kiltullagh to face the Pioneers for a bright but windy midday kick-off. Aided by an extremely strong breeze, Athenry took the lead after 15 minutes when Róise Gallagher collected the ball on the right and finished well with a low shot into the left corner. Kiltullagh responded immediately, latching on to a long throw on the right to equalise.
Just before half-time, the ever-hard-working Allanah Crowe broke through the Kiltullagh defence to slide the ball into the corner to make it 2–1 at the break.
Playing into the wind in the second half, the Athenry girls were forced to play the ball on the ground in order to move it up the field. Their perseverance paid off and midway through the second half Róise Gallagher made it three and two minutes later four with an expert finish into the top right corner.
Well done to the girls on a strong team performance in challenging conditions, and congratulations to Róise on her superb hat-trick.

Girls U14B

Craughwell 1:1 Athenry

The Girls travelled to Craughwell this morning for the local Derby.
Conditions were very challenging for both sides and Craughwell put some great attacking moves together during the 1st half but our girls stayed strong and resolute at the back and our Keeper Sìobha Grìallais made some fine saves. It was level at the break and midway through the 2nd half Eve Sunderland latched on to a breaking ball and scored the opener. Craughwell continued to attack and they won a penalty with 10 mins remaining. They failed to convert it and an away win was looking promising, however it wasn't to be as Craughwell scored a fine equaliser with 1 minute remaining.

Honours even after a great battle and we look forward to meeting Craughwell again in the Divisional Cup semi final next month.
Huge thanks as always to our sponsors Supermacs Athenry
