Boys League

On the playing pitch the u18 Premier side were pipped in Fahys Field on a 3-2 scoreline against Mervue midweek in a top of the table clash in a very close keenly contested game. The Maree/Oranmore goals came courtesy of Gavin Smyth and Conal Doyle strikes. Both clubs are at present joint top of the table.

The u11 boys had a fine outing against Colga fc in a series of mini games on Saturday morning last in Oranmore.

The u14 div 1 boys side squandered a 3-0 lead against Cregmore/Claregalway A side and went down 6-3 in Oranmore despite a hattrick from David Wosniewski in a game where it certainly rained goals.

Merry Christmas

Maree/Oranmore fc would like to wish a happy Christmas and a prosperous and healthy new year to all our club volunteers, our players and their families and to all our sponsors especially our main club sponsor The Galway Clinic.

Hoping to see you all in 2020, fit and well, raring to go.
