U14 Boys

On the playing pitch, the u14 Premier Boys put in a serious performance last Thursday night in Eamonn Deacy Park in the u14 Premier cup final and were unfortunate to go down to a strong Mervue side. Mervue took the lead from the head of Rory Melody with three minutes to go in the first half. There were strong performances from keeper Eoin Ahearne and the central defensive duo of James Whelan and Tom Delany with Daniel Cahalane excelling at left back. In midfield Evan O Rourke and Cian Horgan caught the eye with Gavin Smith scoring after good work on the flanks from Horgan. Delany undoubtedly put in an excellent stint for the Galway Clinic Sponsored side with Ciaran Black and Declan Burke doing well when introduced. Our club would like to thank Joe Burke and all in Supermacs Oranmore for sponsoring training tops for the lads.

U13 Boys.
