On Saturday, Galway played Derry in Pearse Stadium for Round 1 of Group 1 in the All-Ireland Championship series. A great overall team performance from Galway, and the ability to make the extra man advantage count with the deserved dismissal of All-Star Gareth McKinless after 20 minutes, ensured a significant victory with the score finishing on Galway 2-14 Derry 0-15. Dylan McHugh and Liam Silke started the game for Galway, while Patrick Egan and Kieran Molloy were named on the bench.

Om Friday the Junior team played their Division 4 League game against Monivea-Abbey in Corofin. It was a great game for the spectator as Lorraine Ryder (x2) and Rachel burke displayed some clinical finishing in front of goal. A superb team performance with some great defending from the girls to keep a strong Monivea-Abbey at bay. The game finished Corofin 3-08 Monivea-Abbey 2-05.

 

On Sunday the Senior team played their final round of Division 1 as they hosted the reigning All-Ireland champions Kilkerrin-Clonberne in Corofin.
