This Week In Salthill Devon

What a week it has been! Our senior men claimed a thrilling National League victory, multiple age groups progressed through cup competitions, and plenty of club representatives shone in Galway Interleague action. Here’s the full roundup of another brilliant week at Salthill Devon.

FAI National League Thriller as Men Reach Semi-Final!

What a game! Our FAI National League team claimed an incredibly exciting victory at NFP Park with some fine work down the wing from Al-Amin Obasa, who set up Ronan Kerin for an early goal. St Francis levelled before half-time, but our lads dug deep for a battle of a second half. Sam Begley made a crucial penalty save just five minutes from time, then Ben McDonnell was taken down in the box, leaving Princewill Diala with the composure to score the winner deep into injury time. We now go to the semi-final with the draw taking place on Tuesday to see who we face!

U16B Grind Out 2-1 Victory Over KFC!

Great win from the Under 16B team with a hard-earned 2-1 victory over KFC! Going 1-0 down, the lads showed real character to come back and grind out the win with goals from Daniel Charles and Patrick Mallard. Special mention to Rory Coen and Liam Ferguson for sharing keeper duties, and also to Finn O Brien and Tadgh Cullinane for solid defensive displays throughout.

U14As Battle Through Muddy Conditions for Hard-Fought SFAI Cup Win!

The U14As had to dig in for a well-earned victory against a physical Merville team up in Sligo. The pitch was a mudfest, which made it hard to play the usual passing game, so this win was all about workrate and attitude. Jack Conway and Sam Devitt took the lead twice, but the lads showed real resilience to come back each time. The team hit the woodwork twice and had numerous efforts just wide, but the crucial moment came with five minutes remaining when Fionn Hannelly took his chance expertly to secure the win and earn man of the match honours. Special mention to Seán Mulkerin, Dan O’Halloran and Omar Alali for their outstanding efforts. They now progress to the 5th round at Supermacs Ballindine!

Seven U16 Girls Excel in Galway Interleague Against Mayo!

Not to be outdone by our National League team, seven of the U16 girls represented Galway Interleagues against Mayo in the EDP this afternoon. The girls came away with an impressive 6-0 win. Rachel, Firinne, Shauna, Sorcha, Laragh, Robyn and Natalie all got on the scoresheet and delivered fantastic performances. Well done to all!

U14Cs Battle to Thrilling 5-4 Away Victory in Ballinasloe!

What a dramatic away game for the U14Cs in Ballinasloe! The lads went in at half-time with the lead after James Dunne’s free-kick, and a couple of great keeper saves kept them ahead. Early in the second half, they went 2-0 up from a corner stabbed in by Oisin Kyne. But this is football, and Ballinasloe clawed the game back to 2-2. Our boys regained the lead when Oisin Kyne rounded the keeper and scored into an empty net, then Ryan Murphy stepped up to add a penalty making it 4-2. The drama wasn’t over though – their corner back was fouled on the way to goal (but nothing given), and a late penalty gave Ballinasloe hope with two minutes to go. But Darren Ward produced a great save, and on the break Oisin Kyne completed a hat-trick to seal a brilliant 5-4 away victory. Two wins on the bounce – breathing room at last!

Four U15 Girls Excel in Galway Interleague Against Clare!

Well done to members of our U15 girls team (Ciara Faherty, Ella O’Donnell, Saoirse Ginty and Lauren Costello) who represented the Galway Interleague U15 team versus Clare. The team came away with an impressive 2-0 victory and all the girls made very positive contributions. Ciara showed her typical instinctive finishing with a goal in the box. Excellent performances from all involved!
