Hard Luck to U12 BOYS Blue who lost out on penalties after a brave performance vs Ballinasloe Town FC this evening in the League Cup. A superb game of football ended 2-2 with Devon getting the brace. The lottery of penalties went Ballinasloe's way on the night but full credit to our players who gave it their all and battled all the way, not being fazed by the big home support. Jamie was Man of the Match with an excellent performance and a special mention to Conor who was under the weather after the journey but insisted on pulling the jersey on and delivering as he always does between the sticks. Well done to all the Players and Coaches 👏 We wish Ballinasloe Town FC all the best in the cup.
Great football played by U15 GIRLS this afternoon in their final League match of the season vs Cregmore/Claregalway. Always a tight game between these two squads, today was no different with the game finishing 1-1. Excellent passing led to a super goal from Ella. These girls have trained twice a week all season and have progressed immensely in their skills and confidence. ⚽️ Great performance from U12 BOYS Yellow squad this morning when they hosted West Coast Utd. OAFC started the first half really well, creating lots of chances. A free 15 yards out gave Senan the chance to curl a beauty of a free kick into the bottom corner to make it 1-0. West Coast battled hard in the second half and got their rewards with the equaliser 10 minutes later. OAFC brought on fresh legs and pushed for the winner right right to the end. The game finished 1-1, a fair result. ⚽️ Hard Luck to U17 BOYS who lost out 3-1 to Maree/Oranmore in the Cup. We wish Oranmore the Best of Luck in the next round. ⚽️ U11 GIRLS Development League continued with a trip to Salthill Devon this morning. Strong and enthusiastic performance from all of the players. Great to see the standard of football levels of enjoyment improving with each round. Well Done to the Players & Coaches! ⚽️ U8 BOYS and Coaches hosted Knocknacarra FC in a morning blitz. Great football played with plenty of passing, goals, skills, tackles and teamwork. Thanks to Knocknacarra FC for travelling to Newvillage Football Park. Well done to all the Players and Coaches on another great Sunday of football 👏
Spring was in the air for U7 BOYS who were blessed with glorious sunshine in Newvillage for an early afternoon blitz with Bearna Na Forbacha Aontaithe. Some 37 Boys took part in a great day out with lots of football and fun.

Well done to U17 GIRLS securing another great win today. Niamh R was in top form putting 4 past Colemanstown on the Kiltullagh Astro. Every girl on the pitch played their part with some great chances being made. Final score 4-1.
⚽️ Good win for the U14 BOYS in the Connacht Shield vs Claremorris. OAFC controlled the majority of the game in tough conditions. Goal scorers were Jamie (3), Darragh and Pete.
⚽️ It was a 3-3 draw for Junior Men vs Moyne Villa in the Joe Ryan Cup.
⚽️ Hard luck to U18 BOYS who went out of the Cup away to Colga in tough weather conditions. With just 11 players OAFC started brightly. Colga then went 2 nil up. The lads fought back well and were 3-2 down at the break. The second half started tight but Colga started to pull further ahead as the game wore on. The lads fought to the end as the rain continued to lash but Colga proved to be too strong.
⚽️ And finally, this morning U12 BOYS Yellow played a very competitive development game vs Galway Hibs. After going 3 down early OAFC battled back to 3-2. Hibs scored again in the second half. OAFC created loads of chances and scored to make it 4-3. We were unlucky not to get the equaliser at the end. Massive shout out to the five U11 players for stepping up to fill in for the lads who couldn't make it today. Really good performance from all players. Well done to all the Players and Coaches on another great Sunday of football 👏
U12 BOYS Blue are guaranteed at least second place in their league following a 4-0 home win vs Corrib Celtic in Newvillage this morning. Two cool finishes from Jamesey Mac and Cayden J put OAFC in front. A smashing header from Devon in a man of the match performance made it 3-0 going into the break. A tighter second half saw no goals until two minutes left when Sean F slotted a tidy goal home to make it 4-0. Fair play to Corrib Celtic who battled all the way. Two league games remain.
⚽️ U12 BOYS Yellow had a tough game vs a very strong Merlin Woods side. Merlin scored early and went into half time with a 3-0 lead. A huge effort from the lads in the second half saw us creating chances and fighting for goals. We wish Merlin Woods all the best in their promotion.
⚽️ Super home win today for U14 BOYS B vs Cregmore/Claregalway. Good chances from both sides in a tight first half, with goals from Aidan and Robert giving OAFC a 2-0 lead at half time. The result was never in doubt with four goals early in the second half from Robert, Michael, Ryan and Jurica. Cregmore/Claregalway pulled one back before Robert added two more for his 3rd and 4th goals, and Tom rounded off a great team performance scoring with the last kick of the game. Well done to all the Squads and Coaches on another great Saturday of football 👏

A snapshot of the torrential downpours during U21 Men's match in Headford last night. Tough conditions (too wet for a team photo!) and a very slow start made for a difficult night where OAFC lost out 4-2 to Dynamo Blues. We got back to 2-2 after conceding two early goals and looked the more likely team to go on and win, but a defensive lapse saw us trail 3-2 at the break. The second half was much tighter, and having pushed hard for the equaliser, we got caught with a breakaway goal in the last minutes. Hard Luck but well done to the U21 Squad and coaches for battling it out on a tough night weather-wise 👏 ... See MoreSee Less
One of the few matches to survive the weekend weather proved to be a cracker when U15 GIRLS met League leaders MareeOranmore in Newvillage this afternoon. Goals early and late ensured a 1-1 draw. OAFC going one up early on and MareeOranmore equalizing near the end. In between were moments of spark, passion, hard work & great football. Well Done to all the players and Thank You to the families for the great support as always 👏 ⚽️ Hard Luck to U16 BOYS who lost out to Corrib Celtic in the first round of the Div 1 & 2 Cup. The lads gave it their all on a challenging evening weather-wise. We wish Corrib Celtic the best of luck in the next round.

Goals from Cathal Sweeney and James Walsh sealed a great win for Junior Men today. A tough battle at home to Cregmore/Claregalway saw the visitors take an early lead but we clawed it back and grabbed a 2-1 win. ⚽️ U18 BOYS came out the right side of a thrilling 10 goal match with Kinvara Utd, also in Newvillage. Reduced to 10 men after just 15 minutes, OAFC showed incredible resolve to lead 6-2 with 20 minutes to go. The game finished 6-4. ⚽️ Also playing with 10 men were U16 BOYS who put up a solid performance and were in the match up until the last 20 mins before running out of juice. Goals from Elias and Andrew. Final score 5-2. ⚽️ Strong win by U14 GIRLS vs Knocknacarra keeps them top of the League table. Goals from Jessie, Caoimhe, Livia, Roisin, Mikaela and Emily. ⚽️ U12 GIRLS had a great game against Knocknacarra FC with a strong first half performance. Unfortunately, the goals went to Knocknacarra in the second half, finishing with a 3-0 score line to Knocknacarra. Well done to all the Players Coaches on another great Sunday of football 👏

Mixed results for four BOYS teams playing today starting with a solid 2-0 win for U14 BOYS Championship away to Barna. OAFC controlled the game from start to finish and never looked like conceding. Fantastic team performance all round with two goals from Jamie. ⚽️ Hard Luck to U14 BOYS Div 5 who lost 5-3 in what was a very competitive game from the start against a very good Tuam Celtic side. OAFC were unlucky to find themselves 3-0 down at half time but brought it back to 3-2 in the second through a great free kick from Robert and a close range finish by Oisin. Tuam added two more goals, but with the last kick of the game Robert scored another free kick for his second of the day. ⚽️ U12 BOYS Blue came away from Annaghdown with a hard fought 2-0 victory. In a typical battle against Corrib Celtic it remained scoreless until the last 10 minutes, but our patience paid off when Eoin D found himself in the right place to slot home the first. Mark L added one a couple of minutes later after finding space in the box. Credit to the defence and Conor in goals for keeping it out the other end and giving us every chance. Three league games remain! ⚽️ Very few chances for either side in Newvillage where U12 BOYS Yellow hosted Colemanstown. It took a great long range effort to break OAFC's defence when Colemanstown took the lead. OAFC came out strong in the second half and the game opened up. The players pushed all the way to the end but luck wasn't on our side and Colemanstown got a late penalty. The game ended 2-0.
