⚽ Sunday Round Up ⚽ (Part 2)
U16 BOYS B are through to the final of the Divisional Cup after a 4-1 home win to Bearna na Forbacha. Controlling the first half, the breakthough came mid-way through the half when Ryan got on the end of a ball across the box to slot it home. Barna started the second half strong and were back level just after the break. OAFC regained the lead when Tom's effort from the corner of the box flew past the keeper. Brooklyn calmly finished his effort inside the box to make it three. The game was put to bed 10 minutes to go when Jason smashed in a volley from the edge of the box. Brilliant performance by all the boys and a final to look forward to! ⚽ Thrilling win for U14 GIRLS against a very tactical Corrib Rangers opposition. The girls took the lead in the first half with a spectacular goal from Roisin McG, who went on to close out the game with second. Final score: OAFC 2 - 0 Corrib Rangers. ⚽ U12 GIRLS progress in the Connacht Shield after a 5-2 win v St Johns, Sligo. The opening goal came just before half-time for OAFC with a cross from Emily to Freya who buried it. St Johns responded shortly after making it 1-1 at half-time. OAFC took the lead early in the second half through Freya from a well taken corner by Emily who herself scored the third goal. OAFC's solid backline led by Ayla made it difficult for St Johns to break through. In the last 10 minutes another goal by Freya (for a hat-trick) kept up the momentum. St Johns determination pegged them back to within two goals in the final minutes. An own goal by St Johns in the dying minutes resulted from continuous pressure by OAFC. Thanks to St Johns for travelling from Sligo today and to all the parents who came out to support the girls in very wet conditions. Well done to all the Players and Coaches on another great Sunday of football! ... See MoreSee Less
In challenging conditions Senior Men had a tough 3-2 win away to Galway Bohs. Taking the lead through a great finish from Ronan Caldwell we pushed on again with Ronan scoring a second from the penalty spot after Cailim McDonagh was taken down in the box. Diarmuid Wickenden then scored directly from a corner, completing a dominant first half display. Although we let Bohs back into the game in the second half we dug dip to see out the win. Another great plus was the debut of James G from our underage structure to add to the list of young players this year in the squad. Senior Management would also like to thank Kilannin GAA for use their facilities over the last few weeks. ⚽ Our Senior Ladies were in hard luck today with a last minute goal by Kiltullagh from a corner kick. OAFC played a clinical game and were by far more tactical in a game that finished OAFC 3 - 4 Kiltullagh. ⚽ A 3-0 win in Furbo sees U18 BOYS progress to the semi-final of the Div 1/2 Cup. Great spirit from the boys, although it took a while to break Bearna na Forbacha down with the first half finishing 0-0. A goal from Shay early in the second half took the pressure off. A second from Elias and a third from James to bring us home. A clean sheet and a semi final to look forward to! Well done to all the Players and Coaches on another great Sunday of football! ...

U14 BOYS A advance to the Semi-final of the Champ/Div1 Cup following a 2-0 win vs Corrib Celtic. A tough and scrappy first half on a battered pitch ended 0-0 with OAFC creating the better chances. Devon’s patience paid off as he stuck two home in the second half to grab the win. MOTM was Mark. Whether No 10 or out on the wing, his workrate was second to none, looking for the ball at every opportunity. ⚽️ Well done to U12 BOYS A who won their game 3-1 vs Salthill Devon. In a very fast paced game, SD took the the lead. With chances at both ends it was OAFC who scored next with a shot from Joe. OAFC grew into the game and began to dominate possession. Cian took on the defence and hit a screamer into the top corner. Salthill threw in everything but it was OAFC who saw the game out when Cillian overlapped on the left to fire low across the keeper. Player of the match between Donie, Patrick W and Paddy. ⚽ Great to see U12 BOYS B hold out for the win in Newvillage after conceding late last time out. In a game that finished 1-0, Colemanstown might feel hard done by after hitting woodwork 3 times in first half. David bagged the winner after a lovely little triangle with Donal. Key factor was the work-rate of everyone, with our wide players particularly busy. Man of the Match was Charlie who took complete control of his side of the pitch. ⚽ U12 BOYS C played well as a team today with their game's scoreline not reflecting their performance. Going down after 9 mins, OAFC quickly regrouped with Enzo making some great saves and went into the break 1-0 down. Oranmore/Maree came back strong scoring a couple of quick goals. OAFC responded with a great strike by Niall, getting one back. Unfortunately, Oranmore/Maree scored three more to leave the final score 6-1. Man of the match was Tiernán, strong throughout in midfield. Well done to all the Players and Coaches on another great Saturday of football! ... See MoreSee Less

U17 BOYS A's Cup run came to a disappointing end at the quarter-final stage of the Prem/Champ Cup after a tough defeat to Kinvara. The game started poorly for OAFC, conceding within the first two minutes due to a defensive mix-up. Despite the early setback, OAFC responded well with James McG finishing neatly to level the score. OAFC struggled to build momentum, allowing Kinvara to regain control and add two more goals before halftime. Needing an early breakthrough in the second half to get back into the game, OAFC created chances but couldn’t apply the finishing touch. Any hopes of a comeback were dashed when Kinvara sealed the win with a late goal from a corner. A frustrating 4-1 result, but plenty to learn from as the team looks ahead to future challenges. ⚽ U15 Championship GIRLS put in a determined performance against league leaders Corrib Celtic. Despite coming out the wrong side of the scoreline, the girls showed resilience and character throughout the match. A tough encounter but they will look to bounce back in their next fixture when regular evening training sessions resume this week. Deserved win for Corrib Celtic, although the scoreline doesn’t reflect the girls efforts. Final score: 6-1. OAFC’s goal scored by Jessie. Thanks to Ciara from U14s for coming last minute to help us out. ⚽ U17 BOYS B lost out 3-0 to MacDara in a game which featured an incredible 17 saves by our goalkeeper. MacDara took first advantage after 15 minutes with both teams battling hard to the break. The better play and determination of OAFC was not rewarded with a goal in the second half and unfortunately we conceded two more goals in the last ten minutes of the game. Man of the Match went to goalkeeper Matija for his incredible 17 saved shots during the entire game. ⚽ Great commitment from U13 GIRLS who battled hard but lost out 5-0 to Salthill Devon. For 20 mins the girls played really well, winning battles all over the park and Lily G plucking crosses out of the sky. It was unfortunate to concede 2 quick goals before halftime. A tougher second half but the girls kept battling so disappointing to concede 3 more. The score doesn’t reflect the girls' effort and the coaches were really pleased with their commitment today. Well done to all the Players and Coaches on another great Sunday of football! ... See MoreSee Less
Our Senior Men had a good 3-0 win away to Cregmore/Claregalway. OAFC took the lead through a tidy Ronan Caldwell finish from a Diarmuid Wickenden corner. Cregmore came back into the game but a couple of smart saves from goalie Reuben McNeilis kept us 1-0 up at halftime. OAFC were the better team in the second half, and after spurned chances eventually scored again through Ronan Caldwell after a smart nod down from James Walsh. With 5 minutes to go Dean Greally scored to make it 3-0, capping off a good battling performance. ⚽ U15 BOYS B are through to the next round of the Div 4/5 Cup following a home win after extra time. Colga was dominant in the first half, deserving their lead with a header from a corner. Some good saves by Jack kept it 1-0 at half-time. A change in formation, a lot of extra determination and a great block by Dara led to John slotting one home to equalise. With six minutes to play, Colga scored their second but OAFC rallied and pressed forward before David equalised with 2 minutes left. Extra time was dominated by OAFC with John scoring three more goals. A satisfying comeback win putting these boys through to the next round. ⚽ U15 BOYS Premier faced their toughest test in the League against league leaders Knocknacarra FC. Despite getting off to a solid start, Knocknacarra struck first. OAFC continued to attack but were unlucky to concede another two before the break. A determined OAFC side came out in the second half and controlled large periods but couldn't break the deadlock with the game finishing 3-0. A good performance against strong opposition and no doubt will stand to the players as they look forward to a cup semi-final next Saturday against Mervue United. ⚽ Comprehensive win for U13 BOYS A away to Kinvara this morning. Two hat-tricks among the goals in a good team team performance. Goals from Paddy (3), Niall (3) and one from Loughlan. Well done to all the Players and Coaches on another great Saturday of football! ... See MoreSee Less
Both U10 BOYS squads were in action at the weekend. Team A1 played two fantastic games against Corrib Celtic A. Really hard fought and a great watch from a spectators point of view.

Well done all the players and coaches 👏 ... See MoreSee Less
Huge well done to U14 BOYS A who picked themselves up after Saturday's Connacht defeat to win a valuable three points in Headford today. A typical even Championship battle in the rain saw OAFC go in the lead twice only to be pegged back by Moyne Villa on both occasions. A winner came with 15 minutes to go and the lead was protected brilliantly by all the boys with heavy legs after a busy weekend. MOTM to hat-trick hero Devon with solid displays from our three new players Dara, Roman and Bradley made for a great squad performance by all to clinch the 3-2 win. Well done boys and coaches 👏 ...

Great results all round today starting with our Senior Men whose win vs West United places them into the quarter final of the Connacht Shield. OAFC started the game well playing some lovely football and creating some good chances. Against the run of play, West took the lead with a free kick from distance. This didn't stop OAFC who continued in the same way they started. OAFC quickly equalised with a well worked goal down the left wing. As the half went on, OAFC became more dominant and made it 2-1 through some more good football. A goal for each team meant OAFC went in 3-2 up at the half. A sluggish start to the second half saw West equalise to make it 3-3. OAFC had to dig deep and showed great fight. With not long left on the clock OAFC scored the winner. Fantastic result! ⚽ A cracker of a Cup game for U14 GIRLS went to penalties in a sunlit Newvillage this afternoon. The girls played some brilliant football against a well disciplined Merlin Woods side. The game finished 1-1 after extra time with OAFC winning 4-3 after penalties. Well done Girls and Coaches ⚽ Today's solid performance vs Kinvara sees U16 BOYS B advance to the semi-final of the Divisional Cup. OAFC started well and went 1-0 up when Tom headed in a free delivered by Harry. Five minutes later Robert scored after a scramble in the box. At the close of the half, OAFC broke up the pitch after a great save by Owen. Harry's great through ball then found Tom who calmly finished to make it 3. Kinvara put a lot of pressure on in the second half and got two back, but OAFC had enough left to close the game out 3-2. ⚽ And finally, U12 GIRLS took all three points in a tight match in Colemanstown this morning. OAFC took the lead with a goal from Emily, which she followed up shortly after with a great strike from distance. Niamh made it three with another super finish. Colemanstown didn’t give up and pulled two back in the second half, but OAFC held on. Final score 3-2 to OAFC. Well done to all the Players and Coaches on another great Sunday of football! ...

U12 BOYS A progress to the next round of the Connacht Shield following a super win away to Castlebar Celtic. OAFC took the lead after 10 minutes when Paddy won the ball in midfield and played a perfect pass for Evan to slot home. In the 2nd half Paddy fired in a screamer from distance. OAFC dominated the rest of the game to see out the 2-0 win with Paddy Man of the Match. Thanks to Castlebar for their hospitality! ⚽ U12 BOYS B came out the wrong side of a topsy-turvy game vs MacDara. OAFC went into half-time 2-1 up through David and Liam, and extended the lead to 3-1 with a peach of a back post header from David again. MacDara's female goalie had a worldie and kept out a constant barrage of shots. MacDara went on to score four more goals in the final 15 minutes to win 5-3. ⚽ Resounding win for U12 BOYS C who hosted Maree/Oranmore in Newvillage. OAFC got off to a great start with goals from Harry and Conor C before conceding a goal. A fine score again from Harry made it 3-1 at half-time. Five changes at the break saw the team go out with the same energy. Goals in the second half came from Paddy (hat-trick), Shane (hat-trick), Niall and Enzo. Well done to all the players and coaches Lee and Richard who stepped in today. ⚽ Disappointing score in the U18 BOYS game vs Cois Fharraige in Carraroe. OAFC played all the football with strong passing and control of the second half. CF took their chances to take the 3-2 win. Two goals from James G. ⚽ U14 BOYS A were knocked out of the Connacht Shield 5-3 on pens in Loughrea. The game finished 1-1 in normal time and could have gone either way with nothing between the teams. Goal came from Rory following a clever delivery from Sean. No competitive action for this squad for 7 weeks but a chance to get back to winning ways on Monday away to Moyne Villa in the league. Best of luck to Loughrea in the quarters! ⚽ U14 BOYS B dug deep to secure a 4-2 win and book their spot in the quarter-finals of the Div 4/5 Cup. Some last minute changes made the game a bigger challenge but credit due to the players for pushing through to secure the win vs Knocknacarra. Goals came from Sean, Loughlan (Man of the Match), Kielan, and Rian. Well done to all the Players and Coaches on another great Saturday of football! ... See MoreSee Less

Thanks to Ciara from U14s for coming last minute to help us out.

A determined OAFC side came out in the second half and controlled large periods but couldn't break the deadlock with the game finishing 3-0.
A good performance against strong opposition and no doubt will stand to the players as they look forward to a cup semi-final next Saturday against Mervue United.

A winner came with 15 minutes to go and the lead was protected brilliantly by all the boys with heavy legs after a busy weekend.
MOTM to hat-trick hero Devon with solid displays from our three new players Dara, Roman and Bradley made for a great squad performance by all to clinch the 3-2 win.
Well done boys and coaches 👏 ... See MoreSee Less

⚽ Sunday Round Up ⚽
Great results all round today starting with our Senior Men whose win vs West United places them into the quarter final of the Connacht Shield.
OAFC started the game well playing some lovely football and creating some good chances.
Against the run of play, West took the lead with a free kick from distance. This didn't stop OAFC who continued in the same way they started.
OAFC quickly equalised with a well worked goal down the left wing.
As the half went on, OAFC became more dominant and made it 2-1 through some more good football.
A goal for each team meant OAFC went in 3-2 up at the half. A sluggish start to the second half saw West equalise to make it 3-3.
OAFC had to dig deep and showed great fight.
With not long left on the clock OAFC scored the winner. Fantastic result!
⚽
A cracker of a Cup game for U14 GIRLS went to penalties in a sunlit Newvillage this afternoon.
The girls played some brilliant football against a well disciplined Merlin Woods side.
The game finished 1-1 after extra time with OAFC winning 4-3 after penalties.
Well done Girls and Coaches
⚽
Today's solid performance vs Kinvara sees U16 BOYS B advance to the semi-final of the Divisional Cup.
OAFC started well and went 1-0 up when Tom headed in a free delivered by Harry. Five minutes later Robert scored after a scramble in the box.
At the close of the half, OAFC broke up the pitch after a great save by Owen. Harry's great through ball then found Tom who calmly finished to make it 3.
Kinvara put a lot of pressure on in the second half and got two back, but OAFC had enough left to close the game out 3-2.
⚽
And finally, U12 GIRLS took all three points in a tight match in Colemanstown this morning.
OAFC took the lead with a goal from Emily, which she followed up shortly after with a great strike from distance.
Niamh made it three with another super finish. Colemanstown didn’t give up and pulled two back in the second half, but OAFC held on. Final score 3-2 to OAFC.
Well done to all the Players and Coaches on another great Sunday of football! ... See MoreSee Less

⚽ Saturday Round Up ⚽
U12 BOYS A progress to the next round of the Connacht Shield following a super win away to Castlebar Celtic.
OAFC took the lead after 10 minutes when Paddy won the ball in midfield and played a perfect pass for Evan to slot home.
In the 2nd half Paddy fired in a screamer from distance.
OAFC dominated the rest of the game to see out the 2-0 win with Paddy Man of the Match.
Thanks to Castlebar for their hospitality!
⚽
U12 BOYS B came out the wrong side of a topsy-turvy game vs MacDara.
OAFC went into half-time 2-1 up through David and Liam, and extended the lead to 3-1 with a peach of a back post header from David again.
MacDara's female goalie had a worldie and kept out a constant barrage of shots.
MacDara went on to score four more goals in the final 15 minutes to win 5-3.
⚽
Resounding win for U12 BOYS C who hosted Maree/Oranmore in Newvillage.
OAFC got off to a great start with goals from Harry and Conor C before conceding a goal.
A fine score again from Harry made it 3-1 at half-time.
Five changes at the break saw the team go out with the same energy.
Goals in the second half came from Paddy (hat-trick), Shane (hat-trick), Niall and Enzo.
Well done to all the players and coaches Lee and Richard who stepped in today.

Disappointing score in the U18 BOYS game vs Cois Fharraige in Carraroe.
OAFC played all the football with strong passing and control of the second half.
CF took their chances to take the 3-2 win. Two goals from James G.
⚽
U14 BOYS A were knocked out of the Connacht Shield 5-3 on pens in Loughrea.
The game finished 1-1 in normal time and could have gone either way with nothing between the teams.
Goal came from Rory following a clever delivery from Sean.
No competitive action for this squad for 7 weeks but a chance to get back to winning ways on Monday away to Moyne Villa in the league.
Best of luck to Loughrea in the quarters!
⚽
U14 BOYS B dug deep to secure a 4-2 win and book their spot in the quarter-finals of the Div 4/5 Cup.
Some last minute changes made the game a bigger challenge but credit due to the players for pushing through to secure the win vs Knocknacarra.
Goals came from Sean, Loughlan (Man of the Match), Kielan, and Rian.
Well done to all the Players and Coaches on another great Saturday of football! ... See MoreSee Less
