The level of football on display was excellent and this group is really impressing every time they play. We will have training Sunday morning if there is no game arranged for this weekend.

The u14a footballers went head to head with Claregalway last Friday night in the Prairie. It was a fantastic match with both teams showing great skills and character. Claregalway started strongly going into a commanding lead in the middle part of the first half. Our lads battled hard even though things weren't going their way. The second half belonged to our boys holding Claregalway to 1 point, while scoring 5 of our own. The match went to the wire with a last kick of the match converted free from Patrick Maughan to bring it level. Final score Claregalway 1-7 Salthill Knocknacarra 0-10. It was great to have such good support on the sideline from parents and family, and especially towards the end when the senior team lended their vocal support. Two matches remain before quarter final pairings are made, Bearna (Home) date tbc and Moycullen (Away) Fri July 13th.

The Div 4 Shield semi-final then took place on Sunday vs St.James's in Renmore. After what was a thrilling contest, SKGAA Girls emerged victorious on a scoreline of 7-7 to 6-5. And they are now, deservedly, in a final!
U14 Div 1 team played Monivea on Monday evening in the league semi-final in Monivea. The girls played well and gave it everything in a fairly evenly matched contest but ultimately lost out on a scoreline of 3-7 to 2-7. Coachs very pleased with this team's development and fully expect them to give the Div 1 championship a good rattle in due course. Finally best wishes from the whole squad to our captain Joanne O'Flaherty who we hope to have back playing with us very soon.
