National underage leagues continue

Four Galway United and two Galway WFC teams are in action this weekend

Brendan O'Connor's Galway U19s maintained their efficient start to the season with a 2-1 win over Cabinteely.

Mikey Conlon and Filip Mostowy scored for O'Connor's outfit, who gleaned a third win in a row. Maree-Oranmore's excellent facility hosts Sunday's clash against Cobh Ramblers.

Despite a gutsy display Martin Devlin's U17s lost 0-1 to Shamrock Rovers. Tomorrow United face Limerick FC away. Anthony O'Neill's U15s drew 1-1 against Athlone Town with Jack Weesjes scoring. United are home to Longford Town at East United's complex on Sunday.

Significant hope is attached to Xavi Vazquez's accomplished U14 squad, who proved too strong for Athlone Town. Graham Hurley, Jacob Carroll, Stephen Jennings, and Eoin Hannon, who bagged four, were all on target in the midlands.

Following two hugely encouraging triumphs at this level, United travel to Longford Town on Saturday.

Phil Trill's splendid Galway WFC U19s delivered a dynamic display at Dangan on Sunday when defeating Carlow Kilkenny. With goalkeeper Hannah Walsh impressive behind a solid defence Galway were always in control.

At the opposite end of the pitch Anna Fahey, who registered a hat-trick and the skilful Saoirse Healey caused the visitors problems.

Healey struck twice, while Aoibhinn Donnelly, Lisa Coen, and Jane Trehy also netted for Galway, who have already defeated Wexford Youths and Greystones. A home fixture against Athlone Town on Sunday.

The Galway WFC U17s eventually shrugged off Donegal's spirited resistance as Rola Olusola and Hannah Glynn clipped goals. Sligo Rovers at the Showgrounds will provide another stern test.
