Fixtures Minors Div 2 Final Saturday 2pm in Rosemount Athlone v Lilliput Gaels
U14s Div 1 Champsionship Semi Final Sunday 11am in Ballymore Athlone v Millmore Gaels U14 Girls County Final Group D Hard luck to our Athlone U14 Girls in the Group D final on Saturday against Clann Gaels. With five minutes to go we led by two points, but a free kick to Clann Gaels that came off the upright was finished to the net. Immediately after we conceded a 2nd goal from the kickout that they didn’t recover from. Some great performances by all our players in a this very competitive game, the girls gave it everything but luck wasn't on their side.

Athlone were pitted against Fingallians (Dublin), Roscommon Gaels (Roscommon) and St Brigids (Roscommon). 3 groups games followed for both the u9 and u10 teams. The u10s held a 100% record in the group stages topping their group with the u9s winning two and drawing one to also top their group. The semi-finals of the Cup competitions followed with the u10s facing locals Padraig Pearses and the u9s up against Fingallians. The u10s were narrowly pipped after extra time by the eventual winners Padraig Pearses, where our u9’s lost out to a stronger Fingallians side. The lads put on a superb display of tacking, blocking and teamwork throughout the day and were a credit to their coaches. A big thanks to Clann na nGael for a great day out for all our players and also to their hard work and dedication in organising it. Well done to all involved.

Results Minor Boys Championship Div 2 Semi Final Athlone 3-11 St. Mary's Rochfortbridge 2-13 Great performance from the lads to hold on in a thriller. Well done lads. match report to follow..... U14 Boys Div 1 Championship Athlone 3-12 Millmore Gaels 2-13 U14 Girls Semi Final Athlone 2-06 St. Pauls 2-04 U12 Girls Semi Final Athlone 4-03 Goldsmith Girls 1-02 Last Tuesday evening our U12 girls secured their place in the final of the 2019 championship competition after a hard fought encounter with near neighbours, Goldsmith Girls. In difficult conditions, the Athlone outfit overcame a tenacious opposition and through a committed display where defences were to the fore throughout. The key difference between both sides was Athlone’s ability to capitalise on rare opportunities presented and a great shift put in by their defensive sextet. This was the third meeting this year between Goldsmith Girls and Athlone and with honours even from the two previous encounters there was an added impetus in establishing the local pecking order. Final score line on the evening: Athlone 3-4; Goldsmith Girls 1-2. At time of writing we are awaiting confirmation of final opponents following the other semi-final between Loughnavalley and Coralstown/Kinnegad. The final is scheduled to take place on the weekend of the 21/22 September.

Club Notes - 9th September
Athlone U9’s host Barna and Clann na nGael. The future would appear bright for the three clubs which took part in an U9 blitz in Pairc Chiaran on Sunday morning. Athlone welcomed our neighbours from across the Shannon, Clann na NGael and the men from just west of Galway city, Barna. Each club fielded two ten-a-side teams and the determination and skill shown by all was a joy to behold. Each game was evenly contested and the only winner on the day was football. For Athlone it was a pleasure to have such good young footballers from Roscommon and Galway come and test their skills against us on our home soil. Athlone and Clann na nGael have a long established relationship in terms of underage blitzes and long may it continue. Former Coosan NS principal Michael Lydon was in charge of Barna and not surprisingly they were a well drilled and talented side. From an Athlone point of view it was evident that great progress is being made by this group of players. Practice makes perfect and the more time these young men practise their catching and kicking (especially at home!) the better they will become. All players and parents were treated to some well-deserved refreshments in the clubhouse afterwards. The good behaviour and manners of all the young men, both on the field and in the clubhouse afterwards, was something their parents should be rightly proud of. A big ‘Thank You’ to the 20 plus volunteers who worked hard on Sunday morning in car-parks, kitchens and on pitches to ensure the blitz ran smoothly and to those who brought food etc. Much appreciated. Our U8’s and U10’s host St Lomans, Mullingar next Saturday morn in another ‘Go Games’ blitz. Details to be confirmed. Athlone Blues- Rory Slevin, Antonio Canton-Quinn, Liam Ambrose, Cian Mannion, Paddy Stokes, Daniel Donegan, Fearghal Kelly, Micheal Cunningham, Harry Cunningham, Jack Costello, Evan Martin-Cummins. Athlone Whites- Cillian Silke, Sean Collins, Caimin Gunning, Isaac Mulvihill-Wilkins, Sam Meegan, Ruairi Nicholson, Conor McEnroe, Aodhan Fallon, Frank Pettit, Sachin Sundaresen, Fionn Macken, Joe Sullivan, Conor Johnson. Boys U14 Championship Congratulations to our u14 squad who had a hard fought win against Millmore Gaels on Thursday last in the Championship. Trailing by 7 points with 10 minutes to go the lads dug deep and never gave up and came out with a fantastic victory. Credit must go to both sets of players on a superb game of football. Up next are St Lomans in the final round. Congratulations Congratulations to the Westmeath Camogie team who won the All-Ireland Intermediate Championship after a superb second half comeback against Galway in the final in Croke Park on Sunday. Well done to everybody involved and best of luck in Senior Championship next year. Congratulations also to Tom and Paschal and all the crew in The Bounty who celebrated 10 years in business recently.

Athlone GAA Club Notes - 27th August
JFC Group 3: Athlone 4-14 Coralstown-Kinnegad 1-9 A flurry of early goals from the full-forward line of Sam Omukoro (2), Richie Greene and Dylan Lynch set our juniors on the road to a comfortable win over a game Coralstown-Kinnegad side in their Junior Championship Group 3 Round 3 clash played in Kinnegad on Friday night. These early goals, along with points from the Deba Okodugha and Emmet Collins, helped Athlone to a 4-5 to 1-5 half time lead, and further points from Joe Fallon, Eoin Jordan, Michael Byrne Tadhg Prendergast and David Fagan kept daylight between the sides, although they were grateful to young keeper Rytis Liaukecivius who pulled off a string of fine saves throughout the second half to prevent the home side from getting back into the match. Athlone: Rytis Liaukevicius, Shane Galvin, Andy Lynam, Rory Donnellan, Eoin Jordan (0-1), Emmet Collins (0-1), Niall Doolan, David Fagan (0-1), Michael Byrne (0-1), Conor Rushe, Joe Fallon (0-2), Deba Okodugha (0-1), Dylan Lynch (1-1), Sam Omukoro (2-1), Richie Greene (1-4) Subs Used: Tadhg Prendergast (0-1), Aidan St John. Athlone 6-13 Tubberclair 1-14 Our junior men made it two wins from two over the weekend when they accounted for Tubberclair in Tubberclair on Sunday evening, although the final result was flattering for the visitors, who were second-best for long periods of the opening half. Just as against Kinnegad two days previously, early goals from Sam Omukoro and Richie Greene their side an ideal start, but the home side dominated most of the half as they punished Athlone defensive indiscipline with a succession of pointed frees. Indeed, it took several good saves from sub goalkeeper Conor Devaney, who replaced the injured Rytis Liaukecivius early on, and a third major from midfielder Patrick Munnelly to give Athlone a fortuitous four-point lead at the break, 3-4 to 0-9. The visitors began the second half with much more purpose and teamwork and points from Richie Greene (0-3), Enda Daly (0-2) and Joe Fallon stretched the lead to 10 before Tubberclair opened their account. A coolly taken fourth goal from Niall Doolan made the game safe, while two more excellent strikes from Richie Greene to complete his hat-trick late-on put a gloss on the scoreline as Athlone eventually ran out 14 point winners on a scoreline of 6-13 to 1-14. Athlone: Rytis Liaukevicius, Shane Galvin, Andy Lynam, Rory Donnellan, Eoin Jordan, Emmet Collins, Niall Doolan (1-0), Patrick Munnelly (1-0), Michael Byrne, Enda Daly (0-2), Joe Fallon (0-3), Deba Okodugha, Dylan Lynch, Sam Omukoro (1-1), Richie Greene (3-6) Subs Used: Conor Devaney, Shay Byrne, Cathal Joyce (0-1). Playoff The above results mean that Athlone finish runners-up in Group 3 and so will play the winners of Group 4, St Loman’s, in the first round of the playoffs. This match is scheduled for 7pm on Thursday evening in Tubberclair so please come out and support the lads in this crucial game.
