Kilkenny ease past below par Galway at Nolan Park
A disappointing start for Galway in the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship against old rivals Kilkenny at Nolan Park. While Galway matched their opponents in the early stages they lost their way and alarmingly failed to step up to championship level or create any goalscoring opportunities. They now face Offaly at Tullamore who narrowly lost out to Dublin at Parnell Park. Final score Kilkenny 3-24 Galway 0-21

Presentation College First Year winners against Clarin College
Congratulations to all the Club players on the Presentation College team who won the Connacht Post Primary first year hurling title defeating Clarin College in the final by 3-10 to 2-7. It was wonderful to see such a healthy representation of players from our Club on both sides. A special mention to our Club’s Under 11 manager David Casserly who was in charge of the Presentation side and Daniel Ruane who was captain.
Galway Under 20's defeat champions Offaly
For most of the first half, supporters on both sides saw a fiercely competitive contest and some excellent scores. Galway pounced on a misplaced James Mahon pass to score the opening goal from Jason Rabbitte.
Offaly still looked good but a hat trick of goals by Ryan O’Donnell was the difference at the end of a very satisfactory win for Galway and a place in the Leinster Final. Final Score: Galway 4-17 Offaly 0-19.
Galway see off New York in second half
Galway didn’t have things all their own way against New York in the Connacht SFC quarter-final at Gaelic Park. Two second half goals from Matthew Tierney and Cian Hernon helped to break the homeside’s resistance and propelled the Tribesmen into a provincial semi-final in two weeks’ time against Roscommon at Pearse Stadium. Galway’s main cause of concern is an ankle injury to All Star midfielder, John Maher, that forced him off in the first half.
A capacity crowd turned out to watch the Tribesmen’s first championship fixture in New York since 2015, and the Westerners eventually took care of business in style winning by 3-28 to 0-20.
The Club extends its deepest condolences to Jackie, Eddie, Maudie, the extended O’Shea Family and his many friends on the sad passing of Frank. An active member of the Club in the 1970’s Frank played a key part in the development Athenry Camogie Club over many years, winning several titles as part of the management, including four-in-a-row County Senior titles. A loyal supporter of St. Mary’s GAA Club he always kept in touch with Club’s activities and will be sadly missed by many Club members.
