Senior:
The senior footballers completed their season with a good win over Cortoon Shamrocks in the league, guaranteeing Division 1 football for the coming year.
Minor:
Commiseration to the minor footballers who lost out to a strong Claregalway team in the county final on Sunday. the lads put in a huge effort but Claregalway were the better team on the day and got the breaks at the right times. There is plenty of room for optimism however with 11 of the starting team underage again next year. A huge thanks to Anthony, Sean and Brendan for all the hard work all year; the lads still finished the year as league and West Board Champions.

U16
Report from last week's county final win:
Our under 16's were crowned county champions on Sunday with a fantastic 2-15 to 1-7 win over Corofin. It was a game that had everything and our team were not found wanting in any department.Having raced into a 3 point lead, Corofin hit back to go 1-3 to 0-3 points ahead mid way through the first half. SKGAA responded in style with 6 unanswered points and went in at half time 0-9 to 1-4 ahead. What followed in the 2nd half was a joy to see with our lads dominating the physical, skill and mental battles all over the pitch. We scored 2-6 in the 2nd half and never looked like losing. It was fantastic to see 21 players contribute on the day and in fact all 26 players on the panel tasted championship football at some stage this year. A huge thank you to the players who have shown unbelievable commitment to our club and also to the parents and supporters who have been with us all during the year. It was a special day for a special team who have now vacated the juvenile section of the club in style
