Hard luck to our over 35s Ladies who were agonisingly beaten on penos last night in the Ladies Over 35s Final.

The Club is very proud of the players and management and congratulate them on a fantastic campaign.

Top scorer Nicola Deacy had West in front early with a fantastic finish,Cregmore brought the game to extra time with a very good goal of their own.

Cregmore had an opportunity to win it in Extra Time but West Utd keeper Bairbre Curran took off a fantastic save to send the game to the dreaded penalty shootout.

This was a magnificent feat for the ladies especially given Cregmore would of been hot favourites,They played with a never say die attitude throughout.

In the shootout Cregmore prevailed 5-4 on penos in what was a brilliant advert for Ladies Over 35s Soccer.

A Huge Thank you to Colemanstown for the use of their brilliant facilities,Also a huge thanks to the GFA for running a great competition all summer 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬⚽️⚽️⚽️

All roads lead to Colemanstown tomorrow evening as West take on Cregmore in the Final of the Ladies Over 35s.

Over 35s Semi Final

Salthill Devon 0-2 West Utd
Sean Murphy ⚽️
Mark Sweeney ⚽️

West produced a fantastic performance to qualify for the Galway Over 35s Football A Final by dispatching Red Hot favourites Salthill Devon in Drom.

In an even 1st half West held sway with Simon Murray coming closest for West and Dean Walsh denied Salthill early on with a great save.

The 1st half was a war of attrition,Rico Casey must of thought he was on a tackle bonus as he flew into tackles from the off,West showed flashes through Sean Keogh Simon Murray and Richard Quinn but in general defences held sway.

0-0 at the break but whatever was said by the dynamic duo at Half Time (Bruiser and Big Al) West came out of the gates flying and when Mixer Devaney took on all comers and slalomed through the Salthill Defence,He was crudely taken down.

Up stepped former Salthill Devon man with the wand of a left foot Sean Murphy to fire West in front.

With over 30 minutes to see out West really rolled up their sleeves as Salthill threw the proverbial kitchen sink at West,The back 4 of Murphy Farragher Clancy and Lynch must have concussion this morning with all the headed clearances.

Salthill grew more and more desperate for an equaliser and when they finally breached the West wall they found Dean Walsh was not for passing with two incredible saves.

West would need the all important 2nd goal it seemed and with Moloney and the fresh legs of Corcoran Sherry Sweeney and Dolan providing almost a 2nd back 5 for West.

The goal came when Dolan released Sweeney in the 89th minute and he raced through from halfway to score a brilliant clinching goal much to the delight of the West Utd bench.

With injury time to navigate a very good Salthill side kept pushing but West Utd were like a dog possessed as they saw out a brilliant victory to set up a final with Oughterard.

Daniel Browne and Alan Cubbard will be looking to add to the trophy they annexed against Corrib Rangers two years ago having not competed in last years competition,With the dream team back in the dugout hopefully they can deliver 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬⚽️⚽️⚽️

Over 35s Result

West Utd 4-3 Salthill Devon
Mixer Devanney ⚽️⚽️
Jamie Sherry ⚽️
Sean Murphy ⚽️

West produced their best performance of the season to qualify for the Top 4 with two games to play.

This was a high quality affair between two strong sides,Sean Gavin and Rico Casey dominated the midfield exchanges from the off,West took an early lead when Gavin released Sean Keogh and he cut in from the left a curled a beautiful effort that Salthill keeper Miguel Posse done brilliantly to turn onto the underside of the crossbar and Jamie Sherry showed his predatory instincts to react first and head West into a lead.

Salthill equalised 10 minutes later when a defensive slip was punished.

The second half was an end to end ding d**g battle,West again started the better and Devanney put West in front after good play from Simon Murray,Then Sean Murphy got the goal of the game to put West 3-1 up but back came Salthill to make it 3-2 with 20 min left.

West looked like they'd cruise home when a brilliant Simon Murray corner was headed home brilliantly by Devanney to make it 4-2 with 10 left.

Salthill again came back to make it 4-3 with 5 minutes to go and West were under all sorts of pressure to hold on but hold on they did thanks to some great defensive work by Lynch Murphy Clancy and Corcoran.

Well done to the Gaffer Daniel Browne who is chasing another over 35s title 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬⚽️⚽️⚽️
