Just two teams remain unbeaten in the Premier Division after the opening two rounds of the season, with Athenry and Hibernians leading the way after defending champions Salthill Devon suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to newly-promoted Renmore at the weekend.

Athenry have made a decent start to the season, following up the opening weekend win over Renmore with a 2-1 win over Mervue United in Fahy’s Field on Saturday afternoon. All the goals came in the second-half, with Cole Connolly and Ray Moran scoring for the second week in succession as the visitors went two up, before a Lewis Waweru goal gave the home side a late consolation.

St Bernard’s picked up their first win of the season with a 2-1 win over Maree/Oranmore in Abbeyknockmoy. Matt Finn and Jamie Finn got the opening-half goals, before Kody McCann replied for the visitors in the second-half.

Corrib Celtic picked up their first point following a 1-1 draw with West United in Annaghdown. Scoreless at the break, a Keith Greaney penalty put the home side ahead, before Tommy Molloy also responded from the spot for the 10-man city side, as they also got off the mark for the season.
