This year's Salthill Fives will feature an array of fantastic activities to keep everyone entertained.

In partnership with Croí, our charity partner, the Salthill Fives is dedicated to promoting health and well-being. Croí will double their testing capacity from 2023 on-site, with two cardiovascular nurse specialists on-site, providing free blood pressure and pulse checks and providing information on heart disease and stroke prevention.

The 2023 event drew massive crowds, and this year, Salthill Devon FC is determined to make the 2024 tournament even bigger and better. "We guarantee all participants and attendees a fantastic weekend," says Pete Kelly, of Salthill Devon FC. "We look forward to everyone coming out to Salthill and enjoying themselves. We have a couple of well-known Galway football legends who will be inducted into the Salthill Fives Hall of Fame also".

Kevin Nugent, owner of Ground and Co. and the main tournament sponsor, shares his enthusiasm: "We are extremely proud to sponsor the Salthill Fives. Being part of our local community is a big part of our ethos, and we are delighted with this partnership. After the success of the 2023 event, we can’t wait to return to Salthill Park.”

Mark your calendars for June 1st and 2nd and join us in Salthill Park for a weekend brimming with excitement, health-focused activities, and family fun. The Salthill Fives 2024 is an event you won't want to miss!
