FOOTBALL: Maigh Cuilinn chairperson Sean Houlihan and Galway Bay FM's Jonathan Higgins joined John Morley and Darren Kelly on Galway Talks to remember former Maigh Cuilinn manager Don Connellan

The GAA community in Galway and Roscommon is in mourning following the announcement that Don Connellan died on Monday (4th August 2025).

The Kilmore native won the Connacht Senior Football Championship as a player with Roscommon in 2001 before making his mark with Maigh Cuilinn.

He led the west Galway club to their first-ever Frank Fox Cup (senior football championship) in 2020, beating Mountbellew-Moylough, before repeating the trick against Salthill-Knocknacarra two years later.  They also won the Connacht crown in 2020.  He was Maigh Cuilinn for six seasons between 2018 and 2023.

A brother-in-law of former Galway player Paul Clancy, the Kilmore native was a Garda based in Galway for 24 years, and he was also part of the NUIG Galway backroom team that won the Sigerson Cup in 2022.

On Galway Talks on Tuesday, Maigh Cuilinn chairperson Sean Houlihan and Galway Bay FM's Jonathan Higgins joined John Morley and Darren Kelly to pay tribute to Don.
