CAMOGIE: Galway senior manager Cathal Murray with Galway Bay FM's Tommy Devane ahead of their All-Ireland championship opener against Dublin

Galway have made two changes from their league final defeat for Saturday's Glen Dimplex All-Ireland championship opener against Dublin (24th May 2025).

Portumna's Alannah Kelly comes into the defence, while Shamrocks' Ally Hesnan is named in midfield.

Leading up to the game, and before the monumental Special Congress that saw 98% of delegates vote to allow shorts or skorts to be worn in competitive action, Galway manager Cathal Murray spoke to Galway Bay FM's Tommy Devane.

This is an intriguing affair as Dublin have consistently pushed Galway to the wire in recent seasons.

There was six points between them in Kilbeacanty last March but after starting with a draw against Tipperary, the Dubs failed to secure another positive result and were relegated from Division 1A of the League.

Galway beat Cork in the final group game to book their place in the decider but never showed up, with the Rebels exacting swift and severe retribution with the silverware on the line.

The lack of provincial games for the westerners has often led to a slow championship start for the Tribeswomen so Dublin will look to rattle them early but last year’s All-Ireland finalists will be favoured to prevail.

Throw-in at Kenny Park, Athenry on Saturday is 4pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM.

LGFA: Galway senior manager Daniel Moynihan with Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly ahead of their Connacht Final against Mayo

Following two group victories, Galway prepare to defend their TG4 Connacht senior ladies football title on Sunday (25th May 2025) when they meet Mayo.

It's a repeat of last year's decider which saw Andrea Trill get a late winner for the Tribeswomen.  But Mayo were champions in 2023 when they ran out seven point winners.

The winners will seed an All-Ireland championship group containing Donegal and Tipperary, two sides Galway beat in the league.  The runners-up must negotiate Cork and the Munster champions (Kerry or Waterford) to try and reach the quarter-finals.

Leading up to the game, Galway manager Daniel Moynihan has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly.
