SOCCER: Former Galway United striker Vinny Faherty with Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly ahead of the trip to St. Patrick's Athletic

Following their disappointing 1-0 defeat to Drogheda United last week, Galway United are on the road this Friday (13th February 2026) to St. Patrick's Athletic.

It's not been a happy hunting ground for John Caulfield's men in recent times, having drawn twice and lost three times in their last five visits, including last year's FAI Cup quarter-final after extra-time.

Galway United last won in Inchicore in the FAI Cup in 2017, but their last league victory was a 3-1 success in March 2026 thanks to goals from Vinny Faherty, John Sullivan and Enda Curran.

Vinny Faherty, who represented the club in four spells between 2007 and 2020, scored nearly 50 goals during his Galway United career and also represented St. Patrick's Athletic on two occasions.  He's been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly and they started by looking back on the Drogheda game.

Kick-off at Richmond Park on Friday is 7.45pm and we'll have LIVE coverage on 'Over The Line' on Galway Bay FM.
