SOCCER: Galway Bay FM's Derek Rogers reflects on two Galway victories in the men's FAI Cup with Darren Kelly on 'Sunday Sport'

Two Galway teams advanced to the third round of the men's FAI Cup this weekend and will be in the last-16 draw, which takes place on Tuesday (22nd July 2025).

Goals from Stephen Walsh and David Hurley helped Galway United to a 2-0 victory over Dublin's Tolka Rovers in Eamonn Deacy Park on Friday; Timmy Molloy's strike secured Salthill Devon a 1-0 win over Tipperary's St. Michael's on Saturday.

Galway Bay FM's Derek Rogers was in the commentary box for both games and he joined Darren Kelly on 'Sunday Sport.'

LGFA: Galway Bay FM's Katelyn Hayes looks back on the All-Ireland senior semi-final between Galway and Dublin with Darren Kelly on Sunday Sport

Despite two late goals from Andrea Trill and Olivia Divilly, Galway's dreams of returning to the All-Ireland senior ladies football final came up just short as Dublin got over the line on Saturday night's semi-final in Tullamore (19th July 2025).

Trill nearly won it with a point in normal time, only for Hannah Tyrrell to equalise.  But in a game of many frees, no yellow cards and dark conditions by the finish, the Metropolitans made their experience stand out to set up a clash with neighbours Meath in two weeks.

Galway Bay FM's Katelyn Hayes was in the commentary box and joined Darren Kelly on 'Sunday Sport' to look back on the contest.

LADIES FOOTBALL: Dublin 3-14 Galway 2-14 AET (All-Ireland Senior Semi-Final commentary with Galway Bay FM's Tommy Devane and Katelyn Hayes)

Galway are out of the All-Ireland senior ladies football championship after a heartbreaking semi-final defeat to Dublin in Glenfisk O'Connor Park, Tullamore on Saturday night (19th July 2025).

In an enthralling encounter, a Hannah Tyrrell first-half penalty kept Dublin in the hunt, but Andrea Trill, with her first kick of the game, looked to have scored the match winner in normal time, only for Tyrrell to equalise at 0-13 to 1-10 and force extra-time.

The Leinster champions edged in front before two second-period goals from Carla Rowe and Kate Sullivan put nine points between them.  However, Galway refused to concede as Trill and Olivia Divilly scored late Galway goals, but time eventually ran out.

Galway Bay FM's match commentary team were Tommy Devane and Katelyn Hayes.
