Racing in Ireland on Saturday is at the Curragh (28th June 2025).

SOCCER: Galway United 1-1 Shelbourne (Men's Premier Division commentary with Galway Bay FM's Mike Rafferty and Derek Rogers)

Bobby Burns' first goal of the season secured Galway United a share of the spoils in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division at Eamonn Deacy Park on Friday (27th June 2025).

The visitors led at half-time thanks to Ademipo Odubeko's 25th-minute strike.  But substitute Burns profited from a goalkeeping error six minutes from time to ensure these two teams couldn't be separated again for the third time this season.

HURLING: Skehana-Mountbellew-Moylough manager Dessie O'Brien with Galway Bay FM's Tommy Devane after their Division 3 League Final victory over Kinvara

Skehana-Mountbellew-Moylough are the JFW Renewables Division 3 Hurling League champions following this one-point victory over Kinvara in Kenny Park, Athenry on Friday (27th June 2025).

The victors overcame a poor start, going four points down before Oisín Lohan's goal gave the north Galway team a 1-10 to 0-10 interval lead.  Kinvara came back after the restart with Darragh Helebert, who finished with 1-10, forcing parity.  But Ger Flahive's ninth point of the evening proved to be the winner.

Afterwards, Skehana-Mountbellew-Moylough manager Dessie O'Brien caught up with Galway Bay FM's Tommy Devane.

FOOTBALL: Off The Ball's Tommy Rooney looks ahead to Galway's All-Ireland Senior Quarter-Final against Meath with Galway Bay FM's John Morley and Ollie Turner

Galway meet Meath this Sunday (29th June 2025) in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter-final, looking to make back-to-back appearances in the All-Ireland semi-finals for the first time since they were last crowned champions in 2001.

They beat the Royals 0-17 to 0-8 in the All-Ireland Final that year and currently lead the Leinster side 4-3 in their head-to-head.  However, Meath won the last two meetings in qualifiers in 2007 and 2011.

The Tribesmen will be strong favourites, but Meath have beaten Dublin and Kerry on their way to the final eight, and Robbie Brennan's team are looking to reach the final four for the first time since 2009.

After the draw was made last Monday, Off The Ball's Tommy Rooney (from Meath) joined Galway Bay FM's John Morley and Ollie Turner on 'Galway Talks.'
