FOOTBALL: Galway captain John Maher with Galway Bay FM's John Mulligan ahead of their Connacht senior semi-final against Leitrim

Following their Connacht championship success, Galway’s under-14s begin their All-Ireland series this Saturday (25th April 2026) in Mountmellick when they compete in the national festival of football.

The Tribesgirls will face Munster winners Cork, Meath and Tyrone in a round-robin format that will determine their seeding for the knockout stages and manager Seamus Tierney says it’s an important day.

Galway begin against Cork in Mountmellick, Co. Laois at 11.30am on Saturday.  They meet Meath at 2pm, before taking on Tyrone at 4.30pm.

Twenty years since they met in the first under-18 national decider, Galway and Kilkenny go head-to-head again this Sunday (26th April 2026) in the Electric Ireland All-Ireland Minor Camogie Final.

Kilkenny are the defending champions, beating Galway in last year's quarter-final, and were one-point victors when the teams met in the group stages this term.

Back in 2006, the Noresiders were 4-10 to 2-5 winners in McDonagh Park, Nenagh and featured future All-Ireland senior winning captain Michelle Quilty.

At the Electric Ireland launch to UPMC Nowlan Park's double header (which also includes the Minor A Shield Final between Waterford and Wexford), Michelle Quilty caught up with Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly for a chat.
