United move up to eighth place on one point, ahead of St. Patrick's Athletic and Sligo Rovers on scoring difference.
Galway Bay FM's match commentary team were Jonathan Higgins and Kevin Horgan.

As the 2026 National Football League reaches its midpoint, Connacht rivals Galway and Roscommon face off on Saturday (21st February 2026) in Round 4, with the winner effectively guaranteed Division One survival.
