FOOTBALL: Roscommon captain Diarmuid Murtagh chats to Galway Bay FM's Jonathan Higgins ahead of their National League clash against Galway

Following their 12-point comeback to draw with Kerry last week, Galway welcome Connacht rivals Roscommon on Saturday (21st February 2026) in Round 4 of the National Football League.

The in-form Rossies have beaten Monaghan and Armagh to sit in second place on four points, one ahead of the Tribesmen.

Roscommon won the last league clash in Salthill back in 2023.  Two years previously, goals from Paul Kelly and Tomo Culhane gave the maroon and white a 2-16 to 1-13 result.

Roscommon captain Diarmuid Murtagh acknowledged the year had begun in ideal fashion.

LGFA: Galway senior manager Daniel Moynihan with Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly ahead of their National League fixture against Armagh

After a week off, Galway return to LIDL Ladies National Football League action this Saturday (21st February 2026) when they host Armagh.

The Tribeswomen sit in third following two wins from their opening three games.  They beat Kildare 3-12 to 1-17 in Tuam Stadium two weeks ago.  Armagh have suffered two defeats in their three outings, including last week's 2-8 to 1-9 reversal against Cork and are in sixth, just outside the relegation spots.

That being said, Armagh were league champions in 2024 and runners-up 12 months ago.  They beat Galway in their last meeting (0-8 to 0-6) in 2024.  The girls in maroon last defeated the Orchard County back in 2017 when two late Mairead Seoighe goals gave them a 2-11 to 1-12 success in Tuam.

Leading up to the game, Galway manager Daniel Moynihan has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly and agreed that two wins from three wasn't a bad start.
