Galway Senior Camogie Manager Cathal Murray spoke to Tommy Devane after Galway's loss to Waterford in the National Camogie League Division 1A at Kenny Park, Athenry, on Saturday afternoon.

Portumna Community Schools' Captain Conor Murray spoke to Darren Kelly after his side were crowned Connacht Post Primary Schools Senior B Hurling Champions for the second time in three years, after a 1-18 to 0-13 victory over Holy Rosary College Mountbellew at St.Croans GAA Grounds, Enfield on Saturday afternoon.

Portumna Community Schools' joint-manager Kevin Hanney spoke to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly after victory over Holy Rosary College Mountbellew in the Connacht Post Primary Schools Senior B Hurling Final played at St.Croan's GAA Grounds, Enfield on Saturday afternoon...

Galway United claimed the bragging rights in the 100th Connacht Derby in Eamonn Deacy Park on Friday (27th February 2026) with their first victory in this season's SSE Airtricity League Premier Division.

Jimmy Keohane's goal on 19 minutes proved the difference and moved the Tribesmen up to seventh, with Sligo Rovers now firmly at the bottom.

Galway Bay FM's match commentary team were Mike Rafferty and Derek Rogers.

Galway United's next game is away to St. Patrick's Athletic on Monday, 2nd March.  Kick-off at Richmond Park is 7.45pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM.

Following the disappointment of defeat to Roscommon, Galway will look to get their National Football League campaign back on track on Sunday (1st March) when they travel to take on Division 1 leaders Donegal.

The Tir Conaill men are 13 games unbeaten in Ballyshannon, but the Tribesmen have a good recent record against the Ulster champions.  They drew on their last trip to Letterkenny in 2020, with goals from Johnny Heaney and Sean Kelly securing a 2-8 to 2-7 win in manager Padraic Joyce's first season in charge.

Galway have made three changes to the starting team with Liam Silke, Ciarán Mulhern and Oisin Mac Donnacha all named in the starting 15.

Galway's Johnny Heaney has taken a year out but hopes to return to the maroon and white in 2027.  He caught up with Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly to chat about how things are going and to look ahead to the team's trip to Donegal.
