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.
The Rossies sit on four points, one ahead of the Tribesmen, who came from 12 points down to draw with Kerry last week. When they last met in the league in Salthill, the visitors won 0-9 to 0-8 in 2023.
Two years previously, Galway were 2-16 to 1-13 victors in what was the final season in maroon and white for Tuam Stars' Gary O'Donnell. The former Galway captain joined up with Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly to look ahead to the game.

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.
