Galway's two representatives in the League of Ireland first division both face midlands opposition on Saturday evening.

Considering their target is to avoid a last place finish in the First Division, Salthill Devon will be hoping to register a rare victory when Wexford Youths visit Drom this Sunday. Having only won once in 19 matches, Salthill are unsurprisingly the basement boys of Irish football at the moment, but they feel they can nick a result against a Wexford outfit that sit only three points above Paul 'Ski' McGee's side on the table.

League of Ireland football resumes following a fortnight's break and Galway United's Terryland Park collision with Derry City carries huge significance for Sean Connor's charges. Terminating the club's unwanted record for the number of consecutive defeats, currently standing at 19 is the mission, but it will be awkward against a capable Derry side. The Candystripes, always eager to pass and probe, are one of the Division's most attractive outfits so Galway will need to be willing and able from the first whistle.

Galway United head into the final game tomorrow evening before the League Of Ireland's seasonal break charged with the task of taking a dividend from the side immediately above then on the premier league table when the team travels to Drogheda.

Entries for the annual Derek Crowe Memorial six-a-sides close tomorrow (Friday).

One of the few real joys on the Galway senior soccer scene this season has been the substantial form of Mervue Utd.

Leisure leagues are running five-a-side soccer leagues throughout the year. Leagues have between 6 and 12 teams and run for six to 12 weeks.There are three divisions to suit your footballing standards. Winners and runners up of each league get trophies and a magnum of champagne.

Despite being walloped 4-0 by Shelbourne last Friday, Mervue United will feel tomorrow's tussle with Wexford Youths at Fahy's Field offers an ideal opportunity to post another home win.
