For some reason the game of soccer seemed to be popular with Claddagh people. In the 1930s there were at least three teams representing the area. Claddagh Rangers were playing senior soccer, the equivalent of League of Ireland today, Old Claddonians were fielding teams, and by 1937, Galway Rovers were developing a youth team as well as a junior side. In their early days Rovers had no clubhouse, though the Old Malt pub could be described as a hangout, as could the Atlanta Hotel, whose owner Josie Owens had strong connections with the club.

Andrew Bourns from Eyrecourt produced Galway's best result of the week at the Dublin Horse show on Saturday with a second place finish in the final of the seven-year-old horses class.

WITH THE exception of Electric Picnic, the only Irish show the great Okkervil River will play this year is in the Róisín Dubh on Monday September 7 at 9pm.
