Galway set up All-Ireland final repeat

Thu, Jul 31, 2025

Cathal Murray's side impressed as they secured a 1-18 to 1-11 semi-final victory over Tipperary at Nowlan Park last weekend. They did not have it all their own way, but the Tribeswomen prevailed to set up a repeat of last year's final at Croke Park.

The Tribeswomen have not been in action since late June, when they overcame Waterford in a top of the table clash in Kenny Park. That win booked their passage straight through into the semi-finals.

THE FULL FORWARD: Galway’s summer belongs to the women

Thu, Jul 17, 2025

In my introductory column back in April, I spoke about how fortunate we are as a county. That sentiment still holds true – even in a year many would consider disappointing for our senior men’s GAA teams.

THE FULL FORWARD - Meath’s meteoric rise leaves Galway reeling

Thu, Jul 03, 2025

Ahead of last weekend’s All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter-final between Galway and Meath, my mind kept drifting — not to the famous 2001 final where Padraic Joyce’s shooting masterclass sealed victory — but to a far less memorable clash between the sides in a rain-soaked Pearse Stadium just three years ago.

Ahead of last weekend’s All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter-final between Galway and Meath, my mind kept drifting — not to the famous 2001 final where Padraic Joyce’s shooting masterclass sealed victory — but to a far less memorable clash between the sides in a rain-soaked Pearse Stadium just three years ago.

Galway’s dramatic campaign runs out of road against dogged Royals

Sun, Jun 29, 2025

Throughout this dramatic Championship season, Galway’s senior footballers have given other teams their head, allowing them strong leads, but having the character and the characters to come back from the dead.

THE FULL FORWARD - Hurlers at a crossroads

Thu, Jun 26, 2025

The Greenhills Hotel on the Ennis Road was my destination of choice and the place was packed full of Tipperary and Galway supporters. You certainly would not have thought you were just 400 metres from the clubhouse of Na Piarsaigh – All-Ireland winners in 2016 - when the roof nearly came off the place after 14-man Dublin produced a monumental shock to unceremoniously dump the Treaty out.

THE FULL FORWARD - Galway not for the faint of heart

Thu, Jun 19, 2025

Penalties. One-point wins. Late drama. Galway rarely allow their supporters a moment of comfort, the emotional swings of each game pulling fans from elation to despair and back again in a matter of minutes.

Make or break for Galway footballers

Thu, Jun 12, 2025

Pádraig Joyce's side travel to Breffni Park on Saturday with a host of permutations in play. Joyce will no doubt pass no heed to such possibilities. Take care of business, win the game and the rest takes care of itself.

THE FULL FORWARD - Déjà vu in Croke Park

Thu, Jun 12, 2025

The journey home typically follows a familiar cycle of grief. First, frustration with the players. Then the management, who inevitably get dissected in post-mortems. By Enfield, the County Board is often next in line. Everyone has something to get off their chest, and the bus or car becomes a mobile therapy session.

THE FULL FORWARD - Chaos in Celtic Park

Thu, Jun 05, 2025

On the balance of play, Padraic Joyce’s men probably should have lost. Somehow, they also could have won, with Derry needing a last-gasp point from Conor Doherty to keep their own season alive.

Successive wins over Offaly, Wexford, Antrim, and Dublin have put Galway exactly where they would have wanted to be at the start of the campaign, with a guaranteed place in an All-Ireland quarter final and a chance to annex the Bob O’Keeffe Cup back to the west for only the fourth time.
