In the early days, they were given a clubhouse in the old Galway Steamship Company. Initially they wore green jerseys, but later they changed to colour to black and were often referred to as “The Blacks”. The first team to represent the club was made up entirely of men who worked on the docks, so inevitably, they became known as “The Dockers”.
