Galway will hope to continue their recent dominance over Mayo at all levels when they face each other in McHale Park this Sunday afternoon at 4pm.

Outgoing President, Gordon Ballantyne, welcomed a good attendance to the recent Buccaneers Rugby Football Club AGM in The Bounty.

Off the playing fields he was pleased to report that the club had “got control of its financial shortfall”, which was one of his key priorities in office.
