  • Galway hurlers catching fire at just the right time

    Galway         0-29Dublin           3-15HOLD your horses: maybe, the outcome of the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship isn’t a done deal after all. For Galway are storming up the tracks, as underlined by this statement championship victory over Dublin – a first on opposition soil – at Parnell Park on Sunday in a de-facto Leinster semi-final.

  • Galway can see danger in the Derry air

    DERRY haven’t won a competitive match all season and are in the last chance saloon against Galway at Celtic Park on Sunday (2pm). And that makes them highly dangerous opponents for the Tribesmen, especially after their blazing finish against All-Ireland champions Armagh at the weekend. Derry were 13 points down and only for spurning a heap of goal chances could have pulled off the most sensational of comebacks, losing by 2-21 to 2-17 in the end.

  • Dublin aren’t the force of old but Galway must still be in the zone

    Inside Track with John McIntyreUntil last year, it had been a noose hanging around the neck of Galway footballers. Not since the All-Ireland semi-final of 1934 had the Tribesmen defeated Dublin in championship football. Seven clashes in between had resulted in seven defeats for the Connacht title holders. But that poor sequence of results for Galway came to a glorious end in 2024.

  • Majestic Mannion turns the screw in big Galway victory

    Galway 1-29Wexford 2-19GALWAY are starting to catch fire just as the senior hurling championship is starting to get serious. A ten-point home win over a modest Wexford may not send shivers down the spines of Cork, Limerick or Kilkenny, but it still represented the Tribesmen’s most compelling display of the year so far. A lot of questions have been hanging over Galway in 2025, but they answered some of them in front of a desperately poor crowd of around 6,000 at Pearse Stadium on Sunday.

  • Galway must raise game for crunch round-robin tie

    1 month ago | connachttribune.ie | John McIntyre

    WAS it a modern-day aberration, or instead restoring the traditional championship relationship between Galway and Wexford hurlers? We will know a little bit more after the events at Pearse Stadium on Saturday (3:15pm). Up to the Leinster quarter-final in 2010, Galway had never beaten Wexford in championship hurling, losing all their previous seven encounters bar the 1976 drawn All-Ireland semi-final, with the Slaneysiders winning the replay.

Why is the Government waiting for further guidance from Nphet when the evidence is incontrovertible . . . Omicron is only a head cold. Time for our leaders to stand up and drop most of the Covid restrictions. Now!

RT @BrophShane: In a pandemic, surely there is one person that could be tasked with updating the Covid app each day. Nothing updated since…

RT @peterswellman: Rumour has it the Galway U20s gave the dressing room a lick of paint on top of a sweep and mop.
