1 week ago | advertiser.ie | Mary Byrne

A senior trade union official with the INMO and a member of the Western Health Board, she was elected to Galway Corporation in 1967, serving 18 years as a city councillor. She was the first female to run for the Dáil for Fianna Fáil in Galway West as running mate for Jonny Geoghegan and Bobby Molloy.

The story is still told about after the 1980 League Cup Final, when, despite defeat, Galway United’s player-manager John Herrick instructed his players to board the supporters' buses and thank them for coming. Shortly after the great man’s passing, there was some poignance to the symmetry of Ollie Horgan making his way to the buses after a famous win on Saturday. He thanked some of the 500-strong supporters for their backing in his own inimitable way.

Last Friday night could be seen as another high watermark of the Caulfield era. Only for a late rally by St Pat’s in Waterford, United would have ended the night top of the table. The exhilaration was tempered by the sadness that hung over the club after the passing of one of its greats, John Herrick.

There is a lot to being a League of Ireland manager. The role often entails management, coaching, recruiting, organising facilities and fundraising and sometimes more. One of the great gifts of any leader is an ability to put your message across simply. John Caulfield addresses the importance of what his group are doing with passion and directness. “What are we doing it for? I always strip it back down. We all know in the recent history, the club has had mainly bad days. Bad news, bad crowds.
International break an opportunity to rest and get players back to full fitness

1 month ago | advertiser.ie | Cian Byrne

With Galway United remaining the only unbeaten side in the league, on first impression the international break may seem like poor timing. However, it also represents an opportunity for rehabilitation for a significant spate of injuries. These injuries have stretched the squad in ways that were not foreseen pre-season. In early February, Greg Cunningham looked to be the main concern.
Waterford make the trip west as both sides look to maintain impressive starts

Games between Galway United and Waterford over the last number of seasons have proven decisive in the battle for promotion, safety and even had a fleeting bearing on the European race last season. Even though there are only five games played, it can’t be ignored that this game is a top of the table tie. Both sides have continued to confound expectations this season.

Galway United’s win last March in the Ryan McBride Brandywell was the result that demanded they be taken seriously by the rest of the division. Less than three weeks into this season, they have already accomplished that task as they seek to repeat a massive win tomorrow night. United have proven their worth against presumptive title challengers Shelbourne and St Pat’s at home. They have shown their steel away in Cork and Drogheda. They are yet to taste defeat.

BY EOIN CUTTLEBuilding on a clearly successful formula, Peugeot has given its tiny 208 (and E-208 ) an appealing refresh – one that's indeed, very hard to miss. The Peugeot 208 is an iconic model in the brand's range, having been named European Car of the Year 2020 before going on to be the best-selling car in Europe in 2022, knocking the VW Golf off its perch.
United's trip to Drogheda proves every game is a big game in this league

1 month ago | advertiser.ie | Cian Byrne

Every game is a big game. That is the simple creed espoused by John Caulfield. It has certainly felt that way since United’s return to the top flight. It also holds some explanatory power for the revolution taking place in Irish football, with attendances, interest and coverage soaring. In a hotly contested league, there are few, if any dead rubbers. Every team can take points in any given fixture. Galway United and Drogheda United have both proven that in their two openers.
