Galway United shared the spoils with Derry City at the Ryan McBride Brandywell in the SSE Airtricity League Men's Premier Division on Friday (13th June 2025). David Hurley's penalty on 10 minutes gave the Tribesmen the lead, but the hosts equalised through Kevin Holt eight minutes later. It leaves Galway United in seventh place on 25 points, two behind last year's winners Shelbourne in sixth.  Shamrock Rovers lead the table on 39 points. Galway Bay FM's match commentary team were Mike Rafferty and Derek Rogers. == Galway United's next game is at home against St. Patrick's Athletic on Friday, 20th June.  Kick-off at Eamonn Deacy Park is 7.45pm.

It's all on the line for the Galway senior footballers on Saturday (14th June 2025) when they meet Armagh in a repeat of last year's All-Ireland Final. Padraic Joyce's team need a victory to ensure their place in this year's preliminary quarter-finals, while the Orchard County are already group winners and through to the final eight. The Tribesmen could qualify with a draw or loss, but that would depend on Dublin beating Derry in the other game taking place in Newry at the same time.  Scoring difference could also come into play between Galway (-1) and Derry (-4). Galway Bay FM's Domhnall Ó Confhaola joined Darren Kelly on Friday's 'Over The Line' to look ahead to the game. == Throw-in at Kingspan Breffni Park, Cavan on Saturday is 6.30pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM.
