William Rufus DeVane King was born on April 7, 1786, in Sampson County, North Carolina. His ancestry reached back to some of the earliest European settlers in the Southern colonies. His father, William King, was of Irish descent, with ancestors believed to have emigrated from Ulster to the American colonies in the early 1700s. The King family settled in North Carolina, became landowners, and took part in the political and agricultural life of the region. His grandfather, also named William King, is believed to have fought in the colonial militia during the French and Indian War. William's mother, Margaret DeVane, belonged to a family of French Huguenot and English lineage. The DeVanes had settled in the Carolinas in the early 18th century, escaping religious persecution and bringing with them traditions of independence and agricultural skill. Margaret's father, John DeVane, was a planter and a patriot during the American Revolution. The King and DeVane families were both known for civic involvement, and together, they provided a strong foundation of wealth, status, and public service that would influence William's future path.

Galway have made two changes from their league final defeat for Saturday's Glen Dimplex All-Ireland championship opener against Dublin (24th May 2025). Portumna's Alannah Kelly comes into the defence, while Shamrocks' Ally Hesnan is named in midfield. Leading up to the game, and before the monumental Special Congress that saw 98% of delegates vote to allow shorts or skorts to be worn in competitive action, Galway manager Cathal Murray spoke to Galway Bay FM's Tommy Devane. == This is an intriguing affair as Dublin have consistently pushed Galway to the wire in recent seasons. There was six points between them in Kilbeacanty last March but after starting with a draw against Tipperary, the Dubs failed to secure another positive result and were relegated from Division 1A of the League. Galway beat Cork in the final group game to book their place in the decider but never showed up, with the Rebels exacting swift and severe retribution with the silverware on the line. The lack of provincial games for the westerners has often led to a slow championship start for the Tribeswomen so Dublin will look to rattle them early but last year's All-Ireland finalists will be favoured to prevail. Throw-in at Kenny Park, Athenry on Saturday is 4pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM.

Despite a perfect start with two early goals, Galway's minor camogie team came up second best to a strong Kilkenny team in Duggan Park, Ballinasloe on Sunday (30th March 2025). Strikes from Leah Behan and Mia Rodgers gave the girls in maroon an early 2-3 to 0-2 advantage but the Noresiders had overturned the deficit by half-time before adding four second half goals.

CAMOGIE: Galway senior manager Cathal Murray with Galway Bay FM's Tommy Devane ahead of their National League encounter with Dublin
Galway play their second game in this year's Very National Camogie League on Saturday (1st March 2025) away to Waterford. Carrie Dolan and the evergreen Ailish O'Reilly came up with some important scores as Galway got the wraps off their season with a win down in UPMC Nowlan Park over Kilkenny. It's another away day for Cathal Murray's crew, and a first home tie for the Suirsiders and with both sides assimilating younger players into the panels and dealing with injuries, it should be an enlightening game. Having faced the All-Ireland champions, Cork in the opening round, Waterford must now take on the runners-up. Beth Carton remains their attacking talisman but the concession of early goals had them on the back foot. They showed good resolve in the second half, however, without ever looking like reeling in the Rebels. Galway senior manager Cathal Murray gave his thoughts to Galway Bay FM's Tommy Devane. == Throw-in at SETU Arena, Waterford on Saturday is 2pm.
Galway begin their Very National Camogie League campaign on Saturday (22nd February 2025) when they travel to Kilkenny in Division 1A. The game was moved from Nowlan Park on Friday after it was deemed unplayable and will now take place in Dunmore Training Centre in Kilkenny. Manager Cathal Murray has made seven changes from last year's All-Ireland Final defeat to Cork. Shauna Healy returns to the starting team, while there are also starts for Alannah Kelly, Katie Manning, Sabina Rabbitte, Niamh McInerney, Mairéad Dillon and Niamh Niland. Clarinbridge's Carrie Dolan was named as the new captain this week, while Mullagh's Aoife Donohue and Athenry's Dervla Higgins were named as vice-captains. Leading up to the game, Galway manager Cathal Murray has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Tommy Devane. == Throw-in at Dunmore GAA Training Centre, Kilkenny on Saturday is 2pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM.
