After 13 wins from as many games in 2025, the business end of the All-Ireland senior ladies football championship begins for Galway on Saturday (5th July 2025) when they host Waterford in the quarter-final. Both teams are unbeaten so far with the Tribeswomen topping their group, while the Deise had one win and one draw and only finished runners-up to Dublin on scoring difference. The last time they met in the championship was the 2019 quarter-final when Tracey Leonard scoring 1-5 in a 1-12 to 2-4 victory in Peares Park, Longford.  But Waterford did relegate Galway from Division 1 last year and finished 3rd in the top tier themselves this spring. Leading up to the game, Galway manager Daniel Moynihan has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly. == Throw-in at Tuam Stadium on Saturday is 3.15pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM.

Bobby Burns' first goal of the season secured Galway United a share of the spoils in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division at Eamonn Deacy Park on Friday (27th June 2025). The visitors led at half-time thanks to Ademipo Odubeko's 25th-minute strike.  But substitute Burns profited from a goalkeeping error six minutes from time to ensure these two teams couldn't be separated again for the third time this season. == Galway Bay FM's match commentary team were Mike Rafferty and Derek Rogers. == Galway United's next game is away to Drogheda United on Friday, 4th July 2025.  Kick-off at Weavers Park is 7.45pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM.

Skehana-Mountbellew-Moylough are the JFW Renewables Division 3 Hurling League champions following this one-point victory over Kinvara in Kenny Park, Athenry on Friday (27th June 2025).

Galway meet Meath this Sunday (29th June 2025) in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter-final, looking to make back-to-back appearances in the All-Ireland semi-finals for the first time since they were last crowned champions in 2001. They beat the Royals 0-17 to 0-8 in the All-Ireland Final that year and currently lead the Leinster side 4-3 in their head-to-head.  However, Meath won the last two meetings in qualifiers in 2007 and 2011. The Tribesmen will be strong favourites, but Meath have beaten Dublin and Kerry on their way to the final eight, and Robbie Brennan's team are looking to reach the final four for the first time since 2009. After the draw was made last Monday, Off The Ball's Tommy Rooney (from Meath) joined Galway Bay FM's John Morley and Ollie Turner on 'Galway Talks.' == Throw-in at Croke Park on Sunday is 1.45pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM.

Insomnia Coffee are in a 5-year partnership to be the Official Coffee Partner of the GAA/GPA (Gaelic Players Association), this is their 2nd year. Helping to bring the partnership to life are their brand ambassadors, Limerick hurler Cian Lynch, Kilkenny Camogie player Katie Power, Galway hurler Conor Whelan, Dublin footballer Paddy Small and Meath footballer Emma Duggan. As Official Coffee Partner, the sponsorship will see Insomnia Coffee commit to working with the GAA/GPA in providing the extra resources needed to help players reach their full potential, both on and off the pitch. The Kinvara forward chatted to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly about his role and also looked back on Galway's defeat to Kilkenny in the Leinster Senior Hurling Final. == Insomnia Westside you're go-to coffee spot— whether it's for your morning coffee, a catch-up with friends, or a well-earned break during the day.

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.

Racing in Ireland on Saturday (14th June 2025) is in Downpatrick. Cross-channel, there are meetings in Bath, Sandown, Chester, York, Hexham, Uttoxeter and Leicester. With his 'Saturday Six,' here's Galway Bay FM's George McDonagh.

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.

Connacht Rugby and the IRFU have announced the appointment of Stuart Lancaster as the club's new Head Coach. Lancaster has signed a two-year contract and arrives at the province with a wealth of coaching experience at the highest level of the sport, across all three major European leagues and at international level. He most recently served as Head Coach of Racing 92 in France, and before then enjoyed a hugely successful seven-year spell as Senior Coach of Leinster Rugby. With primary responsibility for the day-to-day coaching of the team, he helped lead Leinster to four consecutive PRO14 titles and four Champions Cup finals, including victory in the 2018 decider. As the news broke, Galway Bay FM's William Davies joined John Morley and Darren Kelly on Galway Talks. == He made the move to Leinster after four years as Head Coach of the England national team, with whom he led for four Six Nations campaigns and the 2015 Rugby World Cup in his native country. He was appointed to that role after four years as the RFU's Head of Elite Player Development, where his primary remit was to help young players realise their potential at club and international level. Lancaster began his coaching career over 20 years ago, as Head of Academy at Leeds RFU. He was then appointed Head Coach of the Leeds Tykes in 2006, leading them to promotion to the English Premiership in his first year in charge. After a further year as Head Coach, he was promoted to the RFU. As Head Coach, Lancaster will also have responsibility for defence, thereby completing next season's coaching team. Joining him will be new attack coach Rod Seib, scrum & contact coach Cullie Tucker, and lineout & maul coach John Muldoon. Lancaster will take up the role in time for the beginning of pre-season training in July, and will be formally presented to the media and wider Connacht supporters next month.
