SOCCER: Galway United manager John Caulfield with Galway Bay FM's Mike Rafferty after their 3-2 defeat to Bohemians

Galway United suffered a devastating defeat to Bohemians in Eamonn Deacy Park on Friday (11th September) after seeing a two-goal lead wiped away.

Stephen Walsh put the hosts 1-0 up in the first half before Kris Twardek doubled that advantage on 52 minutes. But two Colm Whelan goals in the final quarter hour, plus a Ross Tierney strike gave Bohemians the spoils, leaving United just three points off the relegation zone.

Galway Bay FM's match commentary team were Mike Rafferty and Derek Rogers.
