A Leenane native has returned home for the first time in four years as a winner of the Winner Of Allianz Coming Home for Match Day competition.

Sean McDonnell won the competition and arrived home on Saturday morning from California, where he lives, before heading to Croke Park tomorrow to attend the Galway V Dublin quarter final with his dad, who hasn’t been well recently.

As he was making his way home, he dropped into the Galway Bay FM Studio and joined John on Saturday Sport. 

17 Swimmers from Galway Swimming Club (GSC) competed in Stuttgart’s International Swimming Gala last weekend and returned home with an incredible 33 medals.

The competition (Which was Stuttgart's 50th) included teams from many nations including Germany, France, the UK, Egypt and Nigeria.

Many of Galway's swimmers achieved personal bests in a 50m outdoor pool during a heatwave with temperatures of up to 35 degrees which is no mean feat.

The athletes who travelled are in the most senior squads in the club. They train between 6 and 8 times a week including three sessions that start at 5.30am.

This was all done under the guidance and support of GSC’s head coach Brendan Breathnach.

Katie O Hanlon, Senan Mee and Hannah Hussey joined John in studio on Saturday Sport.

SOCCER: Galway United manager John Caulfield with Galway Bay FM's Jonathan Higgins after their 3-1 Premier Division defeat to Shamrock Rovers

Galway United's hopes of a first competitive win over Shamrock Rovers in 20 years will have to wait as they were comprehensively beaten 3-1 by the SSE Airtricity League Men's Premier Division champions in Tallaght Stadium on Friday evening (26th June 2026).

Frantz Pierrot got a late consolation goal for the Tribesmen but early strikes from Aaron Greene, John McGovern and Michael Noonan ensured the Hoops went seven points clear at the top of the table.  Galway United remain in seventh place, still five points clear of the relegation zone.

Galway Bay FM's match commentary team were Jonathan Higgins and Julian Canny.
