Galway have made two changes for Sunday's final group game against Tipperary in the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship.  Clarinbridge's Niamh Niland and Sarsfields' Caoimhe Kelly come into the starting 15 instead of Shannon Corcoran and Mairead Dillon.

Following their victory over Waterford two weeks previously, another win for the Tribeswomen will put them in pole position to qualify directly for the semi-finals.  Defeat could see them needing to come through the quarter-finals next week in Croke Park.

Leading up to the game, Galway manager Cathal Murray has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Tommy Devane.

Two years on from their famous first championship victory over the same opposition in 90 years, Galway are back in Croke Park for an All-Ireland Senior Football quarter-final this Sunday (26th June 2026).

Tomo Culhane's late point dethroned the then reigning defending champions in a campaign that resulted in a second final appearances in three seasons.  However, Dublin did deliver a group stage win in Pearse Stadium in 2025.

Dunmore MacHales' Shane McGrath comes into the starting team for Fionn McDonagh in the one change announced for the quarter-final.

Leading up to the game, Galway Bay FM's Kevin O'Dwyer joined Darren Kelly to look ahead to the contest.  But first, they paid tribute to former Galway footballers Paul Clancy and John Coleman who passed away during the week.

Tomorrow evening, Galway's U16 Ladies Football team  ake to the field for the biggest game of their season as they face Cavan in the AirNav U16 'A' All-Ireland Semi-Final.

Galway Manager Damian Cosgrove spoke to John Mulligan ahead of the game. 

Sunday Independent columnist Jamesie O’Connor joins Niall and Sean on Hurling Chat this week and the former Clare star discusses:

·         How Clare and Cork easily won their All Ireland Quarter Finals

·         Dublin and Offaly now left to reflect on their seasons

·         Galway’s progress in 2026 is discussed

·         Can Galway spoil the Cork party in the semi final? What of Clare v Limerick?

·         The head high tackle is now in full focus after recent high profile incidents

A special tribute to the late Paul Clancy was broadcast on Galway Talks on Wednesday Morning.

Following their 1-1 Premier Division draw with Waterford, Galway United turn their attention to the Women's All-Island Cup semi-final this Saturday (27th June 2026) when they host Dublin's Peamount United.

It's their third meeting this season with United beginning this competition with a 4-0 victory against Peamount in April.  But it was a much tougher assignment in the league in May when Phil Trill's charges had to come from behind to secure a 2-1 victory.

Full-back Lucy-Jayne Grant has been a consistent presence at full back for Galway United, having made nearly 60 appearances.  The Cavan native joined Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly to chat about her career so far and look forward to their semi-final, but first they looked back on the draw against Waterford.
