Replying To Seanfan: "Paul Conroy retires !" Best of luck to Paul on his retirement. Great service to club and county for so many years. Always played the game in a clean and sporting manner. A chance now for Fitzmorris to start rebuilding with a few new faces Rossieforever (Roscommon) - Posts: 145 - 12/11/2026 15:04:28 2700204 Link
Replying To ValPadden: "3 flukey goals? Sounds like a good game" I didnt say 3 flukey goals.I said the last goal was flukey and rocked CG as it was tied at 59 mins and then Geralds got momentum for last few mins so yes the score doesn't reflect the game.

Thanks Paul for all you did during your career with Galway. Your dedication, effort and and no shortage of ability was a joy to watch. Thanks for the memories. A gentleman off the pitch as well. A generational player. Enjoy your retirement and hopefully we get to see you at some stage in the years ahead (in backroom) with some under age teams/Senior Team. Go Raibh Mile Maith le gach rud.

One of the greats of Galway football has retired. Thank you Paul Conroy for the immense service you put in for this county. From captaining our AI winning minors back in 2007 to the hugely deserved footballer of the year in 2024 and onwards to your retirement, Paul always gave it his all for the maroon and white. Making a senior debut in 2008, one year out of minor, to hanging up the boots now, what a massive dedication and service at the highest level of our game to all that love Galway football. A gent off the field too. Well done and Thank you Paul. togoutlads (Galway) - Posts: 1150 - 13/11/2026 13:03:17 2700282 Link

One of Galway's best ever players. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 4934 - 13/11/2026 21:12:06 2700315 Link

A great win for Salthill, fair play to them, super to see a Galway team pushing on. Our new Galway manager was in attendance and will be delighted to see Finnerty, Maher, Thompson, O Flaherty, Sweeney, Culhane all putting in serious games..

Congratulations Salthill! Brilliant comeback. Best of luck against the Mayo champions in the Connacht Final. And a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Paul Conroy. Best of luck in your future and thanks for the great memories. SouthGalway (Galway) - Posts: 295 - 15/11/2026 19:02:50 2700469 Link
Well done, SK. They did Galway football proud taking down that St Brigid's team. SK will need to play much better and get far more clinical in the Connacht final. Leaving too much after them. That can be addressed though, you'd feel. Hope they keep driving on. Good for the whole club scene here in the county if they do. Best of luck. togoutlads (Galway) - Posts: 1150 - 15/11/2026 19:06:33 2700470 Link

The names mentioned should feature for Galway. Bar Culhane, who should feature as a sub for Salthill the next day out if we want to win ValPadden (Galway) - Posts: 26 - 15/11/2026 19:44:02 2700473 Link
Replying To ValPadden: "Great win. The names mentioned should feature for Galway. Bar Culhane, who should feature as a sub for Salthill the next day out if we want to win" You said a couple of weeks ago Salthill wouldn't even trouble Brigid's. They did more than that. Salthill will trouble any team. They have enough quality across all lines of the pitch, are very fit, strong, physical and have a brilliant attitude. Coming into winter football that makes them a tough opponent for anyone. It doesn't mean they're guaranteed to win the next day, but they certainly won't make it easy for whoever they play. Fair play to them today. They were deserving winners. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 3174 - 15/11/2026 20:35:31 2700478 Link
From a long way out I felt with home advantage for the semi-final that the Galway winner would reach and win the Connacht final this year. To be honest I thought it would be Moycullen but credit to Salthill for backing up their county final win by taking out the All-Ireland Finalists from last January. Of course will have to tidy up on shooting but I would expect a more comfortable win foe Salthill-Knocknacarra in the final in two weeks than they had today as far to close for comfort at the dead. Mannion and Maher very good today and Fitzmaurice could be without a few starters for the opening rounds of the league now Drax_the_destroyer (UK) - Posts: 1030 - 15/11/2026 20:43:25 2700479 Link
