Galway GAA celebrates (Image: Bonham Quay)
Galway senior football team was in the mood for celebration after beating their eternal rivals at Pearse Stadium on Sunday 5 May 2024.
They had no shortage of spots for the post-match hooley, but the panel and the staff ended up in Bonham Quay’s rooftop bar.
Bonham Quay is one of the newest buildings down by the docks in Galway, and the location has quickly become popular for its outdoor area atop its eight stories.

The rooftop area offers a superb view of Galway Bay and the sea around the harbour. Bonham Quay was delighted to introduce the 2024 Connacht Senior Football Champions: “We were delighted to welcome the Galway GAA celebrations here at Bonham Quay yesterday evening, after the Tribesmen retained the Nestor Cup in a dramatic win over Mayo in today’s Connacht GAA SFC Final.”

The bar quipped to fans of the Green and Red: “Apologies to any from Maigh Eo based at Cé na mBanbh! Look away now.”
Galway took the Nestor Cup home for the third year running and the 50th time in total on Sunday 5 May 2024. A one-point win gave neutrals the tight, dramatic game they wanted. Galway and Mayo fans, on the other hand, were put through the emotional wringer.
Galway were two point behind as the game ticked over 70 minutes, a late, late drew them level. The game was set up for Conor Gleeson to emerge from his goal and take a 50-metre into a significant breeze by the seaside at Salthill.
Gleeson’s kick seemed to hang in the air for a lifetime, but it made it over the bar and into the history books, delivering the big five-oh for Galway as a worthy final looked destined for deadlock.

A recent debate about what is the best dual county in Ireland got us thinking. Okay, so this is a very arbitrary way of sorting such matters but what would each county’s final position in the 2024 football and hurling leagues tell us about their relative merits in each code?
Removing sides who only enter the hurling leagues and ranking them 1-32 based on their finishing positions (we told you this was crude) throws up some interesting comparisons. With a new format coming in for the 2025 hurling league (Divisions 1A and 1B will be more of a meritocracy and beneath those are Division 2, 3 and 4), it is slightly easier to put a linear ranking on the hurling league counties than in the past.
Which means that according to our highly scientific system, the top-ranked dual counties in the National Leagues are Galway and Dublin in joint-first, followed by Cork and then, slightly surprisingly, Kerry.
Propping up the table are Longford, followed closely by Leitrim and then London.
Would you not post the table up?
They didn’t even provide one despite mentioning it in the article.

jez, didnt think Kerry be that high
What are Dublin like at this level?
Dublin will fancy their chances here. Galway hammered them 4 weeks ago in the round robin stages. Galway have been twiddling their thumbs in the intervening period while Dublin have beaten Westmeath and Wexford. Galway now without Niland and Shaughnesey while Dublin are dealing with a full deck.

With all the glut of IC games, I actually forgot about that result. Won handy enough, but Niland scored two worldies from around the 21 yard line. We’re vulnerable without those two lads.

Agree, the gap has definately closed with events over the past few weeks. Looking forward to seeing Lohan again. Think he has it.
Who was the big Galway no 10 with the red helmet that caused havoc that day? Is it Davoren?
Lohan. Named MF now.
