Could have been 5 nil. Good solid performance.

He’s holding off on surgery too which as we know from Sunday is an absolute disaster waiting to happen

Galway United will not be battling relegation this season. Top half finish beckons.

A top half finish ih tis.

A brilliant season, all things told. With a good striker we would have been lifting the cup tonight. Onwards we go to 2025.

Delighted with 2024. Was all about survival but they took some amount of scalps, particularly away from Terryland. They don’t score a lot but they die with their boots on every single week which is all you can ask.

Sounds like Clarke is retired after tonight and he’ll be a big loss after being one of our best signings ever. Walshy is brilliant but is getting on and as @Keadyshouldhaveplayedin89 says we need a good striker regardless. Hurley isn’t up to the level we need for an attacking playermaker sadly and can see him going. Cunningham’s out till at least summer because the break was on his bad leg. Hickey is rumoured to be going Tallaght.

Even with all the above I think they’ll attract more Keohane types in 2025 with maybe the odd magic Ollie Horgan foreign scouted masterclass.

There’s great momentum off the field too. Alex Murphy and Kyle Fitz are signed for Newcastle United. Women’s team are going well and the attendance in both is growing really nicely. There’s an opportunity there with the rising cost of taking families to the likes of Connacht rubby, who are underperforming. A Friday night out in Terryland is getting more appealing to casual fans.

With a young family I don’t get to go to as many games as I’d like. But I couldn’t get over EDP for the Sligo game. The place was hopping. It was a galaxy away from the home games I attended in the 80s/90s and naughties. Even last night, there was a healthy enough away crowd for what was a meaningless game for us.

Onwards towards 2025.
