Galway United’s return to the Premier Division proved bitter-sweet as they suffered a 1-0 loss to St. Patrick’s Athletic in horrible conditions at Eamonn Deacy Park last Friday night. Although there were positives, United’s midfield lacked invention and failed to create chances of any quality.
“The advice might seem obvious: do the thing you talk about you want to do, that is the key,” says James McGregor, singer, songwriter, guitarist and thinker of four-piece rock and rollers The Clockworks.
Galway United may have returned to the pitch only last week in advance of their first Premier Division campaign since 2017, but the sense in talking to manager John Caulfield is that preparations are well underway.
When the Galway-Salthill Tramway ceased trading in 1918, it caused a problem for locals who had been using the service as public transport so a group of local businessmen came together on April 5, 1919 to register The Galway General Omnibus Company Limited as a public company. The directors were Thomas McDonough, Joe Young, Robert Mackie, Michael Crowley, Philip O’Gorman, Martin Hynes and Martin Finan. John Leech was the secretary and Joseph Garvey the manager.
