	Galway GAA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Galway County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association (Irish: Cumann Lúthchleas Gael Coiste Chontae na Gaillimhe) or Galway GAA is one of the 32 county boards of the GAA in Ireland, and is responsible for Gaelic Games in County Galway.
		Jimmy Duggan was on Galway football teams that lost three-in-a-row in the 1940s, his son Jimmy was on teams that lost three finals in four years between 1971 and 1974.
		Galway were narrowly beaten by Tipperary in a controversial 1989 semi-final and Cork in the final of 1990, while the brilliance of the 1993 final defeat by Kilkenny is sometimes forgotten because of the drama that ensued in the following years.

		THE GALWAY City Council is sceptical about funding the Pearse Stadium re-development project to the tune of £300,000 because of the history of the GAA closing its stadia off to other sports.
		A two man deputation from the GAA spoke at Monday night's meeting of the city council, and in their presentation asked if the council would provide £100,000 a year for three years towards the £2.5 million project.
		GAA president Joe McDonagh, and secretary of the county board Frank Burke presented the plans for the project to the city council, while chairperson of the Pearse Stadium Development Committee Tom Leonard looked on.

	RTÉ.ie Sport - GAA: Galway stroll to easy title victory
		Galway clinched the Connacht title in Roscommon this afternoon, but their lack-lustre performance against a poor Leitrim side suggests that All Ireland glory may be beyond them this year.
		Galway got off to a dream start when they were awarded a penalty in controversial circumstances after 13 minutes and Derek Savage calmly tucked the kick away to put them firmly in the driving seat.
		Galway continued to punish Leitrim in the second half, notching scores with ease and eventually ran out emphatic victors, the 1-13 to 0-8 score flattering Leitrim.

	Gaelic Athletic Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The GAA is sometimes accused of being a sectarian organisation, almost always by unionist politicians in Northern Ireland.
		The nationalism of the GAA made its members and clubhouses particular targets for loyalist terrorists during the Troubles and up to the present-day.
		On 16 April 2005 the GAA's congress voted to suspend its Rule 42 ban on "foreign games" to enable the Football Association of Ireland and the Irish Rugby Football Union to play their international fixures at Croke Park while the Lansdowne Roadstadium is being rebuilt.

	GAA from Mayo - 22 July '98
		On Sunday's evidence, Galway appear not to be quite the finished article we thought they were and the weekend's entertaining Connaught Final has raised certain doubts about the Tribesmen.
		EXHIBIT C: On the subject of Galway's defence, at vital stages of the second half, they stood off and let the Roscommon forwards ply their trade with some success.
		Galway seemed to have no natural leaders on Sunday, in direct contrast to Roscommon for whom heroes grew out of sweat and blood.

	Western People: GAA: Champions Galway hand out clear message to all
		Galway lined out with fourteen of the side who started against Meath in the All-Ireland final last September and during the second 35 minutes the All-Ireland 15th player - Tommy Joyce - made his appearance.
		The much-feared Galway attack had to rely on frees by Padraic Joyce to keep them in touch with the Connacht champions, while at the other end the Roscommon scoring department, particularly Nigel Dineen, Gerry Lohan, Stephen Lohan and attacking-defender Paul Noone had the Galway defence strugging for survival.
		By then Alan Kerins had been introduced to the Galway attack and he was only on the field a few minutes when he was judged to have scored a goal when Roscommon goalkeeper Derek Thompson was, according to the umpires, alleged to have allowed the ball cross the goal line.

		The Galway football team of 1998 seemed to spring out of nowhere, having lived in the shadow of Mayo's nearly men for the previous few years.
		On the hurling front, Galway again has a proud tradition, although they've had more success at under age than senior level; they haven't won the All-Ireland Hurling Final since 1988, their second success in a row having finally beaten their nemesis Kilkenny the previous year.
		The current Galway football manager, John O'Mahony, is from Mayo and actually managed the Mayo team which lost the 1989 All-Ireland Final to Cork.

		Galway's senior hurlers could yet find themselves playing in next summer's Munster Championship, despite refusing invitations from both the Munster and Leinster boards at last week's meeting of the Hurling Development Committee (HDC).
		Other options to be discussed tonight include Galway playing their opening fixture on a home-and-away basis, with the winner to be decided by the aggregate score over the two legs.
		While this solution would be unprecedented in GAA circles, it is one that may satisfy the stubborn Galway board, who as yet, have failed to embrace any of the HDC's proposals with open arms.

		This photographic history of the GAA in Co.Galway covers one of the first counties where the Association was firmly established.
		Galway is almost unique in the GAA, in that it's one of only three counties which realistically has a chance of doing the double in the football and hurling championships – the others being Cork and Offaly.
		It was one of the first counties where the GAA really flourished– its oldest clubs are as old as any in the country – and it continues to be one of the largest counties in the association with 81 affiliated clubs.

		Fox was small (5 foot 8) and was suited to the corner where his deceptively lightening speed (despite that big blue bandage on his left knee) allied to being a lethal striker of the ball made him ideal for the position.

		Galway hurling board secretary John Fahey has questioned the continued participation of teams from weaker hurling counties in Connacht in the provincial championship.
		Fahey said that they are gaining nothing from suffering hammerings each year at the hands of the Galway county champions, and suggested that they would benefit more from concentrating on the intermediate and junior provincial championships.
		I feel it is something that needs to be looked at, as it does little to promote hurling in the other counties,” he said.

	Mayo and Galway draw in league match
		As I saw it this was a point lost rather than a point won, and Galway, under the new management of John O'Mahony couldn't have hoped for a better result under the circumstances.
		It was an indication too of the level of expectation in Galway that they travelled in numbers to McHale Park for this second round clash in Section A and were very well represented in a crowd of around 8,000 in near perfect conditions on an excellent surface.
		Galway had settled in much earlier and had four points clocked up from Paul Clancy, one of their most impressive forwards, Padraic Joyce (free), Sean O'Domhnbail and Derek Savage after 10 minutes with Mayo's only score in that period coming from Ronan Golding, who was shaping up well before his injury.

	Irish Post: GAA: Galway's five to watch
		One of the more experienced members of the Galway forward line, Forde’s last two performances for the county have been instrumental in Galway’s road to this year’s All-Ireland final.
		Galway are therefore more likely to deploy the low ball tactic into the fringe of the square rather than adopt an aerial assault but early success for Healy could well spell danger for Cork.
		In the absence of Athenry’s Eugene Cloonan, the Galway corner-forward is now the team’s key scorer from play and placed balls and scored 2-9 against Kilkenny (2-1 from play).
