As the build up continues to the AIB All-Ireland Senior Hurling Final between Loughrea and Waterford's Ballygunner on Sunday (18th January 2026), Galway Bay FM were LIVE in the Auld Triangle to sense the atmosphere ahead of Loughrea's biggest game in 19 years.
During the first hour in studio, Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly checked in on both camps and heard from Loughrea captain Ian Hanrahan, Shane O'Brien, manager Tommy Kelly and chairperson Lillian Stanley. We also got the thoughts of Ballygunner's Pauric Mahony and manager Jason Ryan.
