Following back-to-back promotions, Craughwell United, formed in 1991, are in the top flight of Galway men's soccer for the first time as they'll compete in this season's Western Hygiene Supplies Brod Trill Premier League.
They've already received a tough introduction to top-flight football, but will be back in action this Sunday (7th September) away to Corrib Celtic at 11.30am. The big game and occasion, they are looking forward to is their first home game against Mervue United the following Saturday (13th September) at 2pm in Coleman Park.
All this comes after they formed a senior women's team for the first time last season. And they were rewarded with Champions Cup success last spring. And with multiple pitches and plent of training facilities, the club is continuing to grow with an astro surface and car park being planned for their grounds in Ballynagran (H91 EKD3).
Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly headed out this week to see the club and chat to chairperson Alan Tormey and facilities officer Tom Cunningham about developments both on and off the field.
