Galway are out of the All-Ireland senior ladies football championship after a heartbreaking semi-final defeat to Dublin in Glenfisk O'Connor Park, Tullamore on Saturday night (19th July 2025).
In an enthralling encounter, a Hannah Tyrrell first-half penalty kept Dublin in the hunt, but Andrea Trill, with her first kick of the game, looked to have scored the match winner in normal time, only for Tyrrell to equalise at 0-13 to 1-10 and force extra-time.
The Leinster champions edged in front before two second-period goals from Carla Rowe and Kate Sullivan put nine points between them. However, Galway refused to concede as Trill and Olivia Divilly scored late Galway goals, but time eventually ran out.
Afterwards, Galway captain Kate Geraghty shared her thoughts with Galway Bay FM's Katelyn Hayes.
Katelyn also spoke to Galway manager Daniel Moynihan.
Galway Bay FM's match commentary team were Tommy Devane and Katelyn Hayes.
