The long wait is over as Galway United finally make their debut in Pearse Stadium this evening (Friday, 19th June 2026) when they host Derry City in the SSE Airtricity League Men's Premier Division.
John Caulfield's team have already taken four points off the Candystripes in two prevous outings this season, but still find themselves four points behind their opponents, even if United have two games in hand.
This fixture has always been an entertaining joust with the teams both scoring against each other in the last six fixtures.
They've also traded wins regularly with one occcasion being in Eamonn Deacy Park back in 2009 when Galway United won 3-1 thanks to goals from Cian McBrien, Aaron Greene and Jason Molloy.
Cian McBrien played for Galway United between 2007 and 2010 as well as representing his home club Salthill Devon, and Mervue United. He joined Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly to look back at his United career and look ahead to the game against Derry City.
Kick-off at Pearse Stadium is 7.45pm and we'll have LIVE coverage on 'Over The Line.'
