Galway United picked up their first point of the 2026 SSE Airtricity League Men's Premier Division on Friday (20th February 2026) following a draw with Shelbourne in Tolka Park.
Substitute Kristopher Twardek put the Tribesmen ahead on 62 minutes, but a first league win away to the Reds in 10 years was thwarted by the concession of a penalty immediately afterwards, which Harry Wood converted.
United move up to eighth place on one point, ahead of St. Patrick's Athletic and Sligo Rovers on scoring difference.
Afterwards, Galway Bay FM's Jonathan Higgins caught up with Galway United vice-captain David Hurley but first he spoke to the goalscorer Kristopher Twardek.
