Galway United head to the home of the league champions this Saturday (19th July 2025) when they go up against Athlone Town in the SSE Airtricity League Women's Premier Division.

The Tribeswomen have won four of their last five games, following a mid-season slump, and are currently third on 22 points, nine behind their opponents.

Athlone Town have only conceded two goals this season and were 3-0 victors when they visited Galway back in May.

At the end of the last season, Julie-Ann Russell was among the goal scorers in a 3-2 victory for Galway United, before announcing her retirement from club and international football. She caught up with Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly to tell us how things have been going since and to look ahead to the trip to Athlone.

Kick-off at Athlone Town Stadium on Saturday is 7.30pm.
