LGFA: Galway senior manager Daniel Moynihan with Galway Bay FM’s Darren Kelly ahead of their Connacht Final against Mayo

Following two group victories, Galway prepare to defend their TG4 Connacht senior ladies football title on Sunday (25th May 2025) when they meet Mayo.

It's a repeat of last year's decider which saw Andrea Trill get a late winner for the Tribeswomen.  But Mayo were champions in 2023 when they ran out seven point winners.

The winners will seed an All-Ireland championship group containing Donegal and Tipperary, two sides Galway beat in the league.  The runners-up must negotiate Cork and the Munster champions (Kerry or Waterford) to try and reach the quarter-finals.

Leading up to the game, Galway manager Daniel Moynihan has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly.
