Galway United 2
Bohemians 0
ARMIN AGANOVIC SCORED his first goal for Galway United as they grabbed an important win at home to Bohemians in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division.
The 22-year-old Swedish defender of Bosnian heritage scored just after the hour mark after the sides were tied 0-0 at half-time and Kevin Devaney scored the second late on.
Bohemians goalkeeper Shane Supple was the star performer prior to that, and the former Ipswich Town goalkeeper had kept his side in it before the goals flew in.
Galway had lost four of their last five league outings, but they already matched last season’s points total despite their poor run of form.
Jose Garcia was the only player unavailable through injury and with Ismahil Akinade still out, Galway had a great chance to make an impression.
Captain Derek Pender did make his return, however, it was Galway who dominated the opening half and Bohemians goalkeeper Supple kept them in the game.
He made three one-on-one saves to deny Enda Curran twice, and Ryan Connolly as he kept his clean-sheet in the first-half. Bohemians only had one opportunity from Kurtis Byrne, but Galway goalkeeper Sam Ramsbottom saved well.
Bohemians had won three of their last five games in the league and they looked dangerous going forward. But they could not control the ball in midfield and their defence looked shaky, and after the game opened up following Aganovic’s 66th-minute opener, Devaney sealed the win in the 82nd minute.
GALWAY UNITED: Sam Ramsbottom; Colm Horgan, Armin Aganovic, Stephen Folan, Marc Ludden; Gary Shanahan, Alex Byrne, Paul Sinnott, Kevin Devaney (Conor Melody, 94); Ryan Connolly; Enda Curran (Vinny Faherty, 80).

Longfords to lose without a doubt
I was wondering why they weren’t on the list…..
In all fairness are you that stuck for articles that you’ve to put up this poll.
Maybe if Australia and Azerbaijan could enter the dubs might be challenged.
The only things less anticipated are the Ulster and Connacht Hurling Chanpionships
Is this a joke
Yes, enjoy it.
This must be the most ridiculous poll ever! Why not set one up for the colour of the sky!
The colour comes from sunlight that has been scattered by the air. There’s also red sunlight but not in a high enough concentration to do anything to effect the colour.
I thought it was to do with light passing through nitrogen.
cant wait for RTE’s live coverage of Dublins Leinster Quarter Final, should be worth the license fee.
MON LOUTH!!
Silly poll
Everyone knows the DUBS are the masters
~32% of the country are delusional, and I’m a non-Dublin Leinster man.
I wouldn’t say delusional , I clicked on laois for the craic !
Slow news day, lads??
The fact that bookmakers are only taking bets for ‘Leinster without Dublin’ says it all.
Highly Anticipated my arse .
I am surprised it is only 69%
You can treat 30% as ‘spoiled votes’ made up Dubs voting for other counties for a laugh and a hardcore who will only vote for their county.
That would leave about 1% who actually believe another county will win so the poll should be showing about 99% for Dublin
Meath for Leinster, Meath for Sam. Hon d’Kaypak.
You must be bloody joking Stephen, Lord lamb a jaysus this is a crazy statement to make?? Hoh? Are ya mad??
Sure jaysus Meath are diobolical at the minute, hoh? Ya feckin lug ya
Pointless pole.
Dublin is 68% it shows people just vote for their counties
Stupid question
