GALWAY UNITED HAVE announced that they will enter a team into the SSE Airtricty Women’s National League in 2023.
The news comes after Galway Women’s Football Club [Galway WFC] last month “reluctantly decided” not to apply for inclusion in next season’s league.
At the time, it was widely believed that the decision was unlikely to mark the end of elite women’s football in the county.
The42 reported that discussions were ongoing between Galway United and the FAI about the prospect of forming a new women’s team ahead of next season.
Now, Galway United will join Athlone Town, Bohemians, Cork City, Shelbourne, Sligo Rovers and Treaty United in having both men’s and women’s teams run by one club.

A club statement reads: “Galway United are delighted to confirm that they will be entering a senior women’s, under-17 and under-19 girls teams in 2023, ensuring the survival and the continued growth & development of women’s elite football in Galway and the West.
“We thank all involved in Galway WFC for the significant contribution they have made over the years.
“Galway United will continue to be an all-inclusive football club, a club for all of us, and we look forward to a new chapter of men’s and women’s football in Galway.”
699 in total I believe. INCREDIBLE. No.1 in the World now. Messi slippn back in his 30s.
@McSalmon: Messi is 32 this season, he already has 5 goals is 8 games. Last season he scored 51 goals in 49 matches and had 19 assists. Stop talking nonsense, you are embarrassing yourself…..
@Devilsavocado: you’re missing my point AGAIN!
@Devilsavocado: btw his stats are in decline and CR7 had bagged 3CLs 1 Euro and 1 Nations League and 2 League titles since Messi last won a CL and without Xavi and Iniesta ain’t looking so good. Maradona always better in his prime too. CR7 GOAT.
@McSalmon: no Iniesta or Xavi last season and still won the ballon dor. Over 50 goals scored. Explain that Ronaldo is top class but sorry Messi is “different” class. Suck it up
@Ado Smith: Modric won that
@Ado Smith: He didn’t win the Balon D’Or last year. And hasn’t for 5 years.
As the great Eammon Dunphy once said, ‘that lad Ronaldo is only a cod, a spoofer!’
@Hidden Connemara: dunphy is the ultimate spoofer. He was spouting that when R7 was banging in 42 goals a season for ManU from the wing.
@Hidden Connemara: that quote is emblazoned on the side of a pub in Dublin so it will never be forgotten
@Dominic Gallagher: which one…been across the pond a few years.
GOAT !!!!
Ronaldo is without doubt the greatest goal scorer we have ever seen! His stats will tell us that.
It can be said about all truly great players (Pele, Maradonna, Cryuff, Beckenbauer, Best, Maldini, the other Ronaldo etc etc) that they are all different in their own way. I suppose that’s part of what makes them truly great!
But imo if there were two games on side by side with both Ronaldo & Messi playing in their prime and I was given the choice to pick one to sit and watch I would choose to watch Messi every time.
The thing I love most about these arguments is that there actually is an argument to have. So I will continue to bask in the wonder of both of these amazing truly great players
You don’t necessarily need to be flashy to be great
@Eoin Murphy: one can do both btw. e.g: Usain Bolt, Ayrton Senna, Micheal Jordan.
CR7 will go down as the GOAT. His stats are not human.
@Stanley Baggins: agreed his stats are inhumane
