Walsh Shines as Galway Claim Historic Win

Galway United stunned Derry City with a gritty 2-1 win at historic Pearse Stadium, marking their first-ever match there while renovations hit their usual ground. Stephen Walsh was the hero, scoring both goals — a header off Ed McCarthy’s cross in the 24th minute and a second-half strike assisted by David Hurley. Derry pulled one back late via a penalty from Michael Duffy, but Galway held firm. The victory boosts Galway’s league position and sets up a crucial clash with Shamrock Rovers next — Derry away on Monday, Galway following Friday. It was a physical, tense night, but the home side delivered when it mattered most. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
