Galway Bay fm newsroom – Around 110 thousand voters from across Galway are expected to take to the polls tomorrow for local and European elections.
There are 39 seats up for grabs in the county; a further 18 in the city; while 4 seats are up for grabs in the Midlands/North-West constituency for the EU parliament.
Voters will also be asked to have their say on proposals to change the legislation currently regulating divorce law in Ireland.
The total electorate for Galway is just shy of 190 thousand; 141 thousand of those are registered in the county, while another 49 thousand make up the city register.
With a predicted turnout of somewhere close to 60 percent, it’s expected around 110 thousand people will have their say in tomorrow’s elections.
However, as per tradition, Galway’s islanders have been casting their votes one day early, since this morning – perhaps for the last time, as a bill has been passed to allow them to go to the polls at the same time as everyone else.
Voting has been broadly described as sluggish on the Aran Islands – particularly on Inis Meain, as many residents were in the city today to attend the funeral of an island native. It’s reported to be a little brisker on Inishbofin.
So, when you go to vote tomorrow you will be handed a white paper for the European referendum, a green paper for the divorce amendments referendum and the colour of your third paper will depend on which local electoral area you are in.
Therefore, in the county there are 7 different coloured papers, one for each electoral area while in the city, where there are three areas there are 3 different coloured papers.
Now, looking at the overall picture, there are no radical shake-ups expected in the city local authority this weekend, but there is far more scope for fresh blood in the next traunche of County Councillors.
There are 7 seats in the Athenry/Oranmore district, which will be contested by 14 candidates, 3 of which are sitting councillors.
In Ballinasloe, 12 candidates – 5 of them sitting councillors – will be fighting to claim one of 6 seats.
There are 5 seats on offer in Gort/Kinvara, which will be contested by 11 candidates, 3 of which are incumbents.
In Loughrea, 9 candidates will be hoping to take one of 5 seats – including 4 sitting councillors.
Moving north, and 14 candidates will contest 7 seats in Tuam – including six incumbent councillors.
Further west, where the new electoral constituency of Connemara North has just 4 seats on offer, to be contested by 7 candidates, 4 of whom currently hold office.
While Connemara South will see 11 candidates clash over 5 seats, with just 2 incumbent councillors.
In the city, 16 candidates will be competing for 6 seats in the Central Ward; among them are 5 sitting councillors.
In the City East Ward, fierce competition is expected with 6 seats, 6 sitting councillors, and 16 candidates.
While in the City West Ward, there are 6 seats to be won by 15 candidates, including 5 imcumbents.
Voters will also be taking to the polls tomorrow to elect MEP’s for this region; the Midlands/North-West.
There are 4 seats on offer at the European Parliament to be divided among 17 candidates – including 3 sitting MEPs.
Meanwhile, voters will also have their say tomorrow in the divorce referendum, which is about proposed changes to current legislation.
It addresses two issues – how long people must be living apart before applying for a divorce, and recognition of foreign divorces.
First official results from the city council count in Westside and the county council count in the Lawn Tennis Club are expected to arrive late on Saturday and into Sunday; while the first results of the EU elections from the count centre in Castlebar are expected late on Sunday.
However, as always, the unofficial tallies will draw a picture from as soon as the ballot papers are being sorted on Saturday morning in Leisureland.
Galway Bay fm news will bring you live and comprehensive coverage of the election results from 10 on Saturday morning, right until the very last seat is filled, day or night.

The 2019 Galway Senior Football Championship kicks-off this weekend with all 18 clubs in action across five different venues. This year sees a new format: three groups of six teams with the top two teams in each group qualifying for the knockout stage. The third-placed team in each group retains Senior Status for 2019. The bottom two teams in the group enter the Relegation Playoff.
Group 1- Salthill-Knocknacarra v Barna on Saturday in Moycullen at 2:30pm
This local derby could be tighter than last year’s affair when Salthill-Knocknacarra won by 2-13 to 0-8. Salthill-Knocknacarra
Salthill-Knocknacarra will be without stalwarts Finian Hanley (knee-injury) and Seán Armstrong who is taking a break away from the game. Evan Murphy is also out (cruciate).
For Barna, Tom Curran will captain the side for centre-forward, while Ryan Folan, Ray Conneely, goalie James Keane and Declan Walsh are key players.
Managers: Anthony Finnerty (Salthill-Knocknacarra) & Cossie Gilmore (Bearna)
Captains: Evan Wynne (Salthill-Knocknacarra) & Tom Curran (Barna)
Odds: Salthill/Knocknacarra win – 1/4, Draw – 9/1, Barna win – 10/3
St. Michael’s v An Spidéal in Moycullen on Saturday at
2015 runners-up St. Michael’s are mid-table in Division 1, as they take on newcomers An Spidéal, who won the Intermediate Championship last year. It’s their first meeting at senior level and St. Michael’s will be relying on their county star Eamonn Brannigan, and experienced men like Eddie Hoare, who is also running for election to Galway City Council at the weekend.
An Spidéal will have Manus Breathnach, and the Ó Laoi brothers – Ciáran (captain), Antaine and Finian. Antaine has started in Galway’s two victories in the Connacht Championship against London and Sligo while Finian came on as a late sub in Ruislip.
Managers: Alan Glynn (St. Michael’s) & Donal Ó Fatharta (An Spidéal)
Odds: St. Michael’s win – Evens, Draw – 13/2, An Spidéal win – Evens
Milltown v Killererin in Tuam Stadium on Saturday at
Milltown
Newly-appointed Milltown manager Diarmuid Blake will be looking to get their SFC campaign off to a good start. Milltown
Killererin’s manager Jimmy Murphy returns with a new management team with plenty of experience, particularly with club legend Tommie Joyce, who trains the team. Joyce was a player-manager in Killererin’s 2010 county final win over Corofin. Killererin have lost four of their five games in Division 3 and drew the other. They will be looking to county senior panelist Mikey Boyle to try and cause an upset.
Managers: Diarmuid Blake (Milltown) & Jimmy Murphy (Killererin)
Odds: Milltown win – 1/5, Draw 11/1, Killererin win – 7/2
Group 2 – Annaghdown v Claregalway in Kenny Park on Saturday at
Another local derby, Annaghdown and Claregalway is part of a double-header with Tuam Stars and Corofin in Athenry on Saturday evening. Annaghdown
Annaghdown will be missing Galway captain Damien Comer and Galway midfielder Ciaran Duggan, but they still have some big game players in Niall Coleman, Eoghan Kerin and Frankie Burke.
Claregalway
Managers: Michael Geoghegan (Annaghdown) & Alan Moran (Claregalway)
Odds: Annaghdown win 1/2, Draw 7/1, Claregalway win 15/8
Naomh Anna, Leitir Móir v St. James’ in Clonbur on Saturday at 5:45pm
A replay of the 2009 Intermediate County Final, which Leitir Móir won, this is their first ever Senior Championship meeting. Leitir Móir are third from bottom in Division 3 while St. James are bottom of the table in Division 2, losing all six matches that they have played.
The Jimmies finished second in a group with Corofin last year but were defeated by Annaghdown in the Quarter-Final.
Leitir Móir went into the Relegation Play-off but stayed up after drawing with Cortoon Shamrocks and defeating Kilconly. Leitir Móir’s star player is Galway full-back Seán Andy Ó Ceallaigh, while captain Mark Ó Fatharta and Ferdia Breathnach are key players.
St. James’ will be delighted to welcome back Paul Conroy, who suffered a double-broken leg last year playing for Galway against Kerry at the Super 8s. TG4 Underdog’s star Fintan Cooney, who played for Galway in the FBD League is unavailable as he is travelling but the experienced Johnny Duane and Eoin Concannon will make the city side favourites.
Managers: Maitias Barrett (Naomh Anna, Leitir Móir) & Pat Fallon (St. James’)
Odds: St. James’ win 3/10, Draw 8/1, Naomh Anna, Leitir Móir win 3/1
Corofin v Tuam Stars in Kenny Park on Saturday at 7pm
This is perhaps the tie of the weekend. The two clubs are fierce rivals with All-Ireland champions Corofin, 36 games undefeated in Galway since 2013. Tuam are undefeated in Division 1 having won four games out of four under new manager Tommy Carton and are the last club to beat Corofin in the 2012 Semi-Final.
Corofin will be looking to pick up where they left off, two months ago after defeating Dr Crokes handily in the All-Ireland club final. But they may be missing star Kieran Molloy after he suffered a dislocated shoulder in the Galway’s win over Sligo last weekend in the Connacht Championship.
Tuam Stars had a poor season last season, as they defeated Barna in a relegation play-off to stay up at senior level. County star Gary O’Donnell, Galway Junior full-back Dara Ó Ruairc and inspirational forward Jamie Murphy will be the main players for the Stars.
Managers: Kevin O’Brien (Corofin) & Tommy Carton (Tuam Stars)
Odds: Corofin win 1/10, Draw 14/1, Tuam Stars win 11/2
Group 3 – An Cheathrú Rua v Caherlistrane in Clonbur on Saturday at 4pm
It’s their first SFC meeting since 2010, when Caherlistrane won 0-13 to 1-7. An Cheathrú Rua are second in Division 2, with four wins out of six. Last year, they stayed up in senior thanks to a win over Tuam Stars after extra-time.
Caherlistrane
1996 County Champions, An Cheathrú Rua will be looking to have a better campaign this year than previous. Keith Ó Gairbhin has taken the reins this season.
Newly-appointed Caherlistrane manager Enda Cregg will be looking to players
Managers: Keith Ó Gairbhin (An Cheathrú Rua) & Enda Cregg (Caherlistrane)
Odds: Caherlistrane 4/9, Draw 15/2, An Cheathrú Rua 21/10
Mountbellew-Moylough v Monivea-Abbey in Duggan Park, Ballinasloe on Saturday at
In last year’s County Final, Mountbellew-Moylough came within seconds of dethroning Corofin, but Mícheál Lundy kicked an equaliser, and Corofin subsequently won the replay. They are top of the table in Division 1, level on points with Corofin and Tuam Stars but they have a better score difference. Monivea-Abbey are on form this year, they top Division 3 having won five out of six games. It is the first time the two sides have met in the Championship since the 2016 county semi-final, which Mountbellew-Moylough won 3-15 to 1-4.
Mountbellew-Moylough
2016 Intermediate Champions, Monivea-Abbey will get a massive boost from Galway footballer Cillian McDaid returning from his stint in the AFL. It is 50/50 on whether dual-player Caoilim Mulry will be fully fit for the match. However with their opponents injuries, it will give Monivea-Abbey a puncher’s chance.
Managers: Michael Donnellan (Mountbellew-Moylough) & Brian Mulry (Monivea-Abbey)
Odds: Mountbellew-Moylough win 1/4, Draw 9/1, Monivea-Abbey win 10/3
Maigh Cuilinn v Killannin in Oughterard on Sunday at
This is the only SFC game taking place on Sunday, and it is another local derby that promises to be a humdinger. Killannin
It is a repeat of the 2014 Intermediate County Final, which Killannin won 0-13 0-10, this was the game when Galway manager Kevin Walsh famously came on for Killannin at the age of 45.
Maigh Cuilinn will have plenty of experience to call upon. Four of their players are currently on the county panel, Gareth Bradshaw, Peter Cooke, David Wynne and Sean Kelly. But it is not known if Kelly or Cooke will be fit for this encounter.
Killannin also have some influential players, Galway star Johnny Heaney and the Sweeney twins – Paddy and Cathal bring plenty of know-how in a big club game.
The last time the two sides met was in 2017 SFC and Maigh Cuilinn were victorious, 1-11 to 0-13.
It promises to be exciting and dramatic weekend. Coverage of all games will be on Galway Bay FM.
