Connacht’s only American Football team, the Galway Warriors, kick off the new season on May 1 with a home fixture.
The Warriors, who were runners-up last season, are looking to go one better this year with help from the growing home support.
Captain Darragh O’Farrell says the support of the people of Galway is "priceless" to the Warriors.
