Galway Rovers Rugby Football Club first played competitively in 1899. In 1907, they won the Connacht Junior Cup. They disbanded after that, probably due to World War I, but the club was revived in 1931 by a man named John L Sullivan. In the early days, they were given a clubhouse in the old Galway Steamship Company. Initially they wore green jerseys, but later they changed to colour to black and were often referred to as “The Blacks”. The first team to represent the club was made up entirely of men who worked on the docks, so inevitably, they became known as “The Dockers”.

In 1822, the harbour of Galway was very defective with only one small dock, now known as ‘the mud dock’, and two small jetties on the Claddagh shore. The outflow of the river was too great to allow sailing boats to enter safely at low tide. They had to wait outside on the roads for high tide, and even then, the entry could be tricky when the wind was strong. The merchants of Galway petitioned the Lord Lieutenant in 1820 to make improvements and he forwarded their request to Nimmo.
