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”.

Last Friday’s win over Cork City eased the pressure building around Galway United tremendously.
