Legends like Sean Purcell, Frank Stockwell and more recently Ja Fallon are readily associated with the north Galway town. The fact the Sawdoctors have recorded a few songs which revere their legendary status has only added to the mix.

The club has a tremendous history of success in the Galway county championship and tomorrow it will be going for its 26th county final success.
