Galway GAA is bracing itself for a major internal row as two city clubs have confirmed they will be counter Salthill-Knocknacarra's plans to develop new grounds in Rahoon.

With a membership of over 2,500 and overwhelming demands on their club grounds “The Prairie”, beside Pearse Stadium and other shared grounds, Salthill-Knocknacarra last week revealed details of plans for two full-size floodlit pitches, one grass and one astro, dressing rooms and a two-kilometre walkway among other facilities on land they purchased in 2016.
