Galwegians sing the blues after return to top flight

Over and over again and again, Galwegians sang their club anthem ‘The Blues are we’ and danced and celebrated long into Saturday night in Galway after their nerve wracking Ulster Bank AIL victory over Garryowen at Crowley Park.

The 17-13 win over their most dangerous rivals in the Division 1B final means they are now heading to the topflight of the Ulster Bank All-Ireland League for the first time since 2009.

The home side’s ability to grab their scoring opportunities and to control the game at the most crucial moments made them worthy winners of a fiercely, honestly contested encounter.
