Galway United FC 'United' / Maroon View Issue 19: Galway United v Dundalk, 27 October 2017 matchday programme — SSE Airtricity League Premier Division at Eamonn Deacy Park

Official Galway United matchday programme, 'UNITED' / Maroon View, Issue 19, €4.00. Galway United v Dundalk, SSE Airtricity League Premier Division, Eamonn Deacy Park, Friday 27 October 2017, kick-off 7.45pm. Sponsors Comer Group Ireland and uhlsport, with the Gaillimh 2020 mark; a striking illustrated comic-style cover.

The last game of the season, and the night Galway United went down. Editor JOHNNY WARD writes a clear-eyed piece on a 'pretty manic Premier Division campaign': the talk of moving to a ten-team league, the costly opening defeat to Drogheda in March, a defence of Shane Keegan's signings, and a reminder that United had beaten Dundalk the previous season just after the Lilywhites had hammered BATE Borisov.

He also records that STEPHEN KENNY had been the special guest on the 'LOI Weekly' podcast that week, and that 'people forget that his career was going nowhere when Dundalk came to his door' — three years before Kenny took the Republic of Ireland job. And he laments that Stephen O'Donnell, Daryl Horgan and David Forde never made the same impact at Galway as they did at Dundalk.

The programme team is named — designed by Morgan O'Brien, edited by Ward, with Paraic Collins as deputy and Sean Ryan as club photographer — and Ward notes, with some feeling, that Maroon View lost programme of the year to Dundalk.
