Galway United return to action this Friday night, when they face Bohemian FC at Eamonn Deacy Park, in the SSE Airtricity Men's Premier Division.

Bohemian FC

Bohs come into this game following a dramatic Men's FAI Cup quarterfinal victory over St. Patrick's Athletic on penalties.

The north Dublin side are managed by Alan Reynolds and his assistant manager is former Galway United player and Renmore native, Stephen O'Donnell.

Bohs made a number of new signings ahead of the 2026 season, including former United player, Patrick Hickey.

Hickey has impressed for the Dubliners so far, in a central defender role. The 2009 Premier Division champions look far more solid defensively this season, compared to the last few seasons.

They have a lot of threats in attack with Connor Parsons, Colm Whelan and Dawson Devoy looking impressive so far in 2026. Earlier this year, Devoy was named as part of the Republic of Ireland provisional squad for their UEFA European Championships play-off semi-final against Czechia.

Reynold's charges defeated Galway 4-2, in their last game in Terryland in May.

‍‍Galway United

United come into this game following a narrow last eight cup victory over Drogheda.

Lee Devitt grabbed the winning goal for Galway late in the contest, in Louth.

United have had a solid season so far, where they have performed very well in the majority of their fixtures to date.

A win for Galway on Friday would ease relegation worries and put them in the European race.

‍Galway United squad: Killian Brouder, Junior Thiam, Axel Pieshold, David Hurley, Aaron Bolger, Jimmy Keohane, Ed McCarthy, Dara McGuinness, Stephen Walsh, James Morahan, Wasiri Williams, Kris Twardek, Lee Devitt, Matty Wolfe, Gianfranco Facchineri, Al-Amin Kazeem, Francely Lomboto, Hugo Pires Da Cunha, Anthony O'Connor, Frantz Pierrot.

Manager's thoughts

Speaking ahead of Friday's game, Galway United manager, Caulfield admitted that this Friday's game will be a tough challenge for his side.

"We're looking forward to the game. Bohs are flying. Their form so far has been so impressive, they're scoring goals and keeping clean sheets. They are in the cup semi-final and are challenging for the league."

Despite Bohs' impressive recent form, Caulfield believes his side can get a positive result.

"We're down some bodies, but hopefully the crowd can really get behind us. We believe we can get a positive result."
