Cora will in the under-15 squad with Olympic duo Edward C. Ward and John Paul Ward and their team is managed by Monivea's Gabe Connelly.  Dominik Barrett (Titans), Lacey Shaughnessy (Monivea) and Eddie Sweeney (Galway) are with the under-17 team that includes Monivea's Gus Farrell in their coaching set-up.

Cora is a three-time National Champion (beating Oakleaf's Katie McDonagh 5-0 in this year's final) before also taking down Lisburn's Texas Trinity Lovell in the box off to earn her place on the Irish team.

Cora Keane popped into Galway Bay FM to chat to Darren Kelly.

Dawson Devoy and Douglas James-Taylor gave the visitors a 2-0 interval lead before Ed McCarthy hit back with two second half Galway United goals.  Unfortunately each time, Bohemians found responses through Ross Tierney and Patrick Hickey to take the points, and leave Galway in seventh place, one point ahead of the relegation zone.

Galway United's next game is away to Shelbourne next Friday (29th May 2026).  Kick-off at Tolka Park is 7.45pm.

Two quickfire goals in the opening ten minutes saw the sides at a stalemate for the remainder of the game despite some good chances from both parties to take the win!  However, the versatility of both goalkeepers Sam Carmondy and Iarlaith Griffin, kept the contest alive.

It took extra time to decide the winner, and it was the Galway side that edged out with two goals in the opening period.
