SOCCER: 1991 FAI Cup Final Remembered on ‘Over The Line’

On 12^th May 1991, Galway United created history when they beat Shamrock Rovers 1-0 in the FAI Cup Final – their first and only title success so far.

Johnny Glynn, the team’s captain, struck the winner four minutes from time for the greatest day ever for the Tribesmen, beating the Dublin outfit that were considered the undisputed top club in the country by some distance.

To celebrate the 20^th anniversary of that stunning triumph, Galway Bay FM’s Mike Rafferty headed to Eamonn Deacy Park on this week’s ‘Over The Line’ (17^th May) to chat to four of that successful side – Kevin Cassidy, Stephen Lally, Noel Mernagh and Peter Carpenter.
