Early history

On 13 September 1932, a brief report in the pages of the Connacht Sentinel announced the formation of a new rugby club in Galway. Its membership was drawn largely from Galway's working-class inner city and was composed in the main of students and players of St Joseph's Patrician College (The Bish) and the Galway Grammar School. The following evening the club held its first meeting in the Mechanic's Institute in Middle Street at 8 pm and, from that meeting, its first Senior Committee was elected.[citation needed]
