Gavan will be welcomed back to Galway in Salthill Hotel from 12 noon until 4pm. The hero's welcome will see Gavan back on home turf and he will be giving a talk on how he managed to break a world record. Galway’s Gavan Hennigan has become the fastest Irishman to row across the Atlantic.

Connacht to slay dragons

Connacht take on Newport Gwent Dragons in the first home game of the year this Saturday. After a moral boosting trip to Wales last weekend the lads will be looking to build on the win over Cardiff. Dragons have not won away from home in the PRO12 since a visit to Treviso in March 2015. The only previous time Dragons have won in Galway was 2003/04.  Let’s hope that bad run continues for at least another season.
