Galway United's Aoibhin Donnelly, who works as a teacher, has revealed how social media has completely changed the relationship between teachers and their students. As Galway United sits 7th in Premier Division with 30 points, Aoibhin's pupils often mention her team's performance.
What happened?
Aoibhin, who teaches French and PE, knows all about this, as from time to time her students will often mention a loss or win that her team has experienced.
Why it matters for Galway United
The average day for the midfielder can be hectic, with school, college work and then football training in the evening as well as preparing lesson plans for the following day. Football gave her somewhere to clear her head, with Aoibhin telling EVOKE: 'Going to training was a real place to switch off.'
What comes next?
Galway United is preparing for their next fixture against Shelbourne, who are currently 5th in the table, on 2026-08-28, after their recent 1-1 draw against Bray Wanderers on 2026-08-14, with the team unbeaten in their last 4 matches, and Aoibhin will be looking to make an impact on the pitch.
