Paul Doherty is the current inter-county goalkeeper for Galway
Doherty made his Championship debut against Mayo in May 2007. He has stayed first choice for the county ever since in the Championship. In the 2007 Connacht SFC semi-final against Leitrim, then manager of Galway, Peter Forde heaped praise on Doherty after he left Leitrim fans reeling in the ’what might have been’ had Donal Brennan's shot inched past the outstretched hands of Doherty. Galway won the game by 0-17 to 1-10
"The opposition is always going to have chances during a 70 minute game. That is what we expect our goalkeeper to do, to pull off a great save like that when it is needed and thankfully he did that. It is important that when the opposition get in on goal that you have a goalie who can pull off a save like that and he proved that today" Forde said.
He has played in 2 Connacht finals, 2007, losing to Sligo and 2008, defeating Mayo.
Doherty plays his club football with the famous Tuam Stars. His brother, Conor was a member of Galways victorius All-Ireland Minor Championship team in 2007.
