Still missing some of their more senior players, Galway head to London for this season's championship opener in Ruislip on Sunday (3pm).

Sunday was a disappointing end to an otherwise positive league campaign for Galway, losing to Tyrone 0-13 to 2-17 at Healy Park, Omagh.

Since 2016 Galway have played Mayo on seven occasions, winning all seven - three in the championship, two in the national league, and two in the FBD league. And on Saturday evening, Galway continued the recent domination of their old rivals with a 1-11 to 0-12 win in McHale Park to make it their sixth in a row.

Galway will want to continue their recent form over Mayo on Saturday evening, having not lost to their old rivals in the last six matches.

After an important win over Cavan in their league opener, next up for Galway is a repeat of last year’s All Ireland semi-final and league final against the All-Ireland champions Dublin in Croke Park on Saturday under lights (7pm).

Maigh Cuilinn needed a dominant display from young county star Seán Kelly to earn a draw (0-8 to 0-8) with Brian Mulry’s Monivea Abbey in Pearse Stadium on Sunday.

With three rounds of the newly-formed group stages of the Galway Senior Football Championship completed, there is still much to play for.

Travelling up the motorway on Saturday afternoon to Croke Park for the All-Ireland semi-final, we listened to Padraic Joyce (Galway), Dick Clerkin (Monaghan) and Liam Kearns (Tipperary manager) on Off the Ball on Newstalk to pass an hour of the journey, and all three pointed out that Galway would have to produce an exceptional performance to keep the Dubs at bay.

The Galway senior footballers under Kevin Walsh have thus far enjoyed a productive season.
