It was nice to sit back and relax on Easter weekend to watch the league finals played out on Saturday and Sunday without having to deal with the pressures and roller coaster emotions of the previous week.

The Galway senior footballers may have been beaten by Dublin on Sunday by 0-18 to 0-14 in the division one league final, but it was a productive and instructive day for Kevin Walsh, his management team, and the squad.

The Galway footballers are in action against three-in-a-row All-Ireland champions Dublin this Sunday at Pearse Stadium (2pm).

Mayo find themselves second from bottom of Division One after suffering their third defeat on the spin.

There was four points in it at the end - but there could have been much more if Dublin hand’t eased off the gas in the final third of the game.

Sometimes it’s not about being the better team, it’s about finding ways to win games when you are probably second best on the day.
