Padraic Joyce’s team have qualified for the Connacht Final on Sunday week by the skin of their teeth. A stern test from Sligo in Markievicz Park last Saturday saw Galway scrape by with a last gasp goal.

After a disappointing result against Roscommon in the FBD final Galway now face into a league opener against old rivals Mayo in Pearse stadium this coming Sunday at 1.45pm.

This weekend, the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Semi-Finals take centre stage, along with the Tailteann Cup final, and there is absolutely no doubt that there is a major anticlimax here without Mayo's involvement in those semi-finals.

GAA: All Ireland SFC Quarter Final

How were Mayo going to react after seeing a place in the last eight slip though their fingers in the final quarter against Cork a week earlier was the big question heading into Pearse Stadium last Sunday.

When it comes to GAA football matters, Mayo are the gift that just keep on giving. The Mayo for Sam band wagon rolls on again and the helter skelter roller coaster ride we find ourselves on is not ready to grind to a halt just yet after the green and red dug out an impressive one point victory against the old enemy Galway in Salthill last weekend.

The importance of defeating Cork on Sunday in round 3 of the All-Ireland group stages cannot be over-emphasised. If Mayo win, they top the group and go straight through to the All-Ireland quarter finals, ensuring they will avoid an extra game and a quarter final clash against another group winner, which will most likely be Dublin, Derry and Galway. Right now, that's the way it looks anyway.

After what feels like an eternity, Mayo are finally back in competitive fare as they take on Kerry in Killarney this Saturday in Group One, Round 1, of the All-Ireland series. As expected, Louth were confirmed as the remaining team making up Group One after they were mauled by Dublin in the Leinster final by 21 points.
