What time, TV channel is Galway v Dublin on today in All-Ireland Championship?
Dublin need a response after below par showings against Meath, Wicklow and Tyrone.
Galway's range of long kickout targets - John Maher, Paul Conroy, Matthew Tierney and Cein Darcy - could cause Dublin issues. They're not huge in the middle eight, or brilliant fielders, bar Peadar O Cofaigh Byrne.
There will be a breeze. It's Salthill. Galway know it well and they're patient as well as having two point shooters galore, particularly with Shane Walsh selected in the side. He hasn't played since going off at half-time early on in the League against Dublin.
Liam Silke and Johnny McGrath will probably tag Paddy Small and Con O'Callaghan. Dublin still have serious physical power up front and a scoring threat. This is likely to go to the wire.

The game is being played at Pearse Stadium, Salthill.

Leinster SHC final: Unflappable Kilkenny can contain the Galway bounce-back
Leinster GAA SHC final Kilkenny v Galway, Croke Park, Sunday 4pm Are Galway becoming a bit like the three-card trick merchants? Every year is the one that's going to be different. Honest. It has been some resurrection for Micheál Donoghue's team to proceed from the vacuous display in Nowlan Park seven weeks ago to being quietly reinstated as contenders for this weekend. Kilkenny in Leinster finals have been a constant source of grief for the westerners since they moved into the province. One win in eight is the running total, allowing that in 2018 the first match was a draw and they eventually won after a replay. Nearly all of those were comprehensive defeats or spectacular self-infliction, like 2020 and 2023. There is, however, some logic to the Galway revisions. They caned a Dublin team that Kilkenny had laboured to put away and even if the Dubs were unfathomably poor two weeks ago, their opponents' vigilant pressing and tactical nous were influential in forcing that. READ MORE Goals are again an issue, in that of the six teams in the Leinster round robin, only Antrim managed fewer green flags than Galway but no side has hit more points. Of course, when Donoghue guided the county to the 2017 All-Ireland, they notably scored no goals in four of their five championship matches. This, predictably, isn't a concern for their opponents, who with 15 have top-scored in championship goals to date. The team hasn't been tweaked much, let alone overhauled, but Derek Lyng continues to get the most out of them. Injuries have stalked selections and Eoin Cody is missing again with hamstring trouble but TJ Reid perseveres and has bagged 4-22 in the last three matches, 3-2 from play. There was the now traditional reverse against Wexford on the last day but that was a dead rubber from Kilkenny's perspective. For that match, Lyng ran an experiment of Adrian Mullen at centre back. It may have been whimsy but presumably there was some level of curiosity as to how the unusual placing of an All Star front eight player would fare and how sustainable the attack might be in his absence. The challenge for Galway is how dependable their opponents are. Kilkenny are on a six-in-a-row in Leinster despite having hardly impacted on the All-Ireland championship during that time. They will turn up and play to a guaranteed level. [ Galway's Cathal Mannion only too aware of Kilkenny's extra-time threat Opens in new window ] They will be more attentive in marking Galway's players and not leaving the gaps that Dublin did nor yielding the same stream of turnovers. David Burke had an excellent match in Parnell Park and his distribution will be a key factor for them. Donoghue has a good record in Leinster finals, having won two titles in three years during his first tenure. They will press hard and in the repurposed Conor Whelan and the prolific Cathal Mannion they have All Star quality forwards in form. Kilkenny's consistency and application, however, look more persuasive. Verdict : Kilkenny Kilkenny : E. Murphy; M Butler, H Lawlor, T Walsh; M Carey, R Reid, P Deegan; C Kenny, J Molloy; J Donnelly, A Mullen, B Ryan; S Donnelly, TJ Reid, M Keoghan. Subs : A Tallis, P Moylan, D Blanchfield, S Murphy, K Doyle, Z Bay Hammond, F Mackessy, H Shine, L Hogan, L Connellan, M Murphy. Galway : E Murphy; P Mannion, Daithí Burke, F Burke; C Fahy, G Lee, TJ Brennan; S Linnane, David Burke; J Fleming, C Mannion, T Monaghan; C Whelan, B Concannon, K Cooney. Subs : D Walsh, D Morrissey, J Grealish, J Ryan, D Loftus, R Glennon, C Cooney, T Killeen, A Burns, C Molloy, J Flynn.

RADIO Score updates on RTÉ Radio 1's Saturday Sport. WEATHER Saturday: After a wet start to the day, cloud and rain will gradually clear eastwards leaving a mix of showers and sunny spells for Saturday. Highest temperatures of 12 to 15 degrees in moderate to fresh and occasionally strong northwest winds. for more go to Group 1 Clare v Limerick Billed in some quarters as a preliminary quarter-final, and while that may be a tad premature, with both teams having beaten Wexford, the winner of the Shannon derby will have a foot and a half in the knockout stages. Clare prevailed by nine points at this venue in the League and are coming into this off a bye after accounting for the Yellowbellies in their opener, while Limerick are playing their third game in a fortnight, having recovered from a 38-point loss to Cork by edging out the Model County. Wexford v Tipperary Tipperary need to get a win on the board after failing to land any sort of blow on Cork in their first game last weekend, having had a bye in the opening round. Wexford are 0 for 2 and given those games were against Clare and Limerick, the counties they would have been perceived to be rivalling for the third knockout berth from this group, they are up against it and must win this to have any chance of advancing. Defeat and they will almost certainly booked for a relegation play-off. Group 2 Dublin v Kilkenny This is a repeat of last year's All-Ireland quarter-final, in which Dublin surprised many by taking down Kilkenny. With the Stripeywomen losing to Waterford on home territory last week, they might be feeling a little bit vulnerable and Dublin will surely smell some blood in the water at Parnell Park. Tommy Shefflin and co will undoubtedly have learned a lot more from the reverse than the facile victory over Derry but with Dublin having had a week off after getting to within six points of Galway and with last year's Croke Park result in mind, this feels like it could go right to the wire. Waterford v Derry These two teams are enjoying very different fortunes at present, with Waterford impressive winners over Kilkenny at UPMC Nowlan Park on their belated competition start last Saturday and Derry, down two-thirds of the team that consolidated senior status last season, on a score difference of -58 points from two outings against Kilkenny and Galway.

Avoiding prelims has helped to put Armagh in an unbelievable position
On the way back up the road from Cavan , there was some chatter on the team bus about topping the group and what it all meant. We knew it had secured us a place in the All-Ireland quarter-finals and by extension we had avoided the preliminary quarter-finals. In terms of the round-robin, it was a case of job done. Mostly though, players were considering their own performances and what impact they had in the win over Sligo . Some were happy, others were not, the usual. It was June 2023, the first year of a new round-robin format in the All-Ireland series. The Sligo game at Breffni took place in the middle of June. Just six weeks later we got our hands on Sam Maguire again. READ MORE But on that same afternoon we beat Sligo, Mayo lost to Cork in their last group game at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick – a result that left them third in the table. Instead of having the benefit of two weeks to prepare for their next game, Mayo had to travel to Salthill the following Sunday to face Galway in a preliminary quarter-final. I can't be sure what we did as a group on the day Mayo beat Galway in Pearse Stadium, but it's fair to say we didn't expend as much mental or physical energy that afternoon as our old rivals. The following weekend Mayo arrived to Croke Park to play us in a quarter-final, Kevin McStay's side buoyed by the confidence of beating Galway. That momentum was evident early on and at half-time we led by only a single point. But after the break our freshness told and Mayo's three-week stint started to take its toll. At the final whistle we had won by 12. The benefit of avoiding a preliminary quarter-final played out for all to see at Croke Park in that game. In the two years of this format, the All-Ireland has been won by a team who topped their group and avoided the prelims – Dublin in 2023 and Armagh in 2024. In 2023, Monaghan were the only one of the four preliminary quarter-finalists to advance to the last eight. Last year, only Galway progressed beyond the quarter-finals. That's not to say there won't be a winner coming from the prelims this year but it's clear the challenge is significantly greater for those tasked with playing three knockout championship games in as many weeks. Because of that, Armagh look to be in an unbelievable position right now. They are the only one of the 16 teams to have guaranteed a table-topping finish before the last round of games. It means the reigning All-Ireland champions have the opportunity against Galway to give a lot of their squad players some championship minutes. It is a priceless luxury to have at this stage of the year. [ Football championship: GAA confirms fixture details for final round-robin games Opens in new window ] Armagh's responsibility next week is solely to themselves, it is not for them to worry about Galway or others; they should do what they consider is best for Armagh's chances of retaining the All-Ireland. And, should they run their squad against Galway and give game time to squad players, that does not necessarily represent an easier afternoon for Pádraic Joyce's men. On the contrary, it could actually make it an even trickier affair because those players who have been on the fringes of the Armagh starting team will view the Galway match as their big chance to make an impact. For players who feel they might not be getting the opportunities they deserve, this will be their moment to show management what they can do. For Kieran McGeeney, it couldn't really be set up any better. Armagh manager Kieran McGeeney with goalkeeper Ethan Rafferty last Sunday. Photograph: James Crombie/Inpho Because if those players perform then they're putting pressure on the guys who have been starting all summer. That in turn challenges everybody to be better and allows nobody to get complacent. I remember during the Super Eights era, there would have been times when we might have been through to the knockout stages with a game to spare, and so for the extended panel that last match would then become their biggest game of the season. It was a shop window for players to try to force their way into the team for the latter stages of the championship, or at the very least to be one of the first subs introduced. Those matches when managers get to give players a roll of the dice are huge to ramp up the internal competition for places within panels. I can't see Armagh going full hog with a stacked team against Galway next week because the risk-reward is not worth it; they've already built up a huge amount of momentum. They will surely view it instead as a perfect opportunity to use their squad. So, for a game that might have no great overarching importance in terms of Armagh's direct progression in the competition, McGeeney can put a huge amount of internal importance on it by handing starting jerseys to players who have spent much of the season on the periphery. Finishing top of the table is a prize we probably didn't fully appreciate in 2023. But after only two years of this format, it's clear there is a huge benefit to avoiding the preliminary quarter-finals. It's not that three games in three weeks is too much physically for players – intercounty players are in such good shape that they can manage that load. But if somebody gets a muscular injury in that time frame they're going to be ruled out for crucial matches – which is another reason for Armagh not to risk any of their key players. More than anything, it's the mental fatigue that becomes draining with such a demanding schedule. Getting up and going to work on the Monday and Tuesday while still having to look at the video analysis from the game you've just played. Then you are asked to look at video clips for the next game because you are immediately trying to analyse your upcoming opponents. Individually, you are at home looking at video in relation to your position and guys you might be coming up against, or going through some team homework clips that have been given by management on your next opponent. Then, pre- or post-training, you would be doing collective video work as well. That's a lot of information to take on board three weeks on the bounce. Truth be told, your job has to be put on the back burner. You are essentially a full-time intercounty footballer in terms of preparing for games, recovering from games, nutrition, analysis, training – you simply don't have the time and energy to give 100 per cent to your job. For teams playing next Saturday, they will probably have a group recovery session on the Sunday, gym on Monday, pitch session Tuesday, pitch session Thursday, then play again the following weekend. And you also have your video work on top of that. So, a gap week between games is large; it just gives you a vital bit of breathing space ahead of the most crucial part of the season. But while it might only be the third year of this format, it is also set to be the last as another new system will be in place next season. Three teams advancing from each group feels wrong. Still, I would have liked them to retain this current format but with only two sides progressing to the knockout stages. None of that matters right now, though. The big prize on offer next weekend is the carrot of a direct pass to the All-Ireland quarter-finals. For those teams who end up in the prelims, while they remain in the running for Sam Maguire they will be starting that particular race further back down the home straight than the four quarter-finalists.
