Good afternoon and welcome to our live blog for this All-Ireland Senior Football Championship clash between Mayo and Cavan.
This is a tough group with Tyrone and Donegal also in it and Mayo come into this game as the long odds-on favourites to win as they look to get a victory on board before Tyrone and Donegal play a game.
This could be a long afternoon for Cavan, but Mayo aren't renowned for their ruthlessness.
There could be a hangover from a Connacht Final that they should have won where they had miss after miss in the last 20 minutes.
The lack of two point shooters and a clinical edge up front in general are issues, but Cavan have had injury issues to contend with after their Ulster Championship defeat by Tyrone.
There's just over an hour to go until throw-in.

Anthony Daly: Cork top my ranking of eight remaining Liam MacCarthy contenders
NO 1. CORK. No matter what happened on Saturday evening, Cork were in the top two for me anyway, but they deserve to occupy top spot, albeit marginally, after the manner of Saturday's win. We all saw afterwards how much the hype train has been cranked into gear and, while Cork will be carried along in that fervour and passion of that hysteria over the next four weeks ahead of an All-Ireland semi-final, it will also be a challenge for Pat Ryan to make sure that the hype train doesn't derail them.

Shane Barrett: 'We came up here with one mission: to win. A brilliant day for Cork hurling'
TURNING Limerick over on their home patch 'is as sweet as it gets', Cork vice-captain Shane Barrett says. Kyle Hayes was man of the match when Limerick sent Cork back down the road tail between legs 20 days previous. Hayes sat on Saturday evening, Barrett marauded and blitzed. 1-3 from play chalked by the 32nd minute. Cerebral hurling, cerebral movement. 'I got it all in the first-half, I didn't do much for the other 50 or so minutes,' he quipped. 'Once we won, I couldn't care less [about my own individual contribution], and thankfully we did win.' Barrett clipped 1-2 from play when Cork turned Limerick over to keep their 2024 championship alive. Another 0-8 came off him that indelible night at Páirc Uí Chaoimh. In the five-in-a-row-ending All-Ireland semi-final win over the same green opposition two months later, he rose three white flags. Saturday gone, though, topped the lot. Seven-in-a-row stopped. Cork's first Munster success since 2018. His first Munster success full stop. 'You are coming up into an absolute cauldron. Limerick are going for seven-in-a-row Munster championships. They've made the Munster championship almost look easy the last few years. So this is probably as sweet as it gets, coming up here and turning them over. 'We have had great days over the past 12, 18 months. Hopefully we have a few more. But this is really special. We are really going to enjoy this for the next few days. 'Munster medals are very prestigious. Pat really spoke about the importance of it. People of Cork are reared on Munster championships. It has been seven years since we have been in a final. That is too long for a county like Cork. It is unbelievable for those of us winning our first. Hoggie, Sham, Lehane and Damo have three, and then the '97 crew and a few more have two. At least we can say we are joining that club now, so we are delighted.' Limerick rolled in an All-Star cast off the bench in an attempt to reach provincial immorality. Shane O'Brien nailed 1-2. Darragh O'Donovan put them in front approaching the end of regulation time. Peter Casey pointed too. Cathal O'Neill hurled an amount of ball in the middle third, albeit guilty of one incredibly poor extra-time wide. And yet it was the Cork bench that won this particular contest. Three points from Shane Kingston, two from Lehane. The latter nailed arguably the most crucial penalty of the nine struck after Cork found themselves two down early doors in the shootout. And this from a man making just his fourth appearance of 2025. Kingston was next in red to make the lonely walk and return a hero. Tommy O'Connell brought energy and a one-point contribution. Robbie O'Flynn, in extra-time, was fouled for a Darragh Fitzgibbon converted free and then assisted a Kingston white flag. 'We are not joking when we say the strength of our panel is, we think, the best in Ireland. Today showed that,' Barrett continued. 'Conor Lehane, he hasn't played much in the last 12 months. He came on against Waterford two weeks ago, got a critical point, and today sticks the penalty. He also clipped points and won frees. Absolutely invaluable. 'Shane Kingston too, Robbie O'Flynn, Tommy O'Connell put in a huge shift. Niall O'Leary came on. Brian Roche came on half-forward, had to go back midfield to do a job, it is just what he does. The strength of our panel is unbelievable, today really showed that. 'We were absolutely blown away here three weeks ago. We knuckled down, trained really well over the last three weeks. We knew up three weeks ago wasn't a fair representation of us as a team. We came up this time with one mission: to win. A brilliant day for Cork hurling.'

Keith Ricken: 'With a lack of games, the first ten minutes was going to catch you'
All-Ireland MFC quarter-final: Cork: 1-12 (1-1-10) Tyrone: 1-21 (1-2-17) Cork manager Keith Ricken was left to bemoan a disastrous opening quarter as his charges just could not overcome the mountain they left for themselves to climb in Saturday's defeat to Tyrone in the All-Ireland MFC quarter-final at O'Moore Park in Portlaoise. With wing-forward Cathal Farley finding the net for the Red Hand county in the fourth minute, the Rebels were eight points down (1-6 to 0-1) before they knew what had hit them. Despite brave resistance thereafter, their ultimate fate had been sealed early on. 'For young lads coming into this, with a lack of games, the first ten minutes was going to catch you. Tyrone had had a lot of games, and they really got us at the start. I was kind of dreading that, because I felt it could happen,' said Ricken. 'I knew we would come back into it, because we would always try hard. We spent an awful lot of energy doing that. In the comeback, we needed to get goals, so we could have put something in the bank. We got one good goal, but we had a couple more really good goal chances.' The excellent Ben Corkery Delaney's bullet to the Tyrone net in the 24th minute invigorated Cork, and they managed to reduce the deficit to six points at half-time (1-13 to 1-7). Entering the game's final quarter, they were only four points behind (1-15 to 1-11). 'Coming down the home straight, when we got it down to four points, we looked gassed. We probably ran out of juice in the last eight or nine minutes, and they kicked six points in that period,' added the Cork boss. 'Small mistakes came in then too, we kicked two out over the sideline when they were inches away from being a brilliant pass to split their defence. We had a few stray hand-passes, one or two silly frees we gave away. 'The other thing we found difficult this week, and I would put their education key, is that we had one guy who came on today who is doing his Leaving Cert, and four guys out there doing their Junior Certs as well. It's been a hard week for them. That too was a factor, and I'm not looking for excuses.' With the likes of Peter Colton, Eoin Long, Thomas Meenan and James Mulgrew hugely prominent from beginning to end, Tyrone will be a tough nut to crack heading into the last four. For Cork, their campaign is over, but Ricken was left with encouraging green shoots of a better future. Scorers for Tyrone: E Long (0-6, 0-3fs), C Farley (1-2), P Colton (0-5,1tp), J Mulgrew (tp), T Meenan, J Kerr (0-1 '45, 0-1f) (0-2 each), A Quinn, P McDonald (0-1 each). Scorers for Cork: B Corkery Delaney (1-4, 1tp), E Maguire (0-4, 0-3fs), J Byerley(f), L O'Mahony, D McCarthy, D Flynn (0-1 each).

CORK: R Twohig; B Coffey, A Keane, M Kiernan; J Miskella, C McCarthy, B Cronin; S Kelleher Leavy, R Hayes; L O'Mahony, D Flynn, S Long; J Byerley, B Corkery Delaney, E Maguire.
