A win here would be massive for either side, with further games against Armagh and Derry to come for both. Here are the teams for this All-Ireland Group 4 clash: Galway: Connor Gleeson; Johnny McGrath, Sean Mulkerrin, Jack Glynn; Dylan McHugh, Sean Kelly, Liam Silke; Paul Conroy, John Maher; Céin Darcy, Shane Walsh, Cillian McDaid; Matthew Tierney, Rob Finnerty, Matthew Thompson. Dublin: Stephen Cluxton; David Byrne, Theo Clancy, Conor Tyrrell; Cian Murphy, John Small, Brian Howard; Peadar O Cofaigh Byrne, Tom Lahiff; Niall Scully, Lorcan O'Dell, Ciaran Kilkenny; Paddy Small, Con O'Callaghan, Colm Basquel. Good afternoon and welcome to our live blog for this All-Ireland Senior Football Championship clash between Galway and Dublin, which takes place at Pearse Stadium in Salthill. Dublin are in need of a response following subpar performances against Meath, Wicklow and Tyrone. Galway's array of long kickout targets - John Maher, Paul Conroy, Matthew Tierney and Cein Darcy - could pose problems for Dublin. They're not huge in the middle eight, or brilliant fielders, bar Peadar O Cofaigh Byrne. There's bound to be a breeze as the match is in Salthill. Galway are familiar with these conditions and are patient, boasting numerous two point shooters, especially with Shane Walsh included in the team. He hasn't played since being substituted at half-time early on in the League against Dublin. Liam Silke and Johnny McGrath are likely to mark Paddy Small and Con O'Callaghan. Despite recent performances, Dublin still possess significant physical strength up front and a scoring threat. This match is expected to be closely contested until the end.

Brian Gavin: Referee afternoons couldn't have differed more as Connacht final proves tough outing for Paddy Neilan
It didn't have much competition from what was offered up in Killarney earlier in the day, but the Connacht final in Castlebar gave us enough talking and turning points for a week. Where to start is the question? We'll approach it chronologically. The first-half penalty, it must be said, was on the soft side. Mattie Ruane did get a tug of Johnny McGrath's arm but it was innocuous enough. There have been advantages and frees been given for those type of incidents everywhere on the field but referees have also turned a blind eye to them too. In this case, Paddy Neilan felt he just had to give it. This is exclusive subscriber content. Already a subscriber? Sign in Subscribe to access all of the Irish Examiner.
