Brian Gavin: Cork Kerry clash showed why the two-point free has to be ditched
As they so often do, Cork and Kerry gave us plenty to discuss in Saturday's All-Ireland SFC group game. There was the skirmish before half-time and like the Galway-Offaly hurling one in April there is nothing officials can do until the teams return to the field for the start of the second half.

All-Ireland SFC permutations: Who needs what heading into final round?
The Central Competitions Control Committee will meet on Tuesday to decide the neutral venues for the final round of the All-Ireland SFC series. Here are some of the permutations for the groups going into that third round on June 14 and 15: Group 1. With all four teams on two points, everything is on the line in the final round. Mayo know a defeat to Donegal will put them in jeopardy of going out of the championship. They would then require Cavan to beat Tyrone and therefore finish ahead of Malachy O'Rourke's side on the head-to-head differential. Group 2. Kerry and Meath have qualified for the knock-out stages and The Kingdom know a draw against The Royals the weekend after next will be good enough for them to top the table. Cork need to beat Roscommon to leapfrog Davy Burke's men and lift themselves from the foot of the table. Group 3. The winners of Down and Monaghan will earn a last-eight spot with the losers guaranteed the consolation of a last 12 place. A draw will do Down as they are currently in No1 position based on score difference. A point for Louth against Clare will see the Leinster runners-up through to the preliminary quarter-finals. Group 4. Armagh have topped the group of death yet again and can afford to take the game against Galway easy, knowing their top spot is secured. Galway will be hoping they take a casual approach to it. Derry need to beat Dublin to qualify ahead of them.

Derry v Galway live score updates from All-Ireland SFC group stage clash
Galway need a ruthless display at Celtic Park in Derry today after the Dublin defeat in the first round of the All-Ireland SFC group stage. Padraig Joyce's men were many people's Sam Maguire favourites up to then but that talk has gone cold and defeat again today in Derry could prove very costly. The continued absence of Damien Comer is a blow, but he has been added to the squad at the 11th hour. The need is great for Derry also today after defeat to Armagh in round one. Paddy Tally's men are shipping too many scores as injuries have left the team well short of experience and power. It's a baptism of fire for young duo Ruairi Forbes and Patrick McGurk today against some of the best players in the game from Galway. Lachlan Murray is on the bench for Derry, as is goalie Odhran Lynch. Either or both could well start. They pushed Armagh to four points, but were 13 behind with 11 minutes to go. The bookies make Galway 2/5 favourites and have Derry as long as 13/5. Great news for Galway in that Damien Comer is in the Tribe 26-man squad today. Cian Hernon is out. Derry may not be pleased to see him back Welcome to Celtic Park in the Bogside in Derry city for today's crunch All-Ireland SFC clash. Defeat in round one for both teams has increased the stakes. Both will be desperate for points. The rain is gone for now but the wind is going to be aserious factor today. Two pointers aplenty..
