Kevin Walsh steered Galway to the Allianz Football League Division Two title in April.
Sunday March 18
Allianz Football League Division One
Galway v Dublin, Pearse Stadium, 2pm
Galway and Dublin carry flawless 2018 records into Sunday's game in Salthill.
Kevin Walsh's charges have enjoyed a productive return to Division One winning five matches on the spin.
For a team that hasn't operated in the top tier since 2011 it is a fair achievement with Damien Comer a potent threat.
Dublin proved too strong for Kerry at Croke Park last Sunday with Ciaran Kilkenny and Niall Scully netting goals. It was another reminder of Dublin's considerable ability and they will relish the trip out west.
