Allianz Football League Division One

Galway v Monaghan, Pearse Stadium, 12.30pm

Two of the in form teams in Division One collide in Salthill. Galway are heartened by four straight wins, Monaghan’s response to a loss against Mayo was to reel off three victories on the spin.

That is why this match is eagerly anticipated because both outfits acknowledge it will be revealing.

Kevin Walsh can reflect with the utmost of satisfaction on Galway’s return to the top tier, but Monaghan remain a wonderfully spirited and resourceful panel.

How Malachy O’Rourke has kept Monaghan relevant while integrating young talent is notable. Galway, though, are beginning to generate momentum.
