With both teams now safely back in Div 1 and still in their 'championship training schedules' this game will be won by the team that treats it as less of a hindrance. The only thing that will concern both managers is avoiding injuries. Won't be any heavy tackles going in from either side and expect a high scoring game with plenty of goals.

They get momentum, they go mad, here they go

I fancy a 6-10 point win by as you saud the team who relish it the most. Not sure which team it will be though. Both are quality sides.
Time to take a more chill-pill approach to life.

Has this been confirmed as a double bill on Sunday?

Team selection for the Dubs will be interesting. I'd like to see Jason Whelan of Ballymun and Cullen get starts in the half forward line. Bastick pushing for a place in midfield. Nolan and Fitzsimons have got 7 mins each in total, so if they don't start they'll find it very hard to win their places back for the championship. Rock might get a shot in the forwards, though personally I'm not sure he's going to be better than what we already have. Hopefully Bernard will be back.

Delighted to get another run for the lads at HQ. Better than a training session that's for sure. Dublin are a class act this year, great to have a chance to measure ourselves again.

Getting the extra game with the possibility of another ahead of the championship is great.

Like Hound said, we need game time for some of the Ballymun lads plus Nolan & Fitzsimons

Dinny Breen

Does Jim Gavin know his best team I wonder?

Can pose it's own problems when trying to get the balance right.

Mayo out for revenge, aiming to go one better than last year.

An over-hyped Dublin team ripe for an ambush.

Mayo by four.

Who would you prefer to play in the final??

Canalman

Our bogey team awaits. Haven't beaten them iirc in knockout football in nearly 30 years.

Bar McMahon (at a push) can't really see any of the Ballymun lads making a championship team and would be happier to see Kevin Nolan and Fitzsimons get some "game time" (sorry about cliché).
Would be very aggrieved and surprised if Dublin don't come out on Sunday with all guns blazing and with a view of "avoiding injuries".

Anyhows our bogey team to prevail as usual ..............Mayo by 2 points.

Great double bill by the way.......... really looking forward to both games.

Declan

Should be a decent day out in Croker on Sunday. An all Leinster final beckons I think ;)
