Yes a bit of shuffling alright,I'm sure eir will get a sat night match yes Dublin kerry a big loss.
Tg4 will probably still show the  2 Galway games maybe deferred kerry Dublin?all will be revealed tomorrow when fixtures come out!

A little off topic but reading Ciaran Whelans piece about mayo going on a training camp 11th April,he says the fact they are not releasing players it will mean forfeiting a home league match in 2019.So I'm just wondering if kevin walsh releases his players back to the clubs,does this mean he only has 2wks to prepare for mayo on may 13th?

The league sure is hotting up a Galway and dublin win next weekend,would probably see Galway through to a league final.
At the other end kildare are at home to mayo,if kildare could scrape a win,I think in there final game, Galway will have a weakened team so kildare should win to give them 4pts.so Tyrone Donegal mayo will need a minimum of four points to survive.is it scoring difference or head to head that decides placing?

Strong kerry team,Good game for galway the blanket will be well tested.clifford will tower over kerin,although like Paul Murphy he is tenacious.if Galway don't get parity at midfield it will be a long day.It should be a good game with a lot of young guys eager to impress.TG4 have deferred coverage at 3.45pm.

I don't think you will see Higgins with the footballers at all this year, somehow the commitment would be too much, seeing the super 8s will be here this year.he is happy with the hurlers.dont think mayo want to announce it in case it turns into a side show.
Could be totally wrong!!!!

From a Galway perspective the most disappointing thing was that  the guys who got a chance today  no one really did anything to enhance their chances in the first team.midfield is a problem area for Galway at the minute and I'm afraid after today we still are in trouble.armstrong was lively, and look finnerty and conneeley are for the future.
well done to the rossies 4pts down at one stage and had the determination to turn it around.

Something that was alluded to on the "fantastic"😁galway bay commentary was that after the melee which mcentee got involved in he headed straight for the dressing room rochford they said didnt even look at him or speak to him could there be a bit of friction in the camp??or was he just pissed off mcentee got involved?

Yes it will be interesting to see who starts,I think you will see Michael Daly back for his first start of the year,Gary o Donnell should start too,padraig Cunningham,needs a full game to see what he has to offer.varley will start too I'd imagine.

Just saw there on Galway radio Twitter account pitch inspection at 8.30 am both games go ahead as planned.

Keep an ear to the radio before travelling,bit of snow here last night it's probably worse,out the country.it should more than likely go ahead.

Good luck to Galway side Liam mellows today against cuala
"Miracles do happen"

Galway to start with the same 15, league is the league Walsh would have targeted this game as it is a home match,in fairness mayo travel well and after a defeat always seem determined to bounce back.i expect it to be the usual tight game with Galway that bit ahead fitness wise to shade it.

Have your mobdro app ready for this evening😁😁

Mayo not great at home, but kerry defence poor against donegal,
Mayo win.
Kildare need to win this one and in fairness were very good in the first half and could have had another couple of goals,
Kildare win.
Tyrone, Dublin to be a feisty affair,Tyrone hurting from last week and home support to shade a tight game.
Donegal don't have a great record in letterkenny but done enough in killarney to suggest they are more attack minded.
Galway are not bad on the road but home advantage to swing this one.
