First proper weekend of the season with one of the games of the year in prospect already
GALWAY V MAYO:
Two of the top contenders meet in the Connaught championship this Sunday,Galway , who reached the league final before narrowly losing to Dublin are the most improved side in the country over the last two years ,against Mayo, consistent finalists and one of the most consistent teams this century although they had a terrible spring and are showing signs of aging. Either way sparks will fly between this pair. I think Galway have too much for them and I think they'll win by a couple
DONEGAL V CAVAN
again two sides with differing form in the league, Donegal were relegated form division 1 while Cavan were promoted in the other direction. One thing in Donegals favour is they're unbeaten at home in the championship since 2010 but these runs have to come to an end so it's Cavan for me
The big games in the hurling are Kilkenny v Dublin and Offaly v Galway, handy wins for Kilkenny and Galway here.
Elsewhere look for Carlow to pull off a "shock" against a piss poor Louth and Laois to hammer Wexford
