The bad news for Mayo is new rules seem to play to Kerry and David Clifford’s strengths
Galway's Shane Walsh has shown an impressive ability to score two-pointers, a habit he hopes to continue against Tyrone this weekend. Photograph: Ben Brady/Inphohave put in a significant campaign to date, blooding new players and picking up points as they go. Their player of the campaign so far, Seán Bugler, suffered a knock last weekend and may be rested.
Roscommon’s setback last week has re-energised the promotion race and given encouragement to the likes of Cork, now just two points off the leaders. Davey Burke was clearly unimpressed by his team’s lack of resistance in the face of a committed Meath display and makes four changes for this. Cork were sloppy in possession during the comprehensive defeat by Monaghan last week and will need to improve on that if they are to stop the visitors getting back on track.
Derry have struggled for form this year and won't expect any clemency from Donegal. Photograph: Lorcan Doherty/InphoAnother Ulster derby but between teams in different states of repair, who will be facing each other in the championship in five weeks. Donegal lowered the stakes against Galway by making changes and resting players. They were unable to harness the Salthill breeze to rectify a big half-time deficit.
