I'm just not convinced we are better than Dublin. Magher is a savage competitor, but we are also now relying a lot on Matthew Tierney in the middle..

Galway need to win, it is in our own hands, if they can't win one home game they deserve to be in Division 2. Kerry will be involved in a battle in Armagh. Neither of them will take a step back. It will be a ferocious, both will want to lay down markers.

Replying To AnCrúiscínLán:  "Granted they are away next weekend, but Kerry will want to ensure they get to a league final. They are a different animal, and on their day, in a class of their own, and will want to see progression all the way from here on in.

Their conversion rate v Mayo was off the charts and their defence has tightened up too. They also have serious fringe players who want to claim a starting place come the business end. So, imho, it has to be Armagh for the drop."
It's still all in their own hands though, for Armagh, Dublin, and Galway. That should mean a hugely motivated Armagh side next week. Armagh retain div1 status with a win. Dublin guarantee their status with a 4+pt win, and Galway guarantee their status with any result better than a 4pt loss. All to play for in Armagh and Salthill.

Replying To Kickitout:  "Happy with win but thought Galway should have kicked on and try win by more unless I'm reading it wrong if Armagh beat Kerry ( I think they will at home ) Galway can loose by 3 and stay up loose by 4 and they gone I might be wrong with that ,"
Correct. Would have settled for any win this morning but looking back some bad decisions cost us not taking opportunity to win by more and giving us a real buffer against Dublin.
