Would be a great day for Galway to win the double, which they will, only team to be able to live with Galway in the province are us.

Hopefully indeed analyser.

Hard to know. Would be next to nothing between Meath,Derry,Tyrone,Mayo should they meet later on. It's a head scratcher how Donegal aren't one of the provincial Finalists especially after watching that effort by Down today.

Went to see our Ladies today in Connacht Intermediate final. They got obliterated and Leitrim operated at a much higher level. Hopefully next weekend is different

A tough draw for us to get Tyrone who pushed Armagh all the way to extra time and look at how good Armagh looked yesterday.

Our neighbours will be pleased to draw Kildare and Monaghan

With Kerry due to play Donegal on 16th/17th we will see what happens. For the management and players of both teams they need to make a decision as soon as possible

Roscommon well able for Tyrone. A poor Mayo team beat them up in Omagh last year. Galway will be very happy and as for us….well anything could happen.

Tough draw but the big game is fast approaching Sunday. Really looking forward to it and hopefully we can put in another massive performance and get the win. Galway are a big physical team with talent everywhere but I'm liking the balance to our team. We have real pace throughout the team now which can hurt amyone

The toughest draw for us would have been Donegal. I also didn't want Ros to draw Mayo so soon after Castlebar.
I hoped for Cavan or Kildare. Tyrone is a tough draw but if we're to make a serious run in the All Ireland championship, we'll have to be able to beat the red hands in The Hyde. The gaa, with the new system, are trying in so far as possible to separate the All Ireland series from the provincial championships. Whoever wins or loses on Sunday, Galway have an easier game than Roscommon in the first round of the All Ireland series. Definitely diminishes the importance of the provincial final.

provincial winner should have been seeded in draw no doubt they'll be back with another tweak next year.

Sorry. Those potential dates for the Kerry v Donegal match are WRONG.
