Enda McGinley and Ciaran Whelan are up early in the morning to preview Dublin v Derry with Mikey Stafford and Rory O'Neill.The lads also look ahead to Mayo-Roscommon and Tyrone-Kerry, in what promises to be an intriguing weekend in the league nobody (bar Roscommon maybe) really wants to win.But first to Celtic Park, where Dublin take their 100% record in Division 2.

Rory Gallagher's side have looked the best team in the country this spring, so Whelo is hoping a proper challenge for Dublin will spark something in Dessie Farrell's team.Enda has been as impressed as anyone with Derry's form and fitness, but he highlights how it is based on a very settled first 15 and a pretty thin squad.The two lads look at some key match-ups in what promises to be a cracking game (live on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player, from 4.30pm Saturday).Elsewhere in Division 2, Kildare's trip to Ardee to face Louth looks pivotal, as the LIlywhites seek some form and a style of play against a well-drilled Mickey Harte outfit.With Mayo and Rosommon at risk of meeting each other up to SIX times this year according to Rory, Enda explores a few 'experiments' that Kevin McStay and Davy Burke might conduct this weekend - Mayo in particular seem keen to avoid a League final against their neighbours, one week before they meet in Championship.Elsewhere the lads ask if there will be a bounce out of Tyrone as they welcome Kerry's trip to Omagh, while the impressive start to the Vinny Corey era in Monaghan is also examined.
