The new round robin All-Ireland series got underway today, as Mayo made a big statement with victory over Kerry in Killarney, while Galway had to dig deep to hold on against Tyrone.
Shane Walsh kicked half a dozen points as Connacht champions Galway did enough to see off Tyrone in wet conditions at Pearse Stadium in Salthill.
Galway can be All-Ireland champions this year, but they need all their best players on from to get there according to two-time Celtic Cross winner Peter Canavan.
Ciarán Whelan believes Galway need to see a bigger contribution from their much-vaunted attack.
Peter Canavan does not expect Stephen Cluxton to play for Dublin this year but thinks the return of the game's most decorated goalkeeper will still be a big boost to their chances.
A flying start and a strong finish proved crucial as Mayo captured their second Allianz Football League Division 1 title in five seasons at Croke Park.
Galway will face Mayo in the league final next weekend after leading throughout an open contest at Pearse Stadium in Salthill to oust Kerry by 1-13 to 0-14 in a repeat of the All-Ireland final last year.
Kilkenny manager Derek Lyng reckoned the Cats will face their most difficult challenge of the season to date when they face Cork Allianz Hurling League Division 1 semi-final next weekend following their two-point win over Waterford.
