RTÉ GAA Podcast: Dowling on Limerick's depth | McStay on Galway's room for improvement

Shane Dowling, Kevin McStay and Michael Foley of The Sunday Times join Mikey Stafford and Rory O'Neill to look back onthe weekend's Championship action.

Limerick consolidated their status as All-Ireland favourites with their win over Waterford and Shane believes the nature of the performance, with so many players missing, is proof that the Treaty County have a panel where every player knows their role perfectly.

It was a nightmare afternoon for Tipperary against Clare, who showed that their dependancy on Tony Kelly may not be as severe as it once was. The clash with Cork next weekend now hoves into view.

In Leinster, besides facile wins for Kilkenny and Galway, we had Dublin's one-point win below in Wexford, which showcased the accuracy of Donal Burke. For Wexford there are many questions about their tactics, their free-taker and where they go from here.

Galway's win over Mayo owed more to the Tribesmen's defensive showing than their attack, which in itself is a remarkable turnaround. Kevin is expecting more from their vaunted attackers in the coming weeks, but also believes his old team Roscommon will not be afraid of what they saw in Castlebar.

The shocks this weekend came in Leinster, where Wexford and Wicklow accounted for Offaly and Laois respectively. It raises hopes about how entertaining and competitive the Tailteann Cup may be, if players buy into it.

Alas no shock in Ulster for long-suffering Armagh fans, who saw their side fail to land a glove on Donegal. Kevin believes this Donegal team should have a major say in Ulster.
