Galway chasing All-Ireland glory on several fronts
GALWAY fans are starting to dream of their county tasting All-Ireland success later this summer.
This Sunday, the Galway senior footballers have a chance to progress into the All-Ireland semi-final when they meet Dublin in the last eight of the championship
Cork face Mayo, Kerry take on Tyrone and Louth meet Monaghan in the three remaining All-Ireland quarter-finals this weekend. If Mayo, Tyrone and Monaghan win this weekend, Mayo will face the winner of Galway or Dublin in the All-Ireland semi-final.
The All-Ireland semi-final draw will take place on Sunday evening on RTE after Galway’s clash with Dublin. Repeat pairings from sides that have met in the All-Ireland and provincial championships will be avoided. The Tribesmen can meet any of the three winners in the last four if they get past Dublin.

The Galway ladies footballers also face neighbours Mayo in the All-Ireland quarter final on Sunday, July 5th, at Tuam Stadium at 5:45pm.
