GAA: Dublin Beat Galway In Salthill, Limerick Lay Down A Marker Against Cork

The All-Ireland Gaelic football championship sprung to life at the weekend as Dublin reminded everyone of their credentials by beating an in-form Galway side by a point at Pearse Stadium, Kerry had a comfortable win against Roscommon, and Cavan earned a superb win over Mayo in MacHale Park to put Kevin McStay’s side on the back foot for their remaining fixtures. In hurling, Limerick stormed to a 16-point victory over league champions Cork, while Tipperary confirmed their place in the knockout rounds by beating Waterford at Semple Stadium. To discuss the weekend’s football, Matt was joined by former Roscommon footballer Paul Earley and Galway’s Ray Silke, while former Limerick hurler Joe Quaid and former Tipperary manager Michael Ryan covered Sunday’s action.
