This Sunday in Athleague, County Intermediate Champions Kinvara take on Mayo kingpins Tooreen in the Connacht Intermediate Club Final with a spot in the All-Ireland Semi-Finals at stake.
Recent history has shown that Galway teams have always done well at this stage of the competition but as Tooreen showed in 2017 when they beat Ballindereen by four points, they are a team not to be taken lightly.
Kinvara needed a very late goal to beat Kilconieron in the County Final and their manager Michael Helebert spoke to Sean Walsh ahead of Sunday's game.
