ALLIANZ FOOTBALL LEAGUE DIVISION 1: ALL TO PLAY FOR WITH ONE POINT SEPARATING SEVEN COUNTIES
Galway and Tyrone (both on
4pts) meet in Tuam Stadium, having had one win each in their head-to-head over
the last two League seasons. Tyrone won by 3-15 to 1-14 in Omagh last year,
while Galway won by 1-9 to 0-8 in Tuam Stadium in 2018.
With only one point separating
seven of the eight counties after three rounds, Division 1 looks set to be
competitive to the very end.
Dublin (4 pts) are the only
unbeaten team as they prepare to take on Donegal (3 pts) in Croke Park.
It will be the first meeting
between the two counties since 2018 when Dublin won twice, 0-20 to 0-15 in
Allianz League Division 1 and by 2-15 to 0-15 in the Super 8’s.
Donegal’s last win over Dublin
was in the 2014 All-Ireland semi-final (3-14 to 0-17). Since then they
have met seven times in League and Championship, with a draw the sole source of
comfort for the Ulster side among Dublin’s six wins.
Kerry (3pts) and Meath (0 pts)
meet in the Allianz League for the first time since 2002 when the Kingdom won
by three points. Kerry beat Meath by 2-18 to 1-13 in last year’s ‘Super
8s’.
Mayo and Monaghan (both on
3pts) meet in the League for the sixth successive year with Mayo having won in
2015-16-18-19 while Monaghan’s last success came in 2017.
Feb 22: Dublin v Donegal, 7.0; Feb 23: Sunday: Kerry v Meath, Fitzgerald Stadium 1.0; Galway v Tyrone, Tuam Stadium, 2.0; Monaghan v Mayo, Clones, 2.0.
