1 p.m.: IF Armagh vs. Dublin

The opening game at the Mecca on Sunday promises to be a rousing affair, with Dublin on top of the division while Armagh is also poised in playoff contention. Armagh, in fact, has had a bombardment of games in the last two weeks which is crazy to say the least.
Garth Kelly and Kevin McGeeney are battling injury, but Shane Lyons has been in tremendous form. Alan Hearty and John Hanratty are dangerous forwards, while Donal Hearty is a brilliant shot stopper in goal.

Dublin put themselves on top of the table with a win over Kerry last weekend. Alan O’Reilly is a very confident keeper. Kieran Fitzgerald, David Mooney, who is a brilliant player, Declan Reilly, Phil Bannon and John McDaid bring a serious element to the side. Phil Daly had four goals last week and will take watching.

It should be a very entertaining start to the day. Dublin to prevail.

2:30 p.m.: SH Galway vs. Offaly

The last group game in the hurling division. Hopefully both teams will have all their paperwork in order as last week left a lot to be desired in that capacity.

That said, if Offaly gets the win here they are directly in to the hurling final, while if Galway are victorious then it will be a rematch for these teams in the semi, while Tipperary will get the lone slot in the final. 

Offaly are on a quest for three in a row with captain Donie Broderick looking to be the third man up for the Faithful. He is having a very good year as the armband wearer, while Shane Sweeney and Richie Dollard are prolific scorers beside him in the forward line. Aiden Ryan from Craughwell launches the ball to the opposite 45 with every puck out and is having a brilliant year as custodian.
