Donegal's Michael Murphy admits he's already thinking about the Ulster SFC opener against neighbours Derry.
There's still a whole league programme to navigate before the May 25th clash at Celtic Park, but the 2012 All-Ireland winning captain admits everything is geared towards that massive derby game:
"I suppose the sights are still set on Derry at Celtic Park at the start of the championship and that's what we are building towards," the Glenswilly clubman says in The Irish News.
"It's about getting performances now in these league games and building towards that Derry game.
"It will be a very tough task playing away from home against our rivals, but I suppose that's what the championship is all about and this is what the league is all about.
"We have a lot of tricky fixtures - four away and three at home - and every one will be very tough."
