Galway boss Kevin Walsh is relishing today's All-Ireland 4B football qualifier against Donegal.

The Tribesmen are aiming to complete a hat-trick of successes against Ulster opposition in the backdoor series, having already accounted for Armagh and Derry this summer.

"This is a big challenge for us, but it's one we're really looking forward to," Walsh said in the Connacht Tribune.

"A match like this is why players train so hard and put in so much effort all year - to have the chance in Croke Park to put in big displays and have a go at winning something.

"The wins over Armagh and Derry have given us a lot of confidence in our own ability. Both of them were very tough games against blanket defences, but we stuck with it and got there in the end.

"Since the Derry match, we have focused totally on our own preparations for this match. We all know that we need to produce big displays on Saturday, but it's a challenge that the lads are looking forward to. We're going to give it our best shot and see where it takes us."
