Surprisingly beaten by Wexford in the first round, Galway will be expected to get their bid for back-to-back O'Duffy Cups back on track when they host Dublin in Athenry tomorrow (throw-in 3.15pm).

Dublin's crushing 0-5 to 4-24 loss to Cork in the opening round would suggest that the reigning All-Ireland champions will have it easy, although manager Tony Ward isn't taking anything for granted.

"The performance is what it's about on Saturday for us," he tells the Connacht Tribune.

"It will be nearly like the Derry game last year. And to perform for the full hour, not just see the game for a half hour and sit back on it then.

"You never know what's going to come from Dublin. I remember we played them in the league last year, we were lucky to come away with a three-point win and then we played them in a challenge match and we beat them by 25 points." Tweet
