Galway captain Paul Conroy is braced for a 'tougher challenge' in this Saturday's round 3B qualifier.
The Tribesmen came away from the Athletic Grounds with a 1-12 to 0-12 victory over Armagh last weekend but Conroy expects Derry to provide a sterner test in Salthill.
"Derry would probably be... I wouldn't say a better side, but probably a more in-form side than Armagh this year," he opined to The Irish News.
"It's definitely going to be a tougher challenge. Derry are a team that's on the rise, with some very good players.
"They drew with Tyrone and gave Dublin a hard game for long periods of that game.
"They've been playing Division One football whereas Armagh were playing Division Three football.
"It's going to be a difference."
