An extra level of spice to their Championship showdown this afternoon.
While people from Leitrim will proudly declare that their gutsy win against New York officially kicked-off the Championship, all eyes in Connacht will be firmly fixed on MacHale Park as Mayo and Galway lock horns.
Of course, Mayo will be out to avenge their narrow defeat to the Tribesmen in last year’s provincial semi-final, while Galway will be looking to build on an impressive league campaign that saw them reach the final against Dublin.
You might remember that the last meeting between these two sides was a very feisty affair as a series of brawls and cards at the end of the match left a bad taste.
On that note, it appears that the friendly rivalry between both counties is very much at the forefront of the thinking for some fans.
JOE reader Tommy Varden informs us that these posters have been erected in Manulla, Mayo and we’ve only got one thing to say…”Three Billboards Outside Manulla, Mayo.”
If there’s an Academy Award for GAA trolling, this might be a strong contender.
