Ryan Taylor insists that the fire is still burning strongly in Clare as they start their All-Ireland defence. Clare have never put All-Irelands back-to-back and have invariably fallen well short of doing so when defending their previous four titles, with reaching an All-Ireland semi-final as champions in 1998 their best showing.

Offaly captain Ciarán Burke is forecasting a vastly different encounter against Dublin tomorrow after their smash and grab at Croke Park in February. A 0-27 to 1-23 victory in the Allianz League put Offaly in the driving seat for promotion to Division 1A, which they ultimately achieved at Dublin’s expense. The defeat was a sore one for Niall Ó Ceallacháin’s side after they had led for long periods before suffering a late red card and being reeled in.

Cianán Fahy has paid a glowing tribute to Galway teammate David Burke ahead of yet another Championship campaign for the long-serving midfielder. Burke, 35, is in his 16th season with Galway and has shown great resilience to continue playing at the highest level after suffering a cruciate ligament injury in March 2023 and returned to full fitness by the end of that year to help power St Thomas's to an All-Ireland club title.

Presuming Dublin beat Wicklow, they will apparently play Meath or Offaly in Portlaoise rather than Navan or Tullamore. 🫠
It may be 27 years since Cork last won the league but Patrick Horgan played with three members of that 1998 team - Diarmuid O’Sullivan, Seán Óg Ó hAilpín and Joe Deane. #GAA
Fair play to Cork and all that, but we all know who ended up with the All-Ireland the last time they won the League. 😉 #ropeadope
