What time and TV channel is Galway v Meath on today in the All-Ireland?
They'll go after Conor Flaherty in the Galway goals with that press - particularly when Galway are kicking into the breeze - and seek to make hay by pulling the trigger on the two pointers, although with wind not as big a factor in Croke Park it probably works against them. They'll also need Matthew Costello fit.
Galway have refused to be knocked out of this Championship and they've gone close three times. The sight of Croke Park should lift them and they have a big edge in experience.
Shane Walsh sustained a shoulder problem last weekend against Down while Rob Finnerty is flying. Can Sean Rafferty and Donal Keogan stop them? Galway look too hard nosed and might get the job done here.

Ger Brennan has prospered where others faltered - he's earned shot at Dublin job
We haven't heard from Ger Brennan yet on the exact reasoning behind his decision to quit Louth, so we can only surmise for now. The likelihood is that, at the very least, he was leaning towards leaving before word emerged on Saturday evening that Dessie Farrell was vacating the Dublin job. Indeed, there's every chance that he may have left Louth regardless of Farrell's intentions. But, however it's all come about, now that there is an opening and Brennan is a free agent, drawing a line between the two is irresistible. Brennan, who turned 40 on the day he announced his Louth departure, will almost certainly be approached by the Dublin county board and, given the dearth of other credible candidates, you'd imagine that the job would be his if he wants it. Yet, it's a reflection how he has done in Louth that the role he is leaving is, strictly in footballing terms, arguably more appealing than that to which he is now being strongly linked. Louth have just won the Leinster title and appear to have enough talent emerging from underage teams to kick on from here. Dublin, meanwhile, are being weakened year on year by retirements, a trend that will likely be maintained this coming winter. And, clearly, the emerging talent is not sufficient to sustain them as a serious force at the back end of the Championship for now at least. But then Brennan has proven himself adept at confounding such perceptions. When Mickey Harte jumped ship to Derry two years ago, the room for further improvement in Louth appeared minimal and, indeed, the likelihood seemed that they would drop out of Division Two and lose further ground on Dublin in Leinster, having been beaten by 21 points by them in the 2023 provincial final. Brennan was taking over from a man who had essentially told the players that juice wasn't worth the squeeze, yet he managed to galvanise them and harness the momentum that had been built under Harte to take Louth to a higher plain again. They were competitive against Dublin in last year's Leinster final and reached the All-Ireland quarter-finals for the first time. This year they won the provincial title for the first time since 1957. There was almost an inevitability about their struggles in the All-Ireland series on the back of such a historic breakthrough, and maybe Brennan, after two full-on years, couldn't summon the energy to take one step back in order to take two forward in reinforcing the side so that they could really challenge beyond Leinster. But the prospect of managing his native county would surely reinvigorate him. Often, managerial appointments owe as much to timing as anything else, and Brennan is hot right now. He may not be when it comes around again. So many ex-Dublin footballers have struggled when managing outside the county, effectively blowing their chances of landing the big job. But Brennan has prospered and has now earned his chance.

GAA manager took cocaine straight after county final win during addiction battle
A GAA senior club manager and former Meath underage player has revealed how he reached for cocaine in the dressing room after winning a county Championship final in the grip of addiction. David Hosie, 47, is now the manager of Seneschalstown men's senior football team after he sought treatment when he hit rock bottom, and is now sharing his story with clubs in the hope of saving someone else from the hell he lived in for over 30 years. The prodigious footballer, who played at senior level for his native O'Mahony's club in Navan at just 17 years old and also excelled at soccer, turned to drink and then drugs before he turned 16. "I grew up in a tough estate and was full of fear and anxiety from an early age. I always seemed to be craving acceptance," he said. "My heroes were Colm O'Rourke of the Meath team and Ian Rush of Liverpool and I used to pretend to be them so I didn't have to be myself. I was only eight or nine at that time." David's dad was his hero and played for Parkvilla but tragedy hit the family when he contracted meningitis and suffered life-long complications. "I think that was the catalyst because my home life became a bit fractured because we were always at the hospital and I started building resentment against the world. I was a very angry boy. "The only place I was comfortable in my own skin was on the pitch so I put everything in to excel at football." David started taking cider and acid tablets and liked how it made him confident and popular. He eventually progressed to Ecstacy tablets, speed and amphetamines and prescription drugs before turning to cocaine. "It became my solution," he said. "I drank to black out and drugged addictively." However, his addiction took its toll on his career and he was sacked from his job as an upholsterer. He joined An Post and missed 200 days of work in the last four years of his addiction. During this time, he continued to excel at both GAA and soccer. "I was getting letters from Liverpool about sending someone over to watch me. I played with all the Meath underage teams and was in the under-17 Development squad. "I turned up at a game still drunk and coming down off the drugs. "I had a mask for everyone and had built up a character called 'Hosie'. I lost David." In 1997, he won a Meath Senior Championship with Navan O'Mahony's and was the top scorer in the county championship with a total of two goals and 24 points. "I was getting free drink and acceptance and the better I played, the more I got. But when the final whistle went on that match, I walked off the pitch, the loneliest man in the world." "I had no emotion. I had cocaine waiting for me in my pocket in the dressing room and I went and took it. "I went on benders and didn't stop until the money ran out or my body gave up." David was eventually dropped from the Meath minor team and left O'Mahony's before he returned in 2002, two stone overweight and with a hole in his soul. One week before an Intermediate final between O'Mahony's and Carnaross in 2003, David went on a bender and missed training for the important game. He was told he would not be on the starting team but was played due to his past form and kicked one goal and four points in the game. "I was spiritually, mentally and physically bankrupt at that stage," he said. David left football, got married and admitted he was half drunk and high on drugs on the altar. When his eldest child joined Seneschalstown GAA Club, he decided to go back and coach the under-21s. The Irish Mirror's Crime Writers Michael O'Toole and Paul Healy are writing a new weekly newsletter called Crime Ireland. Click here to sign up and get it delivered to your inbox every week "We won the Meath under-21 Championship and I went on a bender, blacked out and was found on a street in Navan." He went on to coach the senior teams in Seneschalstown, Bective and Bohermeen between 2015 and 2021 but eventually the wheels came off the wagon and his marriage fell apart. "It suited me. I had no responsibilities so I could drink when I wanted. But then relatives threw me out and I sofa surfed. In 2022, David tried to take his own life with wine and painkillers but he was found unresponsive in time. He tried to take his life again but thankfully found himself ringing a friend, which led to his stay in Cuan Mhuire Treatment Centre in Athy, Co. Kildare. "When I walked through those doors, I thought life was ending but it was only beginning. I was initially planning my escape and how I'd celebrate when I got out but slowly it dawned on me that I was being saved. "Recovery is wonderful but difficult and I'm on a journey of finding out who I am. The best thing about recovery is getting my feelings back and the worst thing is getting my feelings back." Two years ago, David got a call asking him to manage the Ladies team at Seneschalstown. "I was a bit apprehensive, but the first time I went down, I knew it was where I belonged. It was a wonderful experience with them." He took on the role of the manager of the senior men's team in January and believes he has finally found the acceptance he craved - from himself. "I'm David again. I'm not Hosie anymore. The disease of addiction robbed so much of my life but I'm finally able to live again."
