Frank Roche at Kingspan Breffni:
Cavan v Donegal
Welcome to the new Group of Death, following Mayo's night of redemption in Omagh. Donegal start as favourites, despite or maybe even because of last week's surprise defeat to Tyrone in their one-time fortress of Ballybofey.
But Cavan will be buoyed, not just by their day-one victory in Castlebar but by the dynamic performance that underpinned it.
First up, though, comes the obligatory 'last-minute' changes. Raymond Galligan makes two alterations from the Cavan 15 unveiled on Friday, with Cian Madden and Seán McEvoy promoted to the home team's starting attack at the expense of Jason McLoughlin (who drops out of the match-day 26) and Ryan O'Neill (who reverts to the bench).
The big news from the Donegal dressing-room is that regular netminder Shaun Patton still hasn't recovered from the ankle injury that saw him miss out against Tyrone eight days ago, so Gavin Mulready deputises again.
There are two other switches from the announced line-up, Caolan McColgan and Conor O'Donnell coming in for Dáire Ó Baoill and All-Star Oisín Gallen.
If Jim McGuinness's charges can frank their favouritism and secure the win that their circumstances demand, it will set up a fascinating last-day finale in a fortnight, leaving all four teams deadlocked on two points apiece ahead of the meetings of Donegal/Mayo and Tyrone/Cavan.
CAVAN – L Brady; N Carolan, B O'Connell, C Reilly; P Faulkner, C Brady, K Brady; E Crowe, O Kiernan; G Smith, C McVeety, C Madden; S McEvoy, R Donohoe, C O'Reilly.
DONEGAL – G Mulready; F Roarty, B McCole, P Mogan; R McHugh, E Ban Gallagher, C Moore; H McFadden, M Langan; C McColgan, C Thompson, S O'Donnell; P McBrearty, M Murphy, C O'Donnell.

Michael Verney in Celtic Park:
The big news in Celtic Park is that Damien Comer is back in the Galway match-day squad for their crucial All-Ireland SFC clash with Derry.
Comer hasn't featured for the Tribesmen since their Connacht SFC semi-final against Roscommon but this is a must-win for Pádraic Joyce's men.
With both sides losing in the opening round, there are two big points up for grabs in what will be a tough day for football in demanding conditions.

John Cleary expected to remain in charge of Cork senior footballers for 2026
John Cleary is expected to remain in charge of the Cork senior footballers for a fourth full season in 2026. The Cork County Board meet on Tuesday night where further light could be shed on the Castlehaven man's future in the position. There has been suggestions that there may be changes in Cleary's management team but there are strong indications he will be at the helm having initially taken over from Keith Ricken on a temporary basis in 2022. Cleary's management team for the past three seasons has comprised coach Kevin Walsh, selectors Micheál Ó Croinín, James Loughrey and Barry Corkery and performance coach Rob Heffernan. For the second year in a row, Cork bowed out in at the All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final stages when they lost to Dublin. They defeated Roscommon to make the knock-out stages having beaten Donegal in the 2024 group phase before exiting the championship at the hands of Louth. Speaking to the Irish Examiner last month, Cork chairman Pat Horgan said they hoped to confirm their senior management team this week. 'We hope to be in a position by August 5, at our next county board meeting, to have sorted the senior football. We will be speaking to John and hopefully we will have that sorted by then.' Cork will avoid a third consecutive Munster semi-final meeting against Kerry in 2026 following the provincial council's decision on Thursday to seed their top two league finishers in 2024 in separate semi-finals. Horgan has placed a strong emphasis on Cork returning to Division 1. This year, they were one win short of making the top two in Division 2. They had four home games and could have the same again in 2026 as it is the start of a new two-year cycle. Like Cleary, Pat Ryan's initial three-year term as senior hurling manager has concluded but there are hopes he too will agree to remain at the helm. Despite a successive All-Ireland final defeat, Cork claimed this year's Division 1 and Munster honours. Meanwhile, Davy Fitzgerald is set to remain on for a second season in charge of Antrim. The Saffrons retained their Division 1B status in 2025 but were relegated from the Leinster championship and will contest the Joe McDonagh Cup. It is also anticipated in Galway that Pádraic Joyce will stay in charge for a seventh season. The two-time All-Ireland SFC winner's recent three-year stint concluded with the All-Ireland quarter-final loss to Meath.

Limerick's Colin Ryan regains All-Ireland Poc Fada title
Limerick's Colin Ryan hailed a sweet win after regaining the M. Donnelly All-Ireland Poc Fada title after three seasons of near misses. The 2021 winner braved high winds - which rendered almost half of the traditional 5km course unplayable - to make off with the silverware having finished second in each of the last three seasons. Two of the four sections on the Annaverna Mountain course were bypassed as a result of gale force gusting winds. But 2018 All-Ireland SHC medallist Ryan, who also lined out in the 2017 All-Ireland U-21 final win with Limerick, held his nerve for a sweet win. He shoved Offaly star Cillian Kiely into second place, defeating the 2018 and 2019 winner by just 13 metres overall. Colin Ryan of Limerick with his son Fionn. Pic: Piaras Ó Mídheach/Sportsfile Kerry man and Kilkenny hurler Fionan Mackessy, chasing a three-in-a-row of titles after his 2023 and 2024 wins, could only finish third in County Louth. Ryan's win was all the more impressive as he played at centre-back for his club Pallasgreen in the Limerick IHC on Sunday afternoon. Asked where the win ranks in his career achievements, Ryan said it's close to the top. "It's right up there for me," he said. "You're on your own, compared to playing with the club or in a team. So it's that bit tougher mentally. You're striking by yourself and there's no-one to help you with that strike, or to dig you out of a hole. "So I put this win right up there in my career. The 2021 win was special but I'd say this was even more special having come second the last three years. "To get over the line was great because you'd wonder at times would it happen again." It was Ryan's first win with his young son, Fionn. His partner, Grace, along with family members and friends, were on hand for support. Ryan completed the course in 25 pucks, the same as Kiely and Mackessy. But the 60 metres he added on from the ball going beyond the first turning point, and the finish line, won it for him. Powerhouse Kiely could only add on 47 metres and Kerry native Mackessy 35 metres. Ryan's last puck helpfully hit a rock after crossing the finish line and bounced on several metres, a stroke of good fortune. "Every bit counts when it comes down to metres," said Ryan. "I knew coming up for my last shot, we'd heard that Cillian was going well so we knew that if we hit a good one, we could win it. Thankfully I hit a rock! It took a nice little bounce and, look, it's a game of inches. It was great to get that bit of luck." Cillian Kiely of Offaly competing in the Senior Hurling competition during the M. Donnelly GAA Poc Fada All-Ireland Finals at Annaverna Mountain in the Cooley Peninsula, Ravensdale, Louth. Photo by Piaras Ó Mídheach/Sportsfile Tipperary great and 2025 All-Ireland U-20 winning manager Brendan Cummins came up short in his bid for a record 10th title, finishing seventh. But there was a huge ovation for Cork's Molly Lynch who completed a five-in-a-row of senior camogie wins. The goalkeeper required just 27 pucks, four ahead of the next competitor, to complete what was a full camogie course. Former champion Killian Phelan of Kilkenny won the Paul Ward Cup, awarded for the longest single puck on the day. Westmeath's Conor Raleigh won the U-16 boys title, narrowly edging out Galway's Oran Stratford while Offaly's Siofra Ginty was the outstanding U-16 camogie participant, taking the title with two pucks to spare.

Dublin homecoming put on ice as change sees celebrations moved to Tuesday
Dublin City Council have announced that the Dublin Ladies' All-Ireland homecoming has been moved from Monday to Tuesday due to windy weather. "Due to Monday's strong winds the homecoming has been moved to the Tuesday rather than the day after the final which would be traditionally done," reads a statement from the DCC. "Dublin City Council have organised the homecoming for 6pm on Tuesday in Smithfield Square." Dublin won their seventh All-Ireland ladies title in front of a crowd of more than 48,000 people at Croke Park on Sunday, beating their old rivals Meath and avenging the infamous 2021 defeat that saw the Dubs' drive for five stopped in dramatic fashion. There was to be no repeat of that at Croke Park this time however, as the girls in blue ran riot and cruised a comfortable win. Dublin's win was poignant for a number of reasons, mainly as it represented the final day in the careers of some of the counties best ever footballers. Hannah Tyrrell was already queen of The Hill long before Sunday's final, but signed off on a fabulous career with a five-point haul to end a sporting career that saw her win two All-Irelands, an FAI Cup and a Six Nations title. Turning 35 next week, Tyrrell told Marty Morrissey after the game, "How lucky am I? I've been lucky enough to be from Dublin, to get to play for Dublin, finish my career at Croke Park, and go out on a high. I'm privileged. "I'm privileged to be from this wonderful county and represent all these people. I'm looking forward to what's ahead." Also exiting the stage is Nicole Owens, who bounced back from ACL injuries to win five All-Irelands for the Dubs. "The big thing for me today was to try and come in and enjoy it as much as possible," she told RTE. "And I did. I enjoyed the parade, I enjoyed everything around it."
