Mayo v Galway: All you need to know ahead of the Connacht Final

It’s all roads to Castlebar for Mayo and Galway fans this weekend, as they lock horns in a bid for provincial glory.

Liam McHale’s charges have endured a far-from-ideal 2025 thus far. However, they still stand an hour of football away from securing silverware, although that will be no mean feat.

When was the last time these sides met?

In truth the League Phase clash between these sides was a bit of a dead rubber, given the fact that both sides had already rubberstamped their place in Sunday’s decider.

However, the fact that Galway were so free-scoring in the absence of last year’s top scorers in the All-Ireland series would be a warning sign.

Mayo’s Sinéad Walsh did notch 0-7, but she’ll need some help from the cavalry for the Green and Red to be in contention.

What do Galway bring to the table?

Last year’s All-Ireland finalists will take some stopping. As mentioned, Róisín Leonard and Alannah Divilly both tore defences to shreds in 2024, and will need some watching.

At the other end, Kate Geraghty and co are as tough as they come, and Mayo will need to have their wits about them to be two steps ahead of the Tribeswomen offensively.
