The lads at Newstalk, who have the radio rights to this one on Sunday, have been bigging it up as the Connacht Clasico. The rivalry is age-old and despite the fact that both have slipped a few notches in recent years - Galway were dismal during the League and Mayo were also hovering around the nether regions of Division 1 in the spring – the temperatures will definitely rise at McHale Park. Defending champions Roscommon await in the final.
