Matthew Tierney has said that only Galway’s A-game will do in Sunday’s showdown with Mayo.
It’s the biggest game of 2023 so far as two of the Championship heavyweights face off at Pearse Stadium - with no safety net for the winners at the preliminary quarter-final stage.
Tierney didn’t follow Monday morning’s draw but felt there was almost an inevitability to the Connacht rivals being paired with each other after both slipped up in their final group games on Sunday.
