ALL ROADS LEAD to Dr Hyde Park in Roscommon on Sunday for a mouth-watering TG4 All-Ireland senior football championship quarter-final double-header.
First up it’s an all-Connacht affair with Galway and Mayo going head-to-head for a place in the All-Ireland semi-final (throw-in 3pm, deferred showing on TG4 at 7pm).
The sides last met in the provincial decider with the Tribeswomen coming out on top and since then Stephen Glennon’s charges have gone from strength to strength, topping their group comfortably.
Peter Leahy’s side on the other hand have shown true resilience to recover from the loss of 12 players from the panel, convincingly beating Cavan before coming close against reigning All-Ireland champions Dublin at the same venue the last day.

pair of copa mundials is all one needs.
Can you imagine trying to clean the muck off them after plying on a waterlogged pitch?!
Every parent’s worst nightmare. My wallet feels lighter already!
Time you told your kid the word no!
Ye’d wanna be fairly fast and skillful to get away with wearing them on a cold sunday in wexford
Would go down a storm in the junior b North Tipperary hurling championship! Old bitter full backs would love to see lads wearing these
Nonsense
The Metatarsal will become even more popular so!
Here’s hoping , Suarez will be the first one to try them out :-)
He is the first one actually, against united. As a Liverpool fan I’m dreading it. Imagine vidic going in on one of these things. Break your foot off
No, Suarez is trialling the knitted boot, not this.
With the sock bit I mean
Read the story about Paul Scholes purchasing boots for €30 at JD sports before his comeback at city, says it all!
How do you wash the sock? What happens if you get a hole in it!! Even worse image away matches with a different kit!!! Youd need home amd away boots!!!
Hmmm somebody on the pitch to hurt
What ever happened to good old Puma Kings?
Boots of the future hahahahahahahahahashahahahaahahahahahaahahahagagagagagahha……… Wwwwwwoooooioooooooooooo……..!
So when will the nike team blouse and tu-tu shorts be available?
Bad idea. They will weaken players ankles.
Like boxing shoes only with studs
