Former Derry captain Chrissy McKaigue believes his county will go into Saturday's crunch Group Four game against Dublin with "full belief" despite their winless 2025.

Derry, Dublin and Galway (who take on Armagh with the All-Ireland champions having already booked their quarter-final spot) all enter this weekend with a chance of progressing to the last 12 of the All-Ireland series.

The Oak Leafers have struggled throughout the 2025 season and have only been able to muster two draws from their 11 league and championship games to date.

"It's time to win again, there's no question, and it'll be some time to win in terms of igniting their season," McKaigue told BBC Sport NI.

"But it's a group that's used to winning, it's a group that's used to winning with their clubs and they've won their fair share with Derry too

"So I don't think they'll be overly fazed by the streak they've gone through, although it's clearly not desirable. They'll go in this weekend having full belief they're capable of beating Dublin."

So, here we go for a night of drama in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.

Already today, matters in Group Two have been resolved with a huge shock in Tullamore, as Meath stunned Kerry with a 1-22 to 0-16 win to top the group and go straight through to the quarters. What is it with the Royals and huge wins in the midlands this year?

It means Kerry have to content themselves with second in the group and a home preliminary quarter-final, while third place and an away trip next week goes to Cork who held on for a 0-19 to 0-17 win over Roscommon who are now eliminated.

Our attention now moves to Group Four which Armagh have already topped and are straight through to the last eight, but can potentially eliminate Galway, whom they beat in last year's All-Ireland final, should they overcome the Tribesmen in Cavan.

At the same time, we are also taking in events in Newry where Derry take on Dublin with both teams battling to retain their interest in this year's championship, although there is a possibility both could go through with a Galway defeat.

There is so much that can happen and over the next couple of hours and we'll keep you apprised of events from both games, so strap in and get ready for what could be a rollercoaster ride.
