    Sixteen teams, 34 games in a frantic 10 weeks and it all comes down to who lifts the Sam Maguire Cup in late July.

    It is the second year of the football championship's current guise as 16 counties once again jostle for position in the race for All-Ireland success in four groups of four.

    Dublin are the holders but six Ulster counties are in the mix to be crowned All-Ireland SFC champions.

  2. Antrim lead at the breakpublished at 14:39 British Summer Time 18 May

    Antrim 1-11 Galway 1-10

    Well, well, well. Antrim have gone in at the break with a one-point lead and in truth they will be a little disappointed given a high number of wines and shots short. Galway have not looked at all convincing and Antrim have taken over in many respects. This game is here for the taking for Darren Gleeson's men

    Goal - Conal Bohill (Antrim)published at 14:30 British Summer Time 18 May

    Antrim 1-9 Galway 1-8

    Conal Bohill has just found the Galway net and Antrim lead even though Galway hit back with a couple of points. If Antrim were a little more accurate in front of the posts they would have a nice lead but it's just one for now

    Antrim 0-7 Galway 1-5

    A decent rally from Antrim with Keelan Molloy and James McNaughton finding their range to narrow the gap to one. Galway have not been convincing and Antrim are beginning to sense it

    Game on at a sunny Corrigan Park. Antrim were forced into one very late change as Conal Cunning pulled up in the warm-up, so Rian McMullan got the nod to start.
