Round 5 (2.00pm) Westmeath v Galway St Loman’s Ref: G Carmody (Roscommon) IF Galway win and Donegal beat Cork, they’ll finish ahead of Donegal provided that Mayo don’t draw with Monaghan to make it a three-way tie.

A win for Cork against Donegal on Saturday would lessen the pressure slightly on the Tribeswome­n.

Victory might not be straightfo­rward against a Westmeath side that ensured survival with victory over Kerry last weekend and with the shackles off, they can go and express themselves here. Mayo v Monaghan Swinford Amenity Park Ref: M Farrelly (Cavan) A HOME win for Mayo will ensure a League semi-final spot for last year’s TG4 All-Ireland senior final runners-up.

The Westerners were awarded three points when Kerry fielded an unregister­ed player and that’s boosted Mayo’s table position considerab­ly.

It means Mayo’s top-four destiny is now in their own hands. Visitors Monaghan staved off the threat of relegation for another season and will hope to finish their League campaign on a high.
