Cavan midfielder Thomas Galligan says he can see “a good enough game” between Dublin and Mayo on Saturday if the Connacht champions come with the right intensity.

The Breffni men fell to a 15-point defeat at the hands of the Dubs 10 days ago, having captured their first Ulster SFC title in 23 years by upsetting a fancied Donegal side to advance to the All-Ireland semi-finals.

Speaking to GAA.ie, Galligan said he didn’t see any weaknesses in the All-Ireland champions last Saturday but, in a year like no other, knows that anything can happen at Croke Park this weekend.

“We didn't find any weaknesses the other day anyway so I'm probably the wrong lad to ask about weaknesses,” the Lacken clubman.

“I don't know, it depends. Mayo have showed a different level of intensity this year than from years gone by. I think everyone was waiting for Mayo to mess up this year but it hasn't even looked like they were going to mess up since the start of the Championship.

“You'd be hopeful they can give them a game, but Dublin are a well experienced team. It'll all depend on how Dublin turn up. If Mayo turn up with the intensity they've been playing with all year, it should lead to a good enough game.

“But as far as knowing any weaknesses in Dublin, I wouldn't have a clue, to be honest.

“It'll all depend on decisions, little things that could swing the game either way. This championship has been all over the place. You couldn't really say that this team is going to win or that team is going to win because there have been upsets everywhere.”
