Last 5 years you have won 3, drawn 1 and lost one.
In the Round Robin overall its you have won 4, drawn 2 lost 1.
So you have been better than us in recent years. But in the last 5 years, probably the most relevant stat, Dublin have won 4 and drawn once against us.
So they have the better record than you do.
And if you want to go head to head, its won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2. So exactly even.

Accentuate the positive! Galway were the last team from the Leinster championship to win an All Ireland and came within a whisker of a draw with Limerick the following year. :)

I know, they're not always right a lot of the time and some outlets have their bias, however listening to the GAA on the build-up to Saturday evening it's almost as if they've written us off.

Yes Dublin are in good form and always have the players to trouble us and of course have already beaten us this season along with the fact of their Kilkenny game this season and the game last year against Limerick being massive results.

However they seem to think that over the past 2 or 3 weeks that Galway could only have stayed the same or gotten worse.

I don't see it myself and probably shouldn't pay too much attention, but are we ever going to be taken serious as a contender?

Shouldve won in 2018. Be nice to see yourselves or one of the 2 Leinster counties win it now, but its a huge ask.....
