With Finbarr Roarty, Ciaran Moore, Peadar Mogan, and Ryan McHugh leading the defense, and Michael Murphy providing leadership, Donegal looks unstoppable. Their semifinal against Monaghan should be a mere formality.

Galway Favorites Against Roscommon in Connacht Suzanne Cup

In the Connacht championship, Galway are strong favorites against Roscommon. Despite the away venue, the Tribesmen are expected to pick up a comfortable victory, backed by their impressive panel depth and the form of players like Shane Walsh and Damien Comer.
