The match starts at 4pm and there's live coverage here on Saturday Sport on Shannonside FM.

Midlands-Northwest MEP Luke 'Ming' Flanagan, from Castlerea, is one of those going to the match today.

He said: "The last win we had was in the All-Ireland semi-final in 1980, coincidentally against Armagh.

"I wasn't at that - there wasn't room in the car.

"But my older brothers and my father and half the neighbours were in the car on the way to the match that day.

"I thought we might break our duck against Clare a couple of years ago, when I thought we would get our first win in years.

"Today hopefully will be the day. It's great to be competitive and great to have a real chance.

"The team can score a lot of points on a good day, and hopefully today will be a good day."
