The Tribesmen had 14 different scorers on the day and Conor Cooney took his championship tally to 1-29 after scoring eight points in the rout over Laois. Galway had 14 different players score in the win, including goalkeeper Eanna Murphy.

Apart from their draw against Wexford in the first round of the championship, Galway have been in fantastic form and their attacking threat has potential to cause Dublin all sorts of trouble.

Dublin are sitting in third place in the Leinster SHC after three wins and one defeat in their four games so far.

The Dubs have beaten Laois, Wexford and Westmeath in their opening fixtures but fell to a heavy defeat at the hands of Kilkenny last weekend. Kilkenny won 3-25 to 0-17 in what turned out to be a reality check for Dublin.

Shefflin wary of Dublin.

Dublin have caused Galway problems in previous games and the Galway boss remains aware of the challenge ahead.

Speaking to the media after the win against Laois, Henry Shefflin said;

“I’m expecting a serious challenge. We played them four months ago - 16th of January and we lost by 19 points.

“I suppose the Galway people know the challenge ahead of us. They know the record the last couple of years hasn’t been great."

A win this weekend will seal Galway's place in the Leinster SHC final, where they will meet Kilkenny or Wexford.
