James Horan's really excited by the Armagh v Galway fixture

There are a bumper set of qualifier fixtures in the All-Ireland football championship this weekend and Galway's clash up in Armagh caught the eye of former Mayo boss James Horan.

Speaking on Off The Ball, he was definitely excited about Sunday's match. 

"I think this is going to be a cracking game. Up in Armagh, it's going to be a real challenge for Galway," he said.

"This [Galway] team have very good players. They've dangerous guys up front that can score heavy and are free moving. When Galway played Mayo, when the pressure was on, some of their big guys around the middle didn't give them the momentum that they needed and Mayo powered home and won pretty comfortably. That's where I see Armagh maybe pulling ahead in this one with the strength and physicality that Armagh have around the middle. It might be a little bit too much for Galway. But you write off Galway at your peril."
