Before a ball was kicked this season, tomorrow's All-Ireland SFC semi-final was flagged as the game that would decide where Sam Maguire would reside for the winter. 

Galway or Derry will have something to say about that but tomorrow's victors will be in a great position to win the big one in a fortnight. Amazingly there are still plenty of question marks over both teams which adds to the sense of intrigue and uncertainty around this All-Ireland semi-final. Sunday is a massive opportunity for previously unproven players at this stage of the championship to make a name and establish themselves as real front line stars for Kerry and Dublin.
