Galway corner-forward Rob Finnerty says his father Anthony, the former Mayo player, will be shouting for the Tribesmen on Sunday when the two old rivals clash in a vital Allianz League encounter at Tuam Stadium.

Anthony Finnerty played in the 1989 and 1996 All-Ireland finals during a decade of service for Mayo and the green and red flag regularly hangs outside Ward's pub and hotel which he operates in Salthill, but son Rob is in no doubt who he will be supporting on Sunday.
