Galway versus Mayo merits its own special place in the longlist of great sporting rivalries. The crankiest of neighbours often under the same roof. A soft border spanned regularly. For work, for university, for sport.

United and divided. So many with a foot in both camps. Some have even represented both. Within the space of a few years one man shared a dressing room with the likes of Keith Higgins and Michael Meehan. Any guesses?
