01 DUBLIN MANAGER: Mick Bohan 2019 FINISH: All Ireland Champions PROSPECTS: Four-in-a-row is the aim for the Sky Blues, who are in Group 3 with Donegal and Waterford. They'll fancy their chances of advancing to the last four at the very least and many will feel that the team that beats them, if any, will lift Brendan Martin. Ranked as favourites to lift the coveted silverware again. 02 MAYO MANAGER: Peter Leahy 2019 FINISH: All Ireland Semi Finalists PROSPECTS: A late Róisín Leonard free denied Mayo late in last year's semi- final, and sent Galway through to the decider. Mayo are an interesting project under Peter Leahy, and the team continues to evolve. Ulster sides Armagh and Tyrone await in the group stages – and they're not straightforward assignments for the Westerners. 03 GALWAY MANAGER: Tim Rabbitt 2019 FINISH: All Ireland Runners Up PROSPECTS: Galway were sitting pretty at the head of affairs in Division 1 of the Lidl National League prior to shut-down – and they'll be a leading championship contender. Galway football is in an extremely good place and it seems only a matter of time before recent underage success translates into senior glory. Monaghan and Tipperary will provide real tests in the group stages, however. SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW 04 CORK MANAGER: Ephie Fitzgerald 2019 FINISH: All Ireland Semi Finalists PROSPECTS: 11-time TG4 All-Ireland Senior Champions Cork haven't lifted the Brendan Martin Cup since 2016 – a relative famine by their high standards. Dublin have ruled the roost since then and Cork didn't get to a necessary pitch to compete in the 2019 All-Ireland semi-final. But this is a Cork team that will have benefited from that experience – and they can't be discounted.
