Galway had so many stars against Tyrone at Tuam Stadium on Sunday, but captain Shane Walsh led by example.

The gifted Kilkerrin-Clonberne attacker scored 1-8 and was a key figure as the Tribesmen secured a third win in four matches.

Conor McCarthy clipped 1-3 as Monaghan proved too strong for Mayo at St Tiernach's Park.

Talented Scotstown forward McCarthy is enjoying a productive burst of form for Monaghan.

Gearoid McKiernan nailed five points as Cavan edged out Fermanagh in a vital Division Two tussle on Saturday evening.

One of the most accomplished players in Ulster, McKiernan underlined his value to the Cavan cause as Mickey Graham's outfit maintained their good form.
