Galway v Monaghan LIVE stream information, score updates, throw ...
It is all to play for as Galway meet Monaghan in their All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final today as we approach the business end of the season.
It has been a rollercoaster year for both sides but Galway will be firm favourites going into today's game.
Padraic Joyce's side won the Connacht title this year after an epic encounter with Mayo and looked on course to top their round-robin groun. But a late collapse against Armagh saw them drop to second place and into the preliminary quarter-finals.
Monaghan needed a big win against Meath last weekend to progress but have had a poor 2024 as a whole as they lost their Division One status.
Today's game throws in at 4 pm and takes place at Pearse Stadium in Salthill. The match is available to watch exclusively on GAAGO.
Galway team to face Monaghan: C Gleeson; J McGrath, S Fitzgerald, J Glynn; D McHugh, L Silke, S Mulkerrin; P Conroy, S Kelly; M Tierney, J Maher, C Darcy; R Finnerty, S Walsh, C McDaid.
Monaghan team to face Galway: R Beggan; R Wylie, K Lavelle, J Irwin; R McAnespie, R O'Toole, C McCarthy; G Mohan, B McBennett; S O'Hanlon, M Bannigan, M Hamill; A Woods, J McCarron, C McManus.

It wasn't pretty but Galway are through to the quarter-finals while Monaghan are sent packing and thus bringing an end to their 2024 Championship.
Conor McManus scores a couple late frees and that is likely his last game for his county and what a servant he has been for Monaghan. One of the great forwards of this generation.
