• ”It’s back to the league with the first visit of Salthill Devon to Gortakeegan. In our previous meeting we had a good win in Galway, however in that game they scored as good a goal as we conceded this season and demonstrated with a number of subsequent moves that they would be more than capable of hurting any team.” – Monaghan manager Mick Cooke
• "We'll look to build on last weekend’s performance tonight against Monaghan. We have our work cut out though, as we found out earlier this season, on their night they can be one of the best teams in this division. They are dangerous all over the park and in Phillip Hughes and Karl Bermingham they have a very experienced and potent strike force." – Salthill manager Emlyn Long
