The LGFA Tesco Homegrown National Football League kicks off this weekend with a lot of interesting fixtures in store.
In Division 1, one of the big games of the weekend sees Mayo take on reigning champions Cork at home in Swinford on Sunday at 2pm.
Cork will be hunting for three-in-a-row having won eight of the last ten Division 1 titles, and bagging two-in-a-row in 2014 with a win over Dublin.
Elsewhere, Monaghan will be travelling down to Dublin, Tyrone meets Kerry while newcomers Galway meet Laois.
Dublin will hope to continue their superb form from last year under the guidance of Gregory McGonigle while Kerry, Mayo and Monaghan are all under new management this year.

There should be some cracking games dished up in Division 2 this season as well, with a very competitive league ahead for 2015.
Armagh took home the Ulster title in 2014 and will be hoping for League victory this year. However, they will face stiff competition from last year’s finalists Westmeath.
This weekend’s line-up in Division 2 sees a number of interesting clashes with neighbours Meath and Kildare going head-to-head, Cavan will face off to Clare, while Donegal will take on Armagh and Westmeath will face Down.
In Division 3, Roscommon will hope to make an impact as they come up from Division 4 and take on Leitrim on Sunday. On the same day, Sligo take on Longford, Tipperary travel to Fermanagh while Wexford will be heading down to Waterford.
Pictured at the launch were: Shannon McCrystal, Edel Campbell and Aoibhinn Kiernan.
Meanwhile, in Division 4, Offaly will be hoping to get back on form following a rapid relegation from Division 3 last year, having earned promotion in 2013.
It will be a tough task for them though as Antrim, Derry, Limerick, Louth and Wicklow will all be looking for glory.
Divisions 1, 2 and 3 all kick off this Sunday, February 1st, while Division 4 kicks off on February 8th.
It’s all to play for this year and with some very interesting battles yet to come, it will be interesting to see who takes the glory for 2015.
