Senior championship Gaelic football games from Kerry and Galway will be shown on TG4 this weekend.
Salthill Knocknacarra made a winning start to their campaign in Galway, defeating 2021 champs Mountbellew Moylough in the first round and they'll be aiming to make it back-to-back victories this weekend against Naomh Anna Leitir Mór.
Managed by their club-man and former Galway captain Finian Hanley, Salthill Knocknacarra are one of the three favourites to win the Frank Fox along with Corofin and Maigh Cuilinn.
It will be a poignant season for the club who were managed by the late John O'Mahony up until last season where they were defeated by Maigh Cuilinn by one point in the county semi-final.
Hanley was a member of O'Mahony's management for the last two seasons bringing a degree of continuity to a set-up where Galway stars Robert Finnerty and John Maher are the key men.
Finian Hanley captained Salthill Knocknacarra to their last Galway SFC crown in 2012. SPORTSFILE.
Galway subs Tomo Culhane, Daniel O'Flaherty and Cathal Sweeney are also in Salthill's ranks indicating the strong spine of their team.
Their Gaeltacht opponents are also coming into the game in good form having recorded a nine point victory over Caherlistrane in the first round.

That game is preceded by the clash of Dr. Crokes and Dingle in the Kerry 'Club' Championship final, not to be confused with the more prestigious county championship proper, which includes the divisional sides.
It's being billed as the clash of Tony Brosnan and Paul Geaney with both players in red hot form coming into the game.
Off the back of one of his best seasons Kerry, Brosnan has maintained that form for his club hitting Rathmore for 1-6, 1-5 from play in the semi-final.
Geaney has also showed his enduring class throughout Dingle's club campaign, scoring 2-7 against Crokes earlier on in the competition before inspiring his club past Kenmare in the semi-final last weekend. Among the other inter-county stars in action will be Tom O'Sullivan, Barry Dan O'Sullivan and Dylan Geaney for Dingle with Gavin White and former Kerry star Micheál Burns in the Crokes' line-up.
That's the first of the two games, throwing in at 2.00.
