LIVE BLOG: Allianz League Football Round One

If Saturday night confirmed one thing, it's that Conor McManus is a good player

Donnchadh Walsh kicks Kerry's first score of 2017. In the first four minutes, he's already run approximately 15km. Approximately.

Mickey Harte's men wasting no time rattling through the opening exchanges of the league campaign. The poor Rossies feeling the full brunt force of what we will be labelling 'the team to beat Dublin' in about one hour's time

They are f**king gorgeous

We're underway in Breffni Park about 18 minutes too late

Seanie Johnston only needed 20 seconds!

Kevin McManamon has them back level

Some atmosphere in Cavan. You'd nearly think Dublin playing outside of Croke Park was a good idea

Penalty for Donegal!

They might've lost about 19 players in the winter but Martin O'Reilly is still Martin O'Reilly and he wins the penalty

Michael Murphy obviously puts it away

Dublin are rattled - THEY ARE RATTLED.
Seanie Johnston is having a party

The Clare midfielder lined out for Ballyea in the All-Ireland senior hurling club championship semi-final down in Tipperary. He helped them to the decider... now he's in Derry playing a league match for his county's footballers

The Lilywhites meanwhile are running riot in Division 2

Paul Geaney with the goal and he's on fire for the Kingdom

He's no Seanie Johnston though

Colm Parkinson actually had doubts over Dublin's league credentials on the SportsJOE podcast...

So Dublin are line up as follows for their opening clash

Cluxton

Fitzsimons, McMahon, Scully

McCarthy, Small, Lowndes

Fenton, MDMA

McCaffrey, Kilkenny, Mannion

Rock, McManamon, Jason Whelan

Another goal for Paul Geaney!

A goal from Ben McCormack and two goals from Niall Kelly have the Lilywhites absolutely flying.

Some people said that they'd be relegated...

Clare determined to prove last year was no flash in the pan

Two from Rock, a beauty from Jack McCaffrey and one from Niall Scully have pushed the league champs clear in Breffni Park

Five minutes to go in most games

Tyrone 0-18 Roscommon 1-9

Kerry 2-17 Donegal 1-13

Cavan 0-10 Dublin 0-15

Too. Many. Scores.

The death of defensive football

Full time.

Wow.

Full time!!

Kerry didn't score for the last 15 minutes of the second half and Donegal kicked six without reply to take the gloss off the scoreline
