Croke Park, Dublin, Ireland
The big day for Gaelic Football! Dublin will look to add to their haul of medals and will be there or there abouts on the day, but who else could make the cut and make a splash on the big day? Could it be Derry, the reigning League champs, vanquishers of the Dubs in an epic final? Maybe the Kingdom of Kerry could reawaken their hunger and take on the mantle of champions again? Who knows, maybe the tribes of Galway could sneak in there! Either way, it's sure to be some battle to lift the Sam Maguire Cup!
