LGFA: Dublin Senior team announced for Sundays NFL clash with Armagh

LIDL NFL Div 1 Rd 5

Sunday March 1st | 14:00pm

Armagh v Dublin

Box IT Athletic Grounds (Live Stream)

Dublin have made two changes to their starting team from that which defeated Kildare last weekend. Ellen Gribben comes back in the first fifteen for Annabelle Timothy while Jodi Egan returns to the full forward line in place of Orla Keighran.

Sunday’s encounter will be a key game for both Dublin and Armagh with each County having registered just one league win apiece to date. A victory for either side will move the winning team a little further away from the dreaded relegation zone.

Armagh and Dublin management teams have both used the opening rounds of the league to unearth new talent and by doing so have handed several players valuable experience of topflight football. However, neither County will want to drop out of division one football.

Laois official, Kevin Phelan will get proceedings under way at 2pm.
