Galway v Dublin
Tuam Stadium (Live TG4)

Dublin have made three changes to their starting fifteen from that which began against Armagh back on March 1st last. Experienced defender Leah Caffrey is named at full back in place of Hannah Leahy while Carla Rowe and Jodi Egan return to the Dublin forward line with Michelle Davoren and Annabelle Timothy making way.

Saturdays encounter will be a key game for Dublin as they seek to secure three valuable league points in a bid to ease their relegation worries. Galway on the other hand have no relegation concerns. The Tribeswomen are still very much in contention for a spot in the division one league final as they currently sit in second place on the league table one point adrift of leaders Cork.

Both Counties played out a cracker of contest when they last meet in the TG4 All-Ireland semi-final last July, a new look Dublin team will be aiming to emulate that performance on Saturday. Sligo official, Gus Chapman will get proceedings under way at 5pm.

Tickets for the game can be purchased from www.universe.com those unable to make the trip to Tuam can watch the game live on TG4.
