TEAM NEWS: Dublin Ladies panel named For Cork All-Ireland Q- Final Clash

Saturday July 5th | 13:15pm

Dublin vs Cork (Live TG4)

Dublin management have made three changes to their starting team from that which began against Leitrim for this Saturday’s huge championship encounter versus a resurgent Cork side who have shown great spirit lately under new manager, Joe Carroll.

Coming into the Dublin starting line-up are Martha Byrne, Niamh Donlon and Nicole Owens. Making way for the trio are Hannah Leahy, Aoife Curran and Chloe Darby.

Ulster official Brendan Rice from Down who took charge of the 2016 TG4 Senior All Ireland final between both Counties will referee this Saturday’s eagerly awaited contest.

The two Counties last clashed in championship fare on the 29th of July 2023 in the All-Ireland semi-final. The Dubs on that date overcame the Rebels on a score line of 2-19 to 0-13 to set up a final appearance with Kerry.

Dublin would go on to collect the Brendan Martin cup some two weeks later with a splendid team performance versus the Kingdom.

At stake this Saturday is a place in the All-Ireland semi-final on July 19th next versus the winner of the Galway and Waterford quarter final encounter.
