MONDAY’S ALL-IRELAND CHAMPIONSH­IP FIXTURES

-

TG4 ALL IRELAND SENIOR QUARTER FINAL 1 – ET if necessary Cork v Westmeath, Gaelic Grounds, Limerick (4.45) — live on TG4 CORK, the 11-time champions, have their sights set on glory once again and are motoring along quite nicely under the radar.

Cork manager Ephie Fitzgerald has opted for just one change to the starting team that accounted for Armagh last weekend.

Chloe Collins replaced Aisling Kelleher at half-time and Collins is handed a start ahead of Kelleher on this occasion.

Westmeath suffered a big defeat to Galway last time out but a victory over Waterford in round one ensured that the Midlanders would contest a quarter-final.

Stephen Maxwell’s charges will need a huge improvemen­t to compete with Cork, as they’ve suffered big losses to provincial winners Galway and Dublin in this Championsh­ip, while they’re now facing up to the Munster standard-bearers.

Maxwell will encourage his players to have a go and with the shackles off, Cork will need to deliver a performanc­e to advance.

CORK: M O’Brien; C Collins, R Phelan, M Duggan; M O’Callaghan, S Kelly, E Spillane; A Hutchings, H Looney; C O’Sullivan, L Coppinger, E Scally; Á O’Sullivan, D O’Sullivan, O Finn.
