Dubs and Cork ring changes
LAST year’s TG4 All-ireland finalists Dublin and Cork could wrap up quarter-final slots today – and both managers have shuffled their packs ahead of fixtures with Waterford and Tipperary respectively.
Dublin make five changes to the side that accounted for Tyrone in round one as they prepare to take on the Deise in Baltinglass (2pm).
Niamh Collins, Orlagh Nolan, Siobhan Mcgrath, Lyndsey Davey and Carla Rowe are all drafted into the starting line-up.
Waterford haven’t played a competitive fixture since concluding their Lidl National League campaign against Cork on June 6 – and there are two changes to the side that started on that occasion.
Roisin Tobin and Brid Mcmaugh are named in the starting line-up.
Cork, meanwhile, have made four changes to the side that beat Meath as they aim to secure top spot in Group Two.
The Rebelettes make the trip to Sean Treacy Park for a 2pm start against hosts Tipperary, who were relegated from Division 1 of the Lidl National League.
Eimear Meaney, Clare O’shea, Aine O’sullivan and Orlagh Farmer are named in the Cork starting line-up.
Tipperary manager Declan Carr, the Premier County’s 1991 All-ireland SHC winning captain, has made three changes to the side that started in the unsuccessful relegation play-off against Westmeath in the Lidl National League.
Laura Nagle, Laura Dillon and Niamh Hayes come into the line-up.
