Dubs Mick wholesale changes
DUBLIN boss Mick Bohan has rung the changes as the champions prepare for tomorrow’s Lidl Ladies Football League Division 1 semi-final clash with Cork at Nowlan Park (2pm).
Bohan has made eight changes in personnel to the team that lost out to the Rebelettes in the final round of group fixtures.
All-star goalkeeper Ciara Trant replaces Rachel Fleming while there are also starts for Martha Byrne, Rachel Ruddy and Niamh Collins in defence.
Lauren Magee comes in at midfield while Lyndsey Davey, Footballer of the Year and captain Sinéad Aherne and Nicole Owens are listed in attack.
Cork, meanwhile, have also made a switch between the sticks, with Martina O’brien replacing Lisa Crowley.
There’s a further change in the team and it’s in attack, where Orla Finn slots in ahead of Rhona Ní Bhuachalla.
There’s lots of talent and firepower on the Cork bench, with captain Doireann O’sullivan and Eimear Scally to call upon.
There’s also a welcome return to the Cork bench for Saoirse Noonan, who lit up the 2018 Championship in her debut season, after a serious knee injury.
In total, there are 13 survivors from the 2018 TG4 All-ireland Final meeting between the sides in the Dublin team.
The Ladies Gaelic Football Association has confirmed that both of the Division 1 semi-finals will be live on their Facebook page.
Donegal and Galway lock horns at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park in Longford on Saturday (2.15pm), also a repeat of the Round 7 tie.
