Two changes to Mayo team for league semi-final

The Mayo team for the Lidl Ladies NFL Division 1 semi-final against Meath tomorrow shows two changes in personnel from that which started against Donegal last weekend.

Goalkeeper Aisling Tarpey comes into the side for Laura Brennan, while Éilis Ronayne replaces Saoirse Lally at corner back.

Meath manager Eamonn Murray has made four changes to the team that lost out to Dublin by just a point in a thrilling Páirc Tailteann clash.

Katie Newe, Orlagh Lally, Megan Thynne and Emma Duggan come into the team in place of Ailbhe Leahy, Kelsey Nesbitt, Orla Byrne and Ciara Smyth.

Mayo, under mangager Michael Moyles, have been motoring along quite nicely this year and claimed three wins from three in the group stages to top Division 1A, and this semi-final against reigning All-Ireland champions Meath should give the team a real indication of exactly where they stand with the championship fast approaching.

Mayo lost to Dublin in the 2021 semi-final and will hope to go one better here, while Meath go in search of a first Division 1 final slot since 2006.

The Mayo-Meath clash at 3 p.m. is live on TG4 tomorrow (Saturday) as part of a Lidl Ladies NFL Division 1 semi-final double-header at St. Tiernach’s Park, Clones. The first games sees Dublin take on Donegal at 1 p.m.
