Mayo team for LGFA quarterfinal against Galway announced
Galway and Mayo meet again tomorrow in the TG4 LGFA All-Ireland senior championship quarterfinal.
The game is a repeat of the TG4 Connacht final back in May, which Mayo won at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park, Castlebar.
But Galway now have home advantage, with the All-Ireland quarterfinal to be played in Pearse Stadium, Salthill – and they’ll look to make that count against their neighbours.
Galway beat Cork and Tipperary impressively to secure their home quarterfinal, while Mayo defeated Laois and lost narrowly to Armagh.
The Tribeswomen are unchanged following victory over Tipperary, while Mayo have made two changes to the team that started the Armagh loss.
Sarah Mulvihill and Tara Needham are called into the starting line-up, with Saoirse Delaney and Shauna Howley dropping to the bench.
The Mayo team is full is as follows: L. Brennan; É. Ronayne, C. McManamon, S. Lally; D. Caldwell, C. Needham, K. Sullivan; A. Geraghty, F. McHale; M. Cannon, S. Cafferky, S. Mulvihill; T. Needham, D. Doherty, S. Walsh. Kathryn Sullivan captains the team.
The Galway team lines out as follows: K. Connolly; K. Geraghty, S. Ní Loingsigh, A. Ní Cheallaigh; A. Molloy, N. Ward, S. Brennan; L. Ward, H. Noone; O. Divilly, L. Coen, L. Noone; T. Leonard, A. Davoren, R. Leonard.
The game throws in at 1.30 p.m. tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon. It will be covered live on TG4.
The other senior championship quarterfinals down for decision tomorrow are Armagh v Cork in the Box-It Athletic Grounds and Kerry v Meath in Austin Stack Park, Tralee, in what is a repeat of last year's All-Ireland final.
On Sunday, Dublin make the trip to Ballybofey to tackle Donegal, who knocked them out at this stage last year.
The last four clashes, which will be played at Semple Stadium on Saturday, July 29, will be confirmed following what promise to be four brilliant quarterfinals.
The winners of the Armagh/Cork and Donegal/Dublin games will meet in the semi-finals, while the teams who emerge from the Kerry/Meath and Galway/Mayo ties will play each other in the last four.
Also on Saturday, Laois take on Cavan and Tipperary play Waterford in senior relegation clashes. The winners of both games will preserve senior championship status for 2024, while the losers will play off on Saturday, July 22, with one team to be relegated from the senior ranks.
