Finnegan injury concern for Jackies

Sinead Finnegan, Dublin’s centre-back,is a major injury concern for Dublin’s ladies footballers ahead of this Saturday’s All-Ireland championship quarter-final clash with the Kingdom in Birr.

Finnegan, who has been in tremendous form for Dublin this season picked up a hamstring injury in a recent challenge game and is struggling to regain her fitness.

Dublin boss Gregory McGonigle, will await the result of a late fitness test on the Fingallians star which is due to take place tomorrow evening, before he officially announces his starting line-up for Saturday’s all important clash with Kerry.

However there is good news on the injury front for Dublin, as captain Sinead Goldrick who suffered a knee ligament injury prior to the commencement of the Leinster championship is now back to full fitness.

Goldrick was introduced as a second half substitute during Dublin’s Leinster final win over Laois back in July. But having the two times All Star available for the full 60 minutes will be seen as a major boost for the Dubs as they endeavour to book their place in the semi-final for the first time since 2010.
