TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship – Group 3 Round 2

Dublin v Waterford; Baltinglass

For a third successive year in the Championship, Dublin and Waterford will meet in the group stages.

Eighteen points separated the sides in 2019, before Waterford cut the gap to just four points last year, a game that was played at Saturday’s venue.

Victory for Dublin would assure them of top spot in this group, and leave Waterford and Tyrone facing a winner-takes-all clash for a quarter-final spot the following weekend.

Waterford come into this one without a game since concluding their Lidl NFL Division 1B campaign.

They won one from there in the League but victory over Tipperary was enough to stave off the threat of relegation.

Dublin make five changes in personnel to the side that accounted for Tyrone in Round 1.

Niamh Collins, Orlagh Nolan, Siobhan McGrath, Lyndsey Davey and Carla Rowe are all drafted into the starting line-up, with Laura McGinley, Hannah Leahy, Lucy Collins, Niamh Hetherton and Siobhan Killeen dropping out.

Dublin (v Waterford): C Trant; N Collins, O Carey, M Byrne; O Nolan, S McGrath, L Caffrey; J Dunne, L Magee; H Tyrrell, L Davey, C Rowe; C O’Connor, N McEvoy, S Aherne.

Waterford (v Dublin): R Landers; M Dunford, L Mulcahy, R Casey; M Wall, K McGrath, A Mullaney; C Fennell, E Murray; R Tobin, M Delahunty, B McMaugh; E Fennell, K Murray, A Wall.
