Jackies make one change for final duel with Cork

Thu, 22nd September 2016

Gregory McGonigle and his management team have released their starting 15 for this Sunday’s TG4 Ladies SFC All-Ireland final against Cork in Croke Park (4.0).

There is just one change from the team that lined out in the semi-final against Mayo.

Sorcha Furlong is listed amongst the substitutes as Nicole Owens is named to start at centre-forward with Molly Lamb relocating to midfield to partner Kilmacud Crokes club mate, Lauren Magee.

Dublin is in the formidable position of going into Sunday’s eagerly awaited clash with Cork having a wealth of experience on their bench a factor which could have a huge impact on Sunday's result.

Apart from the aforementioned Furlong, Dublin boss McGonigle has seasoned footballers in the likes of Fiona Hudson, Muireann Ní Scanaill, Siobhan Woods, Lucy Collins and Olivia Leonard to name but a few to call upon should or when the moment arises.

Sunday’s game has all the makings of another tight close encounter with a number of pundits not ruling out the possibility of a replay.

Brendan Rice from County Down will get proceedings underway in Croke Park at 4pm.

Tickets are available to purchase on line from tickets.ie and will be available on match day from ticket outlets located at Gills Corner and on the Jones Road
