Waterford v Dublin

Fraher Field, Dungarvan – Live onStreamsport.ie

Waterford produced a sensational performance against Cork last time out to nail their first points of the season.

The Déise ran out very comfortable winners against Cork away from home and will now look to build on that performance when they welcome Dublin to Dungarvan.

The Sky Blues came from behind to beat Galway last time out and are not entirely out of the running for a Final place.

They’ll need another win here to stay in the hunt while Waterford could also do with the points to boost their chances of avoiding the drop.

The home side are unchanged following the Cork win, as Dublin make five changes in personnel to their starting team.

All Star goalkeeper Abby Shiels returns, along with Ashling Nyhan, Niamh Donlon, Aoife Kane and Ellen Gribben.

Rachel Fleming, Martha Byrne, Hannah Hegarty, Chloe Darby and Jodi Egan drop out of the team for the visit to the Déise, with Jessica Tobin a notable addition to the subs bench and hopeful of making a return following a serious knee injury sustained in April 2023.

Hannah McGinnis is also listed among the Dublin subs, and she’s a sister of Killian McGinnis, who has featured recently for Dessie Farrell’s Dublin men’s team.
