LGFA Division 1: Waterford Ladies host Mayo this weekend with both sides seeking first win

The Waterford ladies footballers will host Mayo in Round 3 of the Lidl NFL Division 1 on Sunday in Dungarvan.

Waterford recovered from an opening-day loss against Kerry to draw with Cork last weekend and register their first point to the league table.

It’s a game the Déise could have won, too, and manager Pat Sullivan will be anxious to build on that result against a Mayo side looking to get off the mark.  

Mayo and Donegal are the only two sides in Division 1 without a point to date and the green and red will be eager to rectify that against Waterford, having shown flashes of good form against Kerry last weekend, albeit in defeat.  

Another win for Waterford would go a long way towards preserving their Division 1 status in what’s a fiercely-contested Division following the return of the eight-team group.  

Date: Sunday, February 5

Time: 2pm

Venue: Dungarvan
