PREVIEW: Waterford v Tipperary (Munster Senior Ladies Football Championship)

Waterford v Tipperary

Dungarvan GAA, Sunday May 7

Throw-in: 2pm

With Cork and Kerry meeting at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, this is a chance for Waterford and Tipperary to make up ground and ignite a drive for a semi-final slot.   

Tipperary had a 1-12 haul from Aishling Moloney but that still wasn’t enough to get past Cork in Cahir last Saturday.  

Cork won by three points, as Waterford slipped to a six-point defeat against Kerry, with the concession of goals in stoppage time at the end of both halves hurting the Déise.  

Tipperary have named an unchanged team for the trip to Dungarvan, as Waterford call up Caragh McCarthy and captain Karen McGrath for Catherine Hynes and Katie Murray.  

Megan Dunford is named to start at corner back, despite going off injured early against Kerry.  

Kellyann Hogan was brilliant for Waterford against Kerry, scoring five points, and the hosts will look for more from the midfield ace.  

Waterford: E O’Brien; C Murray, M Dunford, A Murray; E Power, E Murray, Kate McGrath; K Hogan, A Waring; A O’Neill, A Fitzgerald, C McCarthy; Karen McGrath (capt.), B McMaugh, L McGregor.  

Tipperary: L Fitzpatrick; C O’Dwyer, M Curley (capt.), E Cronin; S English, L Spillane, N Towey; A.R. Kennedy, L Morrissey; E Morrissey, M Creedon, A Delaney; A Fennessy, A Moloney, A McGuigan.
