Westmeath face Wicklow in championship action

TG4 Intermediate Leinster Ladies Football Championship: Group B

Westmeath breathed a sigh of relief as six unanswered scores at the end of their battle with Offaly last weekend ensured a two-point win (0-15 to 0-13).

Michael Finneran’s troops were pushed all the way by the Faithful and they will undoubtedly have learned from the experience.

They face Wicklow team who were beaten well by Louth last week and the Garden County will want to avoid a similar fate in Round 2.

Finneran has made just one change to last week’s winning team, with Ayesha Roche replacing Melek Fagan at corner back.

Wicklow boss Gavin Wynne also makes just one change, with Helena Dowling replacing Elizabeth Bourke at corner forward.

The game at TEG Cusack Park on Sunday is at 2pm

WESTMEATH: L McCormack; M Dunne, L Power, A Roche; K Boyce Jordan, T Dillon, C Kelly; V Carr, A Ruane; N Nolan, C Blundell (C), R Dillon; M Monaghan, A Jones, A Connolly.

WICKLOW: E Griffin; S Evans, S.J. Winders (C), R Byrne; N Kenny, L Dunne, J Byrne; A Maher, A Gorman; E O’Sullivan, N Cullen, Y Dagge; S Delahunt, M Kealy, H Dowling.
