Dublin v Offaly
Venue: St Peregrines
Dublin management have made a number of changes to their starting line out for this Sunday’s final group A round robin clash versus Offaly.
Goal keeper Rachel Fleming returns to the side having missed the second round game versus Wexford owing to school commitments. Leona Corr comes in at corner back ahead of club mate Siabh Hannigan. Erica Byrne also returns to the starting line up having also missed the Wexford clash due to adhering to concussion protocols. Byrne is named as number five in place of Muireann O’Gorman. Thomas Davis midfielder Jade Sweeny Knott is handed the number nine jersey with Julia Buckley moving from midfield to centre forward, Rachel Douglas makes way for Buckley. Up front Grace O’Shea comes into the attack for Tara Fitzgibbon while Jennifer Dunne starts on the edge of the square in place of Danielle Lawless.
Reigning champions Dublin have already seen off the challenges from Laois and Wexford in previous rounds with Sunday’s opponents Offaly also registering wins over the O’Moore and Model Counties.
Sunday’s clash will determine who tops group A with the winner playing the runner up in group B in the Leinster semi-final.
