Armagh v Dublin
Live on TG4
Mick Bohan has made four changes to his starting fifteen from that which began against Cork last weekend for this Saturdays key and final NFL round fixture with Armagh.
All star goalkeeper, Abby Shiels switches places with Rachael Fleming, Niamh Crowley resumes her defensive duties replacing Hannah McGinnis. Niamh Donlon gets the nod ahead of Kate Murray while Kate Sullivan starts for Kerry Owens.
Fleming, McGinnis, Murray and Owens are all named on the Dublin bench alongside the vastly experienced duo of Sinéad Aherne and Nicole Owens who both had a run out against Cork last weekend.
Dublin head to the Athletic grounds knowing they need two things to go their way this weekend in order to qualify for the division one final on April 7th in Croke Park. Very simply, the Dubs have to defeat Armagh and secondly, they require Galway to beat Kerry on Sunday.
