Aisling McGing U21 Championship

Sunday May 24th, 2pm

Dublin v Meath

Venue: St Peters GAA Club, Dunboyne

 

Dublin Manager Gregory McGonigle has announced his U21 starting fifteen for Sundays opening round of the Aisling McGing championship versus Meath.

 

Defending champions Dublin have named a strong line -up which includes 2014 All Star nominees Leah Caffrey and Carla Rowe along with senior regulars Ciara Trant, Olwen Carey and Sarah McCaffrey.

 

Muireann Ni Scanaill, Katie Murray, Niamh Rickard and Eabha Rutledge all got a taste of senior football earlier this year when they clocked up some game time for the senior squad during the course of the NFL.

 

The blues starting fifteen possess no fewer than ten players who have U21 All Ireland medals in their back pockets following Dublin’s 6-10 to 1-08 victory over Meath in the 2014 final.  U21 newbies Aoife Curran, Muireann Ni Scanaill, Katie Murray and Eabha Rutledge were all members of the 2014 minor squad while right half forward Niamh Ryan played minor football with the Dubs in 2013.

 

Additional U21 fixtures taking place this weekend sees Cork take on Galway in the other U21 A fixture while in the newly formed B competition Cavan play Monaghan (Saturday), Mayo play Clare and Tyrone take on Donegal.
