Waterford will face Galway in the All Ireland ladies football quarter finals at Pearse Park in Longford on Saturday afternoon.

A Croke Park semi final against Mayo or Armagh is the prize for the winner.

Roisin Tobin returned to the Deise line-up this spring after twelve months out with a knee injury. She was thrilled to win the Division 2 League title against Kerry in May.

Forward Michelle Ryan said that they put in a strong team display against Monaghan last month.

Michelle says Galway will be formidable opponents; "Obviously we'll have been doing our homeowkr on them this week, same way they'll be doing it on us and hopefully we'll have learned from that performance last year and identify the areas we need to work and bring the game to them as much as we possibly can".

Throw in is at 2.45.

Hear more from Michelle Ryan and Roisin Tobin on Lar Na Pairce from 6.10 this evening here on WLR with Tomás McCarthy.
