Waterford ladies footballers taken on All Ireland champions in Baltinglass this afternoon

Waterford ladies footballers taken on All Ireland champions in Baltinglass this afternoon

Last year’s TG4 All-Ireland Senior Champions Dublin are Waterford's opponents this afternoon, as the ladies meet in Baltinglass in Group 3 at 2pm.

Waterford haven’t played a competitive fixture since concluding their Lidl National League campaign against Cork on June 6 – and there are two changes to the side that started on that occasion.

Róisín Tobin and Bríd McMaugh are named in the starting line-up, as Caoimhe McGrath and Kate McGrath drop out of the team.

Dublin make five changes in personnel to the side that accounted for Tyrone in Round 1.
