Vital game for Déise ladies footballers this afternoon as they face Galway

Waterford ladies footballers face a crunch game in round 2 of the All Ireland series this afternoon as they tackle Connacht champions, Galway in Birr.

Pat Sullivan's charges suffered a heartbreaking one point loss to Westmeath last weekend in Nenagh.

Goalkeeper Kelly Moroney made her championship debut last weekend and manager Pat Sullivan was impressed with her performance.

Galway defeated Mayo last month and Sullivan told WLR Sport that the Connacht champions will pose a stern test.

Throw in is at 4.45, Tomás McCarthy will be keeping an eye on the action for WLR Sport.
