19 April 2019 8 changes for Dublin, 2 for Cork - Lidl NFL Division 1 semi-final team news Share this Article 0 0 0 Shares! 0 Shares! Lidl NFL Division 1 – Semi Final – Result on the day Cork v Dublin, 2pm, Nowlan Park, Kilkenny (N McCormack, Laois) – SUNDAY All eyes will be on Nowlan Park on Sunday when Cork and Dublin go head-to-head for a place in the 2019 Lidl National League Division 1 Final. Dublin’s starting line-up appears to be a statement of intent, with 13 starting survivors from the 2018 TG4 All-Ireland Senior Final meeting between the counties. Cork, in contrast, line out with seven but manager Ephie Fitzgerald could make some late alterations. If he doesn’t, Cork have firepower to come off the bench in the form of captain Doireann O’Sullivan and Eimear Scally, while Saoirse Noonan is also listed among the subs after recovering from a serious knee injury. These sides may well meet again in the white heat of championship but, for now, they’ll be anxious to lay down a marker. Dublin are League champions while Cork, who lost to Mayo in the 2018 semi-final, will hope for a first final appearance since winning five-in-a-row two years ago. This has the makings of a high-quality game of football and it has been rightly afforded the Facebook LIVE treatment https://www.facebook.com/LadiesGaelicFootball/ Cork did strike a psychological blow in the final round of group fixtures when the counties met but this is knock-out football now and the stakes are much higher.
