Kildare were disappointed in 2015 when they fell short against Waterford in a match in which the Lilywhites felt they didn’t do themselves justice. They show only one change from the team that required extra time to defeat Sligo and secure their place in the Semi Final. Michaela Nolan comes into the side at wingback to replace Rachel Reidy.

TG4 Senior All Ireland Final

 

Dublin v Cork, Croke Park (4:00pm)

 

Dublin will be hoping to win their second ever TG4 All Ireland title and their first since 2010. This is their third year in a row playing Cork in the decider for the Sky Blues and they hope that this team will be the one to make it third time lucky. The Dublin team shows one change from the one that defeated Mayo in dramatic fashion as Sinead Aherne converted a last second free to clinch victory. Molly Lamb comes into the side from the start to join her Kilmacud Crokes team mate Lauren Magee in the middle of the field with Sorcha Furlong making way.

Cork will hope to continue their magnificent unbeaten record in TG4 All Ireland Finals when they take to the field on Sunday. They have won 10 of the last 11 TG4 Senior All Ireland Finals since contesting their first in 2005. Of those 10 TG4 All Ireland titles Bríd Stack, Deirdre O’Reilly, Briege Corkery and Rena Buckley will continue their remarkable record of starting every one of those wins and they have all played every minute of those previous 10 victories. Cork only make one change to this very settled team as Áine O’Sullivan comes into the side at corner forward  where Libby Coppinger is the one to make way.
