Sunday May 25, 2025 TG4 Connacht Senior Championship Final Mayo v Galway; Hastings Insurance MacHale Park, Castlebar, 1pm – Live on Spórt TG4 YouTube Galway will aim for back to back titles when they tackle, Mayo, who were winners in 2023, in Sunday’s TG4 Connacht Senior Final. The sides have already met in the round-robin stages, in what was a dead rubber as both sides had already progressed to the final. Galway won comfortably on that occasion by 2-13 to 0-9 and based on form to date in 2025, it’s difficult to see past the Tribeswomen again. Galway were in experimental mode when they met Mayo recently, taking the opportunity to run the rule over a number of players. For the final, they’ve made six changes in personnel, with Sarah Ní Loingsigh, Chellene Trill, Louise Ward, Olivia Divilly, Lynsey Noone and Róisín Leonard named to start. Dropping out of the team are Aoibhinn Eilian, Charlotte Cooney, Aisling Madden, Leanne Coen, Eva Noone and Shauna Hynes. Mayo have made two changes to the team that started last time out, with Ella Brennan and Saoirse Lally replacing Annie Gough and Suzanne Tuohy. The winners of this one will join Donegal and Tipperary in Group 1 of the TG4 All-Ireland Championship, with the provincial runners-up pitted with the Munster champions, Kerry or Waterford, and Cork. Mayo: J Gawalkiewicz; L Wallace, N O’Malley, C Durkan; S El Massry, D Caldwell (capt.), E Brennan; H Reape, C Whyte; A McDonnell, S Lally, C Doherty; E Murray, K Sullivan, S Walsh. Galway: D Gower; B Quinn, S Ní Loingsigh, K Geraghty (capt.); H Noone, N Ward, C Trill; L Ward, S Divilly; O Divilly, K Thompson, A Davoren; L Noone, R Leonard, K Slevin. TG4 Munster Senior Championship Final Kerry v Waterford; Mallow, 2.30pm – Live on Spórt TG4 YouTube Kerry, the reigning TG4 All-Ireland Senior champions, will aim for back-to-back Munster Senior titles when they face Waterford in Mallow on Sunday. The sides met in the round-robin phase of the competition and based on that evidence, there won’t be much to separate them again, as the Kingdom won with just a single point to spare. Kerry made a number of changes to their team for the final round-robin game against Tipperary, with progress to the final already assured. Manager Mark Bourke has shuffled his pack again, making seven changes in personnel. Goalkeeper Mary Ellen Bolger returns to replace Katie Hannan, while there are also starts for Deirdre Kearney, Fay O’Donoghue, Mary O’Connell, Niamh Ní Chonchúir, Caoimhe Evans and in-form forward Danielle O’Leary.

After defeating Cork to book their place in a first Munster Senior Final since 2019, when they lost out to Cork, Waterford have made two changes to their starting line-up. Maeve Ryan comes in for Aoife Murray, and Caragh McCarthy replaces Lia Ní hArta, as the Déise chase a first senior provincial title since 2002.
