Katy Herron of Donegal in action against Kate McDaid of Dublin last year
Donegal knew a victory over Meath last Saturday in Navan would confirm a home quarter-final in the TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship.
Maxi Curran's side were 1-10 to 0-12 winners over the Royal County, who are back-to-back All-Ireland champions and now welcome Dublin in the last eight on Sunday week, with the game confirmed for MacCumhaill Park in Ballybofey with a 2pm throw-in, live on TG4.
Donegal and Dublin will play in the quarter-finals for the third year in succession, with Carrick-on-Shannon the venue in each of the last two seasons. In 2021, Dublin were winners on a 2-12 to 2-7 scoreline. Then last year, two goals from Karen Guthrie helped Donegal gain revenge in a 3-7 to 1-7 masterclass.
In 2020, the sides met in the group stages, with the winner effectively taking the semi-final spot. In the season disrupted by the pandemic, it was a quarter-final in all but name in the three-team group that also included Waterford. Dublin won 2-13 to 2-10 with the differential being a freak Sinead Aherne goal, who shot for a point only to see the ball rebound down from the upright and spin into the Donegal net.
