Donegal make one change from their draw with Kerry for their Waterford clash

It’s all to play for in Group 2 of the All-Ireland series as Donegal make one change to their starting XV for their crucial tie away to Waterford this weekend with Jenny McGettigan named in midfield ahead of Niamh Carr. 

Donegal make the trip south to Walsh Park on Sunday knowing that avoiding defeat will see them through to the last eight. 

Waterford must win after losing out heavily to Kerry last weekend but they’ll take motivation from a first appearance at Walsh Park in 21 years. 

There’s a sense of history in the air for the Déise but they’ll need rapid improvement after falling heavily to the Kingdom in Killarney. 

Donegal, in contrast, claimed a draw against the 2022 and 2023 All-Ireland finalists in their first group game, on the back of what was an encouraging display. 

Donegal pegged back Kerry in MacCumhaill Park in Ballybofey as Susanne White held her nerve late on to split the spoils. 

The winners of this game will finish second in Group 2 – and will be faced with a quarter-final away from home.  

Waterford: E O’Brien; C Murray, H Power, K McGrath; A Murray, A McNulty, E Murray; K Hogan, K Murray; C Carroll, A Fitzgerald, M Comerford; E Fitzgerald, L McGregor, M O’Brien. 

Donegal: C Friel; S McLaughlin, A Temple Asokuh, E McGinley; K Dowds, N Boyle, T Hegarty; R Rodgers, J McGettigan; C Keon, N McLaughlin, A Boyle Carr; S White, K Herron, K Long.
