Curran makes three changes as Donegal ladies travel to Galway

Donegal ladies manager Maxi Curran has made three changes to his team for tomorrow’s Lidl Ladies NFL Division 1 clash against Galway at Corofin.

Following a hard-fought win over Westmeath, goalkeeper Aislin Nee comes in for Aoife McColgan, with Ciara Grant and Shannon McGroddy replacing All Star Treasa Doherty and Sinead McGinty.

Galway’s 100 per cent record was ended by Dublin last time out but the Tribeswomen are still safely through to the semi-finals.

Donegal started the campaign like a steam train, winning their first five fixtures, but their form has dipped in recent rounds

The Tir Chonaill women were well beaten by Cork and got past Westmeath by just four points last time out.

Curran will hope for an upturn in fortunes at the business end of the League campaign, as Donegal look ahead to the semi-finals.

If results go in a particular way, this could be a dress-rehearsal for a League semi-final or final clash between the counties, who were both beaten 2019 TG4 All-Ireland Senior semi-finalists.

Galway also make three switches, with Lisa Murphy in for goalkeeper RĂłisĂ­n NĂ­ Chongaile, while Shauna Molloy and Sarah Conneally replace Barbara Hannon and Lucy Hannon.

Dublin, Cork, Donegal and Galway are already through to the last four – and they are the same semi-finalists from the 2018 TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship.

When the dust settles on Sunday, the top team will play the team who finishes fourth in the semi-finals, while the second placed team will meet the third placed team.

If two teams finish level on points, their final placing in the standings will be determined by the head-to-head result in the group stages, while three or more teams locked together will be sorted out via scoring difference.
