Galway aim for back-to-back titles when they tackle, Mayo 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.
