Cavan and Westmeath lock horns at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park on Sunday in a battle to avoid relegation.
The winners will play senior championship football again in 2023, with the losers heading to the Intermediate ranks.
Cavan lost all three of their group fixtures against Dublin, Mayo and Tipperary to finish at the bottom of Group A. While defeats to Kerry and Galway saw Westmeath prop up Group C.
Emma Morrissey’s late, late penalty goal was good enough for Tipperary to beat Cavan last weekend and the Breffni ladies must lift their heads quickly for this crunch tie.
Westmeath, meanwhile, were crowned intermediate champions last year and will be anxious to avoid an immediate return to that grade.
Cavan have made two changes in personnel to the team that started against Tipperary. Elaine Walsh coming in between the sticks for Elaine Brady and Áine Reilly replaces Geraldine Sheridan in attack.
There are two changes to the Westmeath team that started against Galway last time out. Aoife Temple replaces Aoife O’Donnell in goal, captain Ciara Blundell comes back into the side as Kiara Giles drops out.
Cavan: E Walsh; K McIntyre, S Lynch, E Longair; S Greene, L Fitzpatrick (c), M Sheridan; N Byrd, A Deneher; N Keenaghan, L McVeety, A Walls; A Cahill, Á Reilly, A Gilsenan.
Westmeath: A Temple; M Fagan, M Scally, A O’Malley; N Nolan, A Alford, F Coyle; V Carr, T Dillon; C Kelly, S Dillon, K Boyce-Jordan; C Blundell (c), K Hegarty, L Power.
