Tipperary ladies footballers boosted by Aishling Moloney's long-awaited return
Westmeath provide the opposition in opening round of national league
The return of Aishling Moloney following long-term injury is a massive fillip to Tipperary as they prepare to welcome Westmeath to the Fethard Town Park 3G pitch at 2pm on Sunday in the opening round of division two of the Lidl Ladies National Football League.
It’s not too long ago that these counties were meeting in division one, in a 2021 relegation play-off, and now both counties are battling to get back into the top flight.
Tipp went down in 2021 before Westmeath were consigned to division two by Waterford in a play-off last year.
Westmeath also lost their senior championship status last year against Cavan but the Lake County now have the space to rebuild and look ahead to a new era.
