Lidl National League team:

KILDARE v Dublin:

Rachel Fennin; Emma Wheeler, Aine Mernagh, Mia Doherty; Hazel McLoughlin, Ruth Sargent, Laoise Lenehan; Nanci Murphy, Gillian Wheeler; Lisa Shaw, Ciara Wheeler, Aoife Rattigan; Aoife Murnane, Roisin Forde, Allanah Prizeman.

Dublin are the current All-Ireland champions but are hardly recognisable from the side that defeated Meath in that final such is the amount of changes to their panel and indeed level of performance.

The Metropolitans have lost all three games to date, to Kerry, Meath and Waterford. The Lilies have just one point, drawing with Cork, before losing to Armagh and Galway, so a lot at stake for Pat Sullivan's side in a really big game for both counties.
