Waterford are looking to bounce back when they welcome Donegal to Walsh Park for today's all-important championship clash.
Donegal make the trip south knowing that avoiding defeat will see them through to the last eight, while Waterford must win after losing out heavily to Kerry last weekend but they’ll take motivation from a first appearance at Walsh Park in 21 years.
There’s a sense of history in the air for the Déise but they’ll need rapid improvement after falling heavily to the Kingdom in Killarney. Donegal, in contrast, claimed a draw against the 2022 and 2023 All-Ireland finalists in their first group game, on the back of what was an encouraging display.
The winners of this game will finish second in Group 2 – and will be faced with a quarter-final away from home.
Waterford boss Pat Sullivan has handed a vote of confidence to the starting 15 that lined out against Kerry, as Donegal make just one change, with Jenny McGettigan coming in at midfield for Niamh Carr.
TG4 stages four Round 3 Ladies games featuring Waterford, Donegal, Galway, Laois, Kildare, Dublin, Meath and Tipperary. Throw-in for Waterford and Donegal is 1pm.
