Westmeath facing Royal challenge

Meath will be in buoyant mood as they get set to face Westmeath.

Not for the first time in recent times, Emma Duggan's second half goal proved crucial as Meath defeated Dublin by 1-8 to 0-10 last Saturday.

Visiting Parnell Park was surely a daunting task, but the reigning All-Ireland champions embraced it, with Vikki Wall - pictured below - , Aoibhín Cleary and Mary Kate Lynch particularly impressive.

This weekend, they are back on their own home ground, and they face a Westmeath team that need to put in an exceptional performance.

In captain Ciara Blundell and Sarah Dillon, Westmeath have excellent attack-minded players, contrary to what their opening round defeat to Dublin might suggest.

Eamonn Murray makes five changes to the team that defeated Dublin last weekend. In defence, Áine Sheridan and Katie Newe come in to the full back line in place of captain Shauna Ennis and Mary Kate Lynch.
