SATURDAY

Group 1 – Armagh v Meath, Box-It Athletic Grounds, 2pm

Armagh’s gripping Ulster final victory over Donegal came at a real cost as the Orchard County lost star forward Aimee Mackin to a season-ending knee ligament injury.

How manager Greg McGonigle copes without Mackin will be interesting to note, but her absence is a severe dent to the county’s All-Ireland hopes.

The reigning Division 1 champions are also without Louise Kenny, who also went off injured in the provincial final win.

McGonigle brings in Sarah Quigley and Niamh Reel to replace Kenny and Mackin, as he makes two changes in personnel to his starting line-up.
