Liberty Insurance Premier Junior All Ireland Final
Dublin v Westmeath
Sunday 10th Of September
Venue: Croke Park
Throw-In: 12pm
Dublin manager Shane Plowman has named the same starting 15 that faced Kerry in the semi final for tomorrow’s Liberty Insurance All-Ireland final against Westmeath.
The team is captained by Emer Keenan and there are no fewer than 12 different clubs represented on the squad.
The sides last met on 29 July in the Round Robin phase with Westmeath shading matters 1-10 to 2-6.
Dublin’s management team has a direct link with the last senior All-Ireland to come to the Capital. Ann Colgan, a native of Liscarroll, was captain of that Dublin team in 1984. Also on the same side was Carmel O’Byrne whose daughter Róisín Drohan will line out at midfield on Sunday.
Dublin last won the Premier Junior crown in 2006 – Gráinne Power’s sister Catríona was on that 2006 side.
Ciara Buchanan of St Finians in Swords and Róisín MacLoughlin of Naomh Olaf (Sandyford) will be the first representatives from their clubs to feature in an All-Ireland final in any code in Croke Park.
