Dublin need win over Laois to propel themselves up the Shield All Ireland Championship Table
Dublin manager Rachel Rogers has named her Dublin U16A side to face Laois in the Shield All Ireland Championship on Sunday in Abbotstown at 2pm.
The young Dubs currently sit bottom of the table on three points from their three championship games to date. They are tied level with the three teams above them, Waterford, Clare and Sundays opponents Laois but sit at the foot of the table based on an inferior score difference than the sides above them.
Considering the other fixtures taking place on Sunday, a win for Dublin would see them move up the table to possibly third place with one round of group games to go next weekend with the Dubs traveling to face Offaly who are currently in second place ahead of this weekends fixtures.
Based on the last meeting between the teams in the Leinster U16A Shield final which the Dubs won by a single point with the final score 2-07 to 1-09, it should be another very tight affair between the sides on Sunday.
