Dublin will look to get back to winning ways against an unbeaten Cork side on Bank Holiday Monday in Páirc Uí Rinn
After their defeat to Galway last weekend Dublin have made two changes to their starting fifteen to face Cork this Bank Holiday Monday.
Martha Byrne failed a late fitness test before the Galway game but returns to the full back line this week in place of Roisin Baker.
Kate Sullivan who came off the bench last week but had to leave the field shortly after her introduction following a heavy collision with an opponent has fully recovered and takes the place of Jodi Egan in the Dublin full forward line.
Dublin’s bench for this weekend clash in Páirc Uí Rinn looks stronger with the return of experienced duo Niamh Hetherton and Lauren Magee who are included in a Dublin match day panel for the first time this season.
Cork remain unbeaten after two rounds of the league game although they had to did deep last weekend to earn a draw against a dogged Waterford outfit.
Moday’s game will be an intriguing affair considering both Dublin and Cork are in the midst of a transition period with both managements trying out new systems and trying to incorporate new players into their team and squads.
The referee for Monday’s game is Garryowen McMahon from Mayo who takes charge of a Dublin game for the second weekend in a row, for a second week in a row. The game gets underway at 3pm in Páirc Uí Rinn and supporters unable to travel to Cork can catch all the action live on TG4.
