THE 2022 TG4 All-Ireland Ladies Senior Football Championship cranks up a gear on Sunday – with five crucial games down for decision in Round 2.  

In Group A, victories for Mayo and Dublin against Cavan and Tipperary respectively would secure places in the quarter-finals, while Senior champions Meath clash with Armagh in a mouth-watering Group B Fixture.  

Galway will look to keep their All-Ireland hopes alive when they take on Westmeath in Group C, as Cork take on Donegal in a Group D clash.  

The TG4 cameras will be at Glennon Brothers Pearse Parkin Longford for a live double-header, with the Cavan-Mayo game (1.45pm), followed by that Armagh-Meath fixture (3.45pm).  

The day’s other three Senior games, as well as the Junior meeting of Antrim and New York, will be available to view on the LGFA’s live-streaming service: https://page.inplayer.com/lgfaseason2022/ 

Armagh v Meath; Glennon Brothers Pearse Park, 3.45pm – Live on TG4 

Armagh’s clash with Meath will revive memories of last year’s quarter-final clash between the sides.  

Meath won that one to set up a semi-final with Cork at Croke Park – and the rest is history.  

Armagh come into this one on the back of a TG4 Ulster Final victory over Donegal – and manager Ronan Murphy has gone with an unchanged starting line-up.  

A win for Meath would send them through safely to the quarter-finals as group winners, and leave Armagh and Monaghan to scrap it out for the second knockout place.  

But an Armagh win would leave the table nicely poised ahead of the final game in the pool, between the Ulster rivals.  

Meath have made one change to the team that saw off Monaghan comfortably in Round 1, with Niamh Gallogly coming in to replace Kelsey Nesbitt for this live TV fixture.  

Armagh (v Meath): A Carr; S Grey, C McCambridge, C Towe; N Marley, L McConville, G Ferguson; B Mackin, C O’Hanlon; E Lavery, N Coleman, C Marley; A Mackin, A McCoy, K Mallon (capt.). 

Meath (v Armagh): M McGuirk; S Ennis (capt.), M.K. Lynch, O Duff; N Gallogly, E Troy, A Cleary; M O’Shaughnessy, O Lally; M Thynne, E Duggan, A Leahy; V Wall, S Grimes, N O’Sullivan.
