COVETED final slots and promotion are the big prizes on offer that could be claimed across a pivotal weekend of Lidl National League action. 

Should results go in a certain way, our finalists in Divisions 1 and 2 could be confirmed, while Louth will ensure they finish on top of the pile in Division 3 if they can win away to Roscommon. 

In Division 4, meanwhile, it’s a straight shoot-out between Offaly and Longford for the remaining semi-final slot on offer. 

There are games of huge consequence across the four Divisions and all four top flight ties are available to view live. 

The clash between title chasers Galway and relegation-threatened Dublin is the live TG4 clash on Saturday, with the other three Division 1 fixtures on offer via live streams.

Cork v Meath; MTU Cork, 5pm – Live Stream 

Following promotion back to the top flight, it’s been a remarkable season for Cork. 

A win here would be good enough to secure a Division 1 final on April 11, as Meath look to bounce back from their defeat to Kildare, which scuppered any slim Royal County hopes of making the final. 

Cork showed real mettle to dig out a victory over Waterford at Páirc Uí Rinn last time out and the Leesiders are unchanged for this one. 

The visitors have made five changes in personnel, with Aoife Farrell, Ciara Lawlor, Olivia Gore, Ciara Smyth, fresh from an historic AIG O’Connor Cup Final victory with TU Dublin, and Lauren Woods are handed starts. Dropping out of the Meath starting line-up are Órla Smith, Sinéad Murphy, Sarah Wall, Meadhbh Byrne and Orla Finnegan. 

MEATH: R Murray; K Kealy, Á Sheridan, A Farrell; C Lawlor, O Gore, K Bermingham; O Sheehy, N Gallogly (capt.); M Farrelly, C Smyth, M Thynne; E Duggan, L Woods, R Casserly.

CORK: S Murphy; M Duggan, D Kiniry, S Kelly; A Corcoran, S McGoldrick, R Corkery; A Healy, A O'Mahony; R Leahy, G Murphy, E Cleary (capt.); R O'Regan, K Quirke, L Hallahan.
