Five changes to the Limerick ladies football side that takes on Wicklow

LIMERICK'S ladies gaelic football manager Graham Shine has made five changes to his starting lineup for their LIDL National Football League Division 4 clash with Wicklow on Sunday.

Into the side comes Cathy Mee, Clare O'Meara, Katie Heelan, Anna O'Dea and Karen O'Leary from the team that beat Kilkenny in their opening league fixture two weeks ago.

Limerick earned a comfortable win in that game but will face a stiffer test against Wicklow in Baltinglass this weekend. Shine will be looking to reach the league final for the second time in as many years.

Carol Bateman keeps her place in goals, while Shine has opted to name the same six players in defence with Fiona Bradshaw, Yvonne Lee, Meadbh McNamara, Grace Lee, Leah Coughlan and Deborah Murphy all keeping their places.

Roisin Ambrose captains the side from midfield next to O'Meara. Lauren Ryan, Andrea O'Sullivan and Heelan make up the half-forward line, while O'Dea, Mee and O'Leary take their places in the full-forward line.

Limerick versus Wicklow has a 2pm throw-in and is being streamed live by the LGFA.
