THE Limerick Ladies starting line-up to face Louth in their Group B TG4 All-Ireland Junior Championship clash this Sunday, has been named. 

The game which takes place at Stabannon Parnells grounds in Co Louth has a 1pm throw-in time and will feature the two leading sides in Group B.

Limerick beat Longford in Round 1, as Louth got the better of Kilkenny. The Shannonsiders enjoyed a clinical 1-12 to 0-8 victory over rivals Longford in their opening round game of the TG4 All-Ireland Junior Championship earlier this month.
This win was made even more impressive as Longford have only this season dropped down from the Intermediate ranks.

Limerick gained the upperhand in the closing quarter of the contest which was played in good conditions. Home side Longford had led 0-8 to 0-6 in the 37th minute.

However, the Shannonsiders made the most of two sin-binnings for Longford players, adding 1-3 without reply to move into a four point lead, 1-9 to 0-8.

Limerick’s slick movement was also a telling factor in their victory. Midfielder and captain Roisin Ambrose and half-forward Deborah Murphy were both outstanding.

 Louth currently edge Limerick for top spot in the Group by virtue of their better scoring difference.
A win for either side here would put them in a brilliant position to advance. 
 
Louth: R Lambe Fagan; C O’Reilly, E Murray, E Hand; H Lambe-Sally, L Byrne, C Nolan; A Halligan, Á Breen (capt.); M Duffy, A Russell, S Matthews; N Rice, K Flood, E Byrne.
 
Limerick: S Hennessy; J McGuire, Y Lee (capt.), R Browne; G Lee, L Coughlan, G Mullane; R Ambrose (capt.), M MacNamara; K O’Leary, D Murphy, C Mee; E Woulfe, I Kennelly, C McGrath.
