Lidl National Football League – Division 2 FINAL Cork v Galway; Croke Park, 3pm – Live on TG4.
JUST like Saturday’s Division 1 decider at Croke Park, there’s a familiar feel to the pairing for the Lidl National League Division 2 Final. Cork and Galway are teams that know plenty about each other, having met in Round 2 of the group phase. That game resulted in a 2-8 to 0-12 win for Galway, in what was the first competitive meeting between the sides since the 2024 TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship semi-final.
Galway won that one, before falling to Kerry in the Final, after Cork had beaten Galway in the round-robin phase of the Championship. Those 2024 Championship tussles came on the back of a desperately disappointing League campaign for both counties last year, when they were relegated from Division 1. Cork and Galway were favourites to make an instant return to the top flight, however, and so it proved. Galway won seven from seven to top the table, with Cork winning six of their seven games (a sole blip coming at the hands of Galway).
Having contested a TG4 All-Ireland Senior Final last year, Galway will be pleased to get back to Croke Park so quickly and have the chance to savour a winning feeling here. The goal at the start of the League campaign for both of Saturday’s finalists will have been promotion and the chance to capture a trophy now is a lovely bonus. Championship may be just around the corner but Cork and Galway will give it everything as they chase the win.
Cork are the proud holders of 12 Division 1 titles but they’ve also won the Division 2 crown on three occasions – 2003, 1992 and 1988. On Saturday, Galway go in search of their third Division 2 title win, following previous successes in 2014 and 2002. With the potential to provide some real clues as to the Championship prospects of both counties, this Division 2 Final should be a really interesting game.
Galway’s will be desperate to atone for last year’s TG4 All-Ireland SFC Final loss to Kerry, while Cork’s ultimate goal is to get back to a first Senior Final since 2020. Going into the Championship with a major national title would be a real boost – and that’s the opportunity that presents itself. Two talented teams with huge potential are ready to put on a show at Croke Park. The old saying is that familiarity breeds contempt but, in this case, it will almost certainly breed entertainment, too.
Cork: S Murphy; D Kiniry, S Kelly, M Duggan; E O’Shea, S Leahy (capt.), R Corkery; A Corcoran, A Healy; A O’Mahony, L O’Mahony, E Cleary; H Looney, L Coppinger, K Quirke.
Galway: D Gower; M Jordan, S Ní Loingsigh, K Geraghty (capt.); H Noone, N Ward, C Trill; L Ward, S Divilly; O Divilly, S Hynes, A Davoren; L Noone, R Leonard, K Slevin.

This Sunday, December 1st, Kilkerrin Clonberne LGFA, the reigning three-time Ladies Gaelic Football All-Ireland Club champions, will clash with Clann Eireann GAC , two-time Ulster Ladies Gaelic champions, in a highly anticipated AIB GAA Ladies Club Football Championship semi-final in Lurgan at 2:30 PM.
Kilkerrin-Clonberne comes into the game with a star-studded lineup. Their squad boasts 2024 All-Star nominee Louise Ward, 2024 All-Star recipient Olivia Divilly, and the 2024 Players' Player of the Year and All-Star recipient Nicola Ward. These players, alongside a team enriched by 13 Galway LGFA Senior titles, 9 Connacht crowns (including a remarkable seven-in-a-row streak), and 3 Club All-Ireland medals, make Kilkerrin-Clonberne the gold standard of club football.
For Clann Éireann, the challenge is immense. Playing on home turf in Lurgan offers a glimmer of advantage, but they will need a monumental performance to overcome Kilkerrin-Clonberne’s experience, talent, and pedigree. Despite this, the Armagh champions are unlikely to back down, bringing their own blend of grit and determination to the table.
It’s set to be a fascinating battle of champions, with Kilkerrin-Clonberne aiming to extend their dominance and Clann Éireann striving to defy the odds and secure a place in the final.
Get to Lurgan Ladies Gfc and support Kilkerrin Clonberne LGFA as they aim to get a 4th Club All Ireland Football final in a row.
The match will also be available to watch live online.

The TG4 Connacht Ladies final on Sunday will provide us with the latest instalment of a gripping and compelling rivalry that never fails to produce a shortage of drama.
Up until the corresponding fixture last year the balance of power seemed to have shifted to Galway, however Mayo produced the goods on Connacht final day and have been the superior force in Connacht since.
Mayo went to account for their western neighbours in the latter stages of last year’s All Ireland championship and registered another win over the Galway girls in this year’s league competition.
League form is perhaps the barometer we will be using for gauging where the teams are at this early stage of the championship. If that is the case then Mayo will start as favourites in Kiltoom on Sunday.
The defending provincial champions finished in 5th position in Division 1 while Galway unfortunately went through the trap door and will play in the second division next year as a result. Mayo enjoyed three wins, secured one draw and suffered three defeats in a league campaign that really was a mixed bag when it came to results.
The Mayo girls just like their Galway counterparts have a new management setup in 2024. Up until the end of last summer Liam McHale was part of his brother- in law Kevin McStay management team with the Mayo men’s team. McHale however opted to step away from the ticket and eventually was appointed the Mayo ladies manager after a somewhat controversial selection process in which he was initially selected for the role but failed to win the support of the Mayo LGFA county board in a secret ballet. He subsequently reapplied for the position and as the old saying goes if first you don’t succeed try again and it was a case of second time lucky.
When we caught up with Liam at a preview event ahead of the final he was quick to point out that there is unity in camp and everyone is singing from the one hymn sheet. You get the feeling that Liam McHale knows the benefit of having a united front if a team are to be successful. The Ballina native is also quick to play down any talk of his side being favourites adding that Galway provided him with ample evidence in this year’s league match in Duggan Park that they can be dangerous opposition.
It’s a view also held by the Mayo skipper Saoirse Lally who expressed her confidence that the new players in the camp will provide with the catalyst to build on a the 2023 championship run which ended at the All Ireland semi-final stage.
Daniel Moynihan is also in his first season in charge of the Galway ladies. Moynihan has forged a fine reputation as an underage manager and enjoyed success with the Galway minors. Having a successful club team like Kilkerrin Clonberne of course raises the profile of ladies football in the county but it also results in players having to be managed properly for intercounty commitments after a long and extended club season. Moynihan wants to see the real Galway in action now and he is hopeful that group have collectively parked the league relegation disappointment. It’s a view also held by the team vice-captain Roisin Leonard. She also feels that Galway now need to find a way of turning narrow defeats into victories. The Galway comeback could pick a worse place to start, as well as championship ranking at stake there is major bragging rights in Connacht. Throw in on Sunday is at 2 p.m. in Kiltoom.

Galway can at last celebrate their first win of the 2024 league campaign after an impressive performance against a strong Meath team in Ballinasloe this afternoon. Opening exchanges saw both teams kick wides or have attacks snuffled out before Shauna Hynes opened Galway’s account with the first point. Roisin Leonard then added a further 3 points, including 2 of her trademark off the ground frees, for the home team. Meath’s first score was a point from Emma Duggan, their stand out player. In response Galway attacked the Meath goal with Ailbhe Davoren’s first shot being saved by Monica McGuirk before Shauna Hynes netted the rebound to make the score 1-4 to 0-1. Shauna then took another point from play before Meath got their 2nd point. Galway continued then to dominate play for the rest of the first half with points being added by Nicola Ward, in the midst of an impressive full match return for Galway, Shauna Hynes, a mighty point from Leanne Coen and another expertly pointed free from Roisin, making the score at halftime Galway 1-9 Meath 0-2.
As one could expect, Meath began the second half with serious intent, Emma Duggan scoring a point from play and another from a free. The pressure was briefly relieved for Galway by Olivia Divilly getting a beautiful point against the run of play. Meath kept up the pressure on the Galway goal with Emma Duggan scoring 2 points in succession, the second of which was from a free. Time and again, however, Galway’s defence made crucial tackles or interventions with Eimile Gavin, Sarah Ni Loingsigh, Kate Geraghty and Nicola Ward all showing significant mettle. Emma Duggan struck a close in free going for goal which thankfully was deflected out for a 45 by Dearbhla Gower. We weren’t going to let this game slip from our grasp anyways. Shauna Hynes made the most of a breakout from the Galway half scoring a fisted point. Again Meath attacked and Dearbhla Gower made a significant goal preventing save. Further Meath pressure was rebuffed with Shauna Hynes scoring a further point for Galway in her worthy of Player of the Match performance. The final score in the game was a further Meath point from Emma Duggan, making the final score Galway 1-12 Meath 0-7. With this first win on the board Galway can now go into the last two league games with some hope they can escape relegation. Come out to support them in their next crucial home match vs Waterford on St Patrick’s bank holiday weekend.

The Leading Provincial Females programme is designed for females aged 18+ interested in personal development and potentially leading teams. Four programmes will be held in each of the four provinces and all participants will attend two days, one at the start of the programme and one at the end, which will examine their leadership skills.
Attendance is also required at a mid-point evening session, again focusing on leadership skills, while participants must complete at least two modules from themes across the four strands of coaching, officiating, administration, and PR/Media between each of those dates, minimum four in total. This is a blended course, consisting of face-to-face sessions and online webinars, and the benefits are multi-fold for participants. They will have the chance to engage with like-minded future leaders in Gaelic Games, while also gaining insight and understanding of their own leadership styles. Training and advice will be provided by experienced leadership trainers.
This programme is for females who wish to develop and hone their leadership skills, while also furthering development as a coach, match official, administrator or any volunteer role in Gaelic Games.
We welcome applications from females at all levels within the association. For more information, please click on the link below and to apply for the programme, please click HERE.

LGFA Press Release
Clubs from Galway, Monaghan, Tipperary, Longford and Cork set their sights on currentaccount.ie All-Ireland club glory
Tuesday, December 6, 2022
PLAYERS from the 2022 currentaccount.ie All-Ireland Ladies Football Club Finalists have gathered at Croke Park ahead of three eagerly-anticipated fixtures.
Clubs from five counties – Galway, Monaghan, Tipperary, Longford and Cork – have their eyes firmly set on silverware as they look ahead to the Senior, Intermediate and Junior deciders.
First up next Saturday, December 10, Croke Park will play host to an historic double-header as the currentaccount.ie All-Ireland Intermediate and Senior Finals are played at the storied venue for the very first time.
The action gets underway at 3pm when Longford Slashers pit their wits against Tipperary outfit Mullinahone in the Intermediate decider.
That’s followed by the Senior showpiece between current holders Kilkerrin-Clonberne from Galway and five-time winners Donaghmoyne from Monaghan at 5pm – and both games will be televised live by TG4: https://www.tg4.ie/en/player/watch-live/
On Sunday, December 11, attention switches to the 2022 currentaccount.ie All-Ireland Junior Final between Cork outfit Naomh Abán and opponents Salthill-Knocknacarra from Galway, which will be played at Kilmallock GAA, Co. Limerick, at 1pm.
That game will be exclusively live to view via the LGFA’s streaming portal: https://page.inplayer.com/lgfaseason2023/item.html?id=1940390
For Kilkerrin-Clonberne, managed by Willie Ward and captained by his daughter, Louise, this will mark the club’s third successive appearance in a Senior All-Ireland Club Final.
They lost out to Mourneabbey in 2019 but gained revenge on their Cork opponents in January of this year to claim the 2021 title.
Willie’s twin daughters Nicola and Louise, will lead the Kilkerrin-Clonberne charge while the Divilly sisters, Olivia and Siobhan, are both experienced county players, and are joined by another sister, Niamh, in the club ranks.
The Kilkerrin-Clonberne side is sprinkled with inter-county talent from various grades, including the Noone sisters, Hannah, Eva and Lynsey, and TG4 All Star nominated goalkeeper, Lisa Murphy.
In their semi-final victory over Waterford outfit Ballymacarbry, Kilkerrin-Clonberne had another Galway ace, Ailish Morrissey, in sparkling form, as she weighed in with a haul of 1-3.
Standing in Kilkerrin-Clonberne’s way as they go in search of back-to-back All-Ireland Senior title are Donaghmoyne, who lost out to next Saturday’s opponents in the 2021 semi-final.
Donaghmoyne recently captured a 14th Ulster Senior title before going on to defeat Kilmacud Crokes in the All-Ireland semi-final.
Donaghmoyne, aiming for a first All-Ireland Senior club title since 2016, have been around the block, with a number of past and present Monaghan county stars in their ranks.
Goalkeeper Linda Martin is one of the very best in the business, while the Garland twins, Lauren and Amy, along with Aoife Burns, provide youthful exuberance to supplement the experience of the four Courtney sisters – Sharon, Cora, Fiona and Rosemary.
Both Intermediate Finalists, meanwhile, are gracing this stage for the very first time.
Longford Slashers will become the very first team from Longford to compete in an All-Ireland Club Final, while Mullinahone will hope to emulate the feat of Brian Borus in 2009 by winning the Intermediate Club title.
It’s been a remarkable rise for Mullinahone this year, when you consider that they contested a currentaccount.ie All-Ireland Junior Final against winners St Judes from Dublin in February of this year.
Mullinahone came through a thrilling semi-final against Fermanagh opponents Derrygonnelly Harps after extra-time, as Longford Slashers got the better of Mayo side Charlestown to book their place in the Final.
In the Junior decider, first-time finalists Salthill-Knocknacarra will hope to become the second club from Galway to win this competition, following victory for Caltra Cuans in 2010.
Their opponents are Naomh Abán from Cork, who were All-Ireland Intermediate champions back in 2003.
Cork clubs can boast a good recent record in the Junior championship, as Donoughmore (2019), Glanmire (2018) and Aghada (2017) are all recent winners.
Salthill-Knocknacarra defeated Dublin club O’Dwyers in their recent semi-final, as Naomh Abán got the better of Monaghan opponents Castleblayney Faughs.
At a Croke Park photocall ahead of the games, Donaghmoyne and Kilkerrin-Clonberne were represented by their respective captains, Niamh Callan and Louise Ward.
Eimear O’Brien made the trip on behalf of Longford Slashers, while Mullinahone had captain Jennifer Brett in attendance.
The Junior Club Finalists, Naomh Abán and Salthill-Knocknacarra, were represented by respective captains, Una Twohig and Ailbhe Finnerty.
Ladies Gaelic Football Association President, Mícheál Naughton, was also in attendance, alongside Barry Feeney, CFO at Payac Services, on behalf of competition sponsors, currentaccount.ie.
Looking ahead to the games, Ladies Gaelic Football Association President, Mícheál Naughton, said: “I would like to wish the six participating teams in the 2022 currentaccount.ie All-Ireland Ladies Club Championship Finals the very best of luck.
“We have three terrific games in store, with our Intermediate and Senior Finals forming an historic double-header at Croke Park, with both games live on TG4.
“ We will also live-stream Sunday’s Junior Final, and you can watch that with us via our InPlayer service.
“In recent weeks, we have been the fortunate position to watch all of the games in the All-Ireland series on live-streams, and the standard of football has been quite exceptional.
“I would also like to pay a special word of thanks to our sponsors, currentaccount.ie., who also sponsor our National Volunteer awards.
“There’s a wonderful synergy between the Credit Unions and the LGFA, with a huge emphasis on the volunteer spirit in action.
“I wish continued success to currentaccount.ie CEO, Mr. Seamus Newcombe, and his entire team, who are playing a vital role in local communities across the country with their suite of financial services.”
Speaking on behalf of currentaccount.ie, Chief Executive Mr. Seamus Newcombe commented: “Congratulations to all of the participating teams on reaching the currentaccount.ie All-Ireland Ladies Club Championship finals.
“Currentaccount.ie and our participating Credit Unions - with over 200 offices throughout Ireland – are delighted to sponsor this year’s All Ireland Club Championships.
