blog CommentsDIVISION THREE NATIONAL LEAGUE FINAL
LAOIS V DOWN (Donaghmore Ashbourne, Sunday, 3.15pm)
With The Harps achieving an incredible hat-trick of All Ireland junior club wins last season, there will be incentive for Laois to add a National title at county level. They were beaten by the narrowest of margins in the penultimate stages of the league and the All Ireland junior championship last year.
When these sides met in the group stages a couple of weeks ago, the Midlanders came out on top, albeit by the minimum. So, no doubt, revenge will be on the mind of the Down ladies.
DIVISION FOUR NATIONAL LEAGUE FINAL
KILDARE V WESTMEATH (Donaghmore Ashbourne, Sunday 1.30pm)
A close contest is expected here. Kildare qualified for the final courtesy of their hard-fought win over Tyrone on Sunday and they will be hoping to turn the tables on an earlier two-goal league defeat to Westmeath in February.
Westmeath won Division Three in 2007, so are anxious to move back up the ranks. And selecting from a full compliment should strengthen their hand. Both teams are rebuilding. However, a mix of experience and youth should make for an interesting encounter.
Also, the following matches have been set for Saturday to ensure the girls can get the Easter Sunday roast dinner ready for their menfolk in good time for them to get to the national league fudball games.
