Provincial rivals lock horns again
Galway and Mayo meet again in a repeat of the Connacht final, which the Tribes won at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park.
Galway beat Cork and Tipperary impressively to secure a home quarter-final, while Mayo defeated Laois and lost narrowly to Armagh.
The hosts are unchanged following victory over Tipperary, while Mayo have made two changes to the team that started the Armagh loss.
Sarah Mulvihill and Tara Needham are called into the starting line-up, with Saoirse Delaney and Shauna Howley dropping to the bench.
Galway: K Connolly; K Geraghty, S Ní Loingsigh (capt), A Ní Cheallaigh; A Molloy, N Ward, S Brennan; L Ward, H Noone; O Divilly, L Coen, L Noone; T Leonard, A Davoren, R Leonard.
Mayo: L Brennan; É Ronayne, C McManamon, S Lally; D Caldwell, C Needham, K Sullivan (capt); A Geraghty, F McHale; M Cannon, S Cafferky, S Mulvihill; T Needham, D Doherty, S Walsh.
First meeting of Armagh and Cork in four years
In the Ulster final, Armagh were stunned by Donegal but the Orchard County have regrouped impressively since then and now meet Cork in the championship for the first time since 2019 – and Armagh won that group fixture in Tullamore.
Cork have been moving steadily under Shane Ronayne, beating Kerry to win Munster before falling to defeat against Galway in Salthill. The Rebels had to beat Tipperary to advance and they did so impressively, to tee up this last-eight encounter.
The Rebels have made one change to the team that defeated Tipp, with Katie Quirke named to start in place of Eimear Kiely, who went off injured last time out. There's also one change to the Armagh starting line-up following a last-gasp victory over Mayo, as Niamh Marley comes in for Niamh Reel.
Armagh: A Carr; S Grey, C McCambridge, L Kenny; G Ferguson, L McConville, C Towe; N Coleman, E Lavery; B Mackin, A Mackin, E Druse; N Marley, K Mallon (capt), A McCoy.
Cork: M O’Sullivan; M Duggan, E Meaney, R Phelan; A Ryan, S Kelly, L O’Mahony; M O’Callaghan (capt), H Looney; D Kiely, K Quirke, C O’Sullivan; O Cahalane, D O’Sullivan, E Cleary.
Repeat of last year's final should draw big crowd to Tralee
Kerry have succeeded Meath as Lidl National League Division 1 champions and will now look to end the Royal County's three-in-a-row All-Ireland bid.
The Munster side regrouped from their provincial final loss to Cork with victories over Dublin and Cavan in the group stages.
Meath, meanwhile, defeated Waterford but fell to Donegal last time out, denying the champions a home quarter-final.
Instead, they make the trip south to face Kerry and manager Jenny Rispin has named an unchanged starting team, while Kingdom joint-bosses Declan Quill and Darragh Long have made five changes to the team that lined out against Cavan.
Eilís Lynch, Aishling O’Connell, Lorraine Scanlon, Niamh Ní Chonchúir and Hannah O’Donoghue are all handed starting berths, as Ava Doherty, Ciara McCarthy, Amy Harrington, Danielle O’Leary and Caoimhe Evans are held in reserve this time.
Kerry: C Butler; E Lynch, K Cronin, C Murphy; A O’Connell, E Costello, C Lynch; L Scanlon, L Galvin; N Carmody, N Ní Chonchúir, A Galvin; H O’Donoghue, S O’Shea (capt), L Ní Mhuircheartaigh.
Meath: M McGuirk; Á Sheridan, M.K. Lynch, K Newe; N Gallogly, S Ennis (capt), E Duggan; M O’Shaughnessy, A Minogue; M Thynne, V Wall, O Lally; M Byrne, S Grimes, N O’Sullivan.
McLaughlin starts for Donegal
Donegal and Dublin meet for the third successive season in the quarter-finals.
The Dubs won in 2021 but Donegal turned the tables last year in what was viewed as a shock win.
The headline team news is a first start of the season for Donegal’s All Star forward Geraldine McLaughlin.
The ace attacker replaces Shannon McGroddy as boss Maxi Curran makes one change to the team that beat Meath impressively last time out.
Dublin manager Mick Bohan has made six changes to the team that beat Cavan.
Leah Caffrey, Martha Byrne, Aoife Kane, Caoimhe O’Connor, Jodi Egan and Orlagh Nolan come in for Grainne Fitzsimons, Faye O’Connell-Bell, Niamh Hetherton, Annabelle Timothy, Danielle Lawless and Sinead Wylde.
Caffrey, Byrne and Kane have shrugged off knocks picked up against Kerry in the group fixture at Parnell Park.
Donegal: C Friel; N Carr, A Temple Asoko, E Gallagher; A Boyle Carr, Nicole McLaughlin, T Hegarty; R Rodgers, Niamh McLaughlin (capt); S White, K Long, K Dowds; N Hegarty, K Herron, G McLaughlin.
Dublin: A Shiels; N Crowley, L Caffrey, N Donlon; L Magee, M Byrne, A Kane; E O’Dowd, J Dunne; C O’Connor, C Rowe (capt), J Egan; H Tyrrell, K Sullivan, O Nolan.
