TG4 Munster Senior Championship Final
Kerry v Waterford; Kilmallock GAA, Limerick, 2pm – Live on Spórt TG4 YouTube
Kerry are going in search of a third successive title, as Waterford look to end a provincial famine dating back to 2002.
Since that last win, the Déise have contested finals in 2003, 2006, 2007, 2017, 2019 and 2025, coming up short on each occasion.
Last year’s defeat to Kerry cut deep, as Waterford were in front for long spells before a late Mary O’Connell goal helped earn victory for the Kingdom.
But the omens are good for Waterford ahead of this one as they’ve won both competitive outings against Kerry in 2026 – a Lidl National League Division 1 round tie and, more recently, a round-robin fixture in the Munster Championship.
Indeed, Waterford went three from three in the group phase, with victories over Cork and Tipperary also secured.
Kerry booked their place in the final by getting past Cork last time out – and they’re unchanged for this decider.
Waterford have made two changes to the team that started against Tipperary in their previous outing, with captain Emma Murry and Maeve Daly handed starts, as Chloe Fennell and Clare Walsh drop to the bench.
Kerry: M E Bolger; R Rahilly, D Kearney, E Lynch; A O’Connell, E Costello, A Dillane; A Galvin, M O’Connell; N Carmody, N Ní Chonchúir, C Evans; J Lucey, L McMahon, S O’Shea (c).
Waterford: K Gardner; C Murray, L Mulcahy, R Browne; A McGrath, R Casey, K McGrath; E Murray (c), E Power; Á O'Neill, K Hogan, K Murray; M Daly, B McMaugh, L McGregor.
TG4 Ulster Senior Championship Final
Armagh v Tyrone; Derry Centre of Excellence, Owenbeg, 2pm – Live on Spórt TG4 YouTube
Armagh are aiming for a third successive Ulster senior title – with Tyrone looking to win their first since 2009.
Tyrone’s victory in the 2025 Intermediate final returned them to the senior ranks and they’ve made a big impact in Ulster.
The Red Hands won both of their round-robin fixtures, against Donegal and Armagh, and they’re very much here on merit.
The win against Armagh saw both teams field experimental teams, as both teams had already qualified for the final, but it was a notable win for Tyrone nonetheless.
Armagh’s team for Sunday features just three players who started against Tyrone last time out, namely Cait Towe, Maeve Ferguson and Kelly Mallon
The Orchard County have made 12 changes in personnel, with goalkeeper Brianna Mathers recalled in place of Cailin Traynor.
Further out the field, Clodagh McCambridge, Emily Druse, captain Lauren McConville, Grace Ferguson, Christina O’Reilly, Blaithín Mackin, Catherine Marley, Aoife McCoy, Caoimhe McNally, Aimee Mackin and Caroline O’Hanlon are given starting berths.
Laura Kavanagh, Elsie Druse, Alana Donnelly, Ella Reid, Mallaidh Loughran, Sarah Quigley, Niamh Reel, Eve Lavery, Lara Marsden, Eve Cassidy and Eimear McGeown all dropping out for Armagh.
Tyrone have also made sweeping changes, with nine changes to the team that defeated Armagh.
Laura Kane replaces Amelia Coyle between the sticks, with Jayne Hearty, Eimear Quinn, Claire Canavan, Méabh Corrigan, captain Aoibhinn McHugh, Slaine McCarroll, Chloe McCaffrey and Sorcha Gormley named to start.
Ciara Colton, Joanne Barrett, Katie Rose Muldoon, Aoife Quinn, Elle McNamee, Emma Conroy, Maeve Maxwell and Cara McNamee sit this one out from the start but will hope to feature during the provincial showpiece.
Armagh: B Mathers; M Ferguson, C McCambridge, C Towe; E Druse, L McConville (c), G Ferguson; C O’Reilly, B Mackin; C Marley, A McCoy, C McNally; A Mackin, C O’Hanlon, K Mallon.
Tyrone: L Kane; J Hearty, G McKenna, E Quinn; C Canavan, M Corrigan, C Campbell; M Mallon, A McHugh (c); S McCarroll, C McCaffrey, E McCanny; N O'Neill, S Gormley, A Horisk.
