McLaughlin included in team as Donegal ladies seek semi-final spot

GERALDINE McLaughlin has been named in then starting XV as the Donegal Ladies chase a Lidl Ladies National Football League semi-final berth.

Donegal have won their opening two games but they’re still not assured of a semi-final spot ahead of Sunday’s trip to Tuam to face Galway (2pm).

McLaughlin didn’t start last week for the win over Mayo, the Termon woman ruled out after a late fitness test.

However, the sharp-shooter is included for this weekend.

In Division 1A, Donegal lead the way on six points, followed by Mayo and Galway on three each.

Mayo make the trip to St Loman’s in Mullingar for a clash with Westmeath, in what is a fixture with consequences at both ends of the table.

Westmeath could avoid a relegation play-off with a victory, and drag Mayo into the mire, while the Connacht outfit might not even be sure of a semi-final place with a victory.

In that instance, a Galway victory over Donegal would see Donegal, Mayo and Galway all locked together on six points – with score difference then coming into play to decide the semi-finalists.

In the event that Mayo and Galway both draw their games – leaving them together on four points in the table – Mayo would advance having won the head-to-head clash between the sides.

Home manager Gerry Fahy has included Sophie Healy, Sarah Gormally and Laura Ahearne in his team, with Jemma Burke, Shauna Molloy and Kate Geraghty dropping out of the team that defeated Westmeath in Round 2.

Galway (v Donegal): D Gower; S Healy, S Lynch, S Gormally; L Ahearne, C Cooney, H Noone; S Divilly, O Divilly; E Reaney, M Glynn, N Ward; M Seoighe (capt.), A Trill, K Slevin.

Donegal (v Galway): A McColgan; N Carr, E McGinley, E Gallagher; A.M. Logue, Nicole McLaughlin, R Rodgers; K Herron, S Twohig; B McLaughlin, Niamh McLaughlin (capt.), N Boyle; N Hegarty, K Guthrie, G McLaughlin.
