Ladies Football will take centre stage this weekend with the Division One and Two Finals of the Lidl National League taking place at Croke Park and broadcast live on TG4.

Armagh captain Kelly Mallon, Kerry skipper Anna Galvin, Donegal captain Niamh McLaughlin and her Meath counterpart, Shauna Ennis, were pictured above at Croke Park during the week to discuss the games.

Armagh and Kerry will be first up at 2 PM in the Division 2 Final, followed by the Division 1 decider between Donegal and Meath.

Armagh and Kerry will be playing for the trophy and also the right to play at the highest level in 2023.

There will be a new name on the top-flight trophy this year with Meath and Donegal looking to score a first success.

Both have made it to this stage only once before, Meath losing to Cork in 2006 and Donegal to the same foe in 2017. This is the first year in thirteen that neither Dublin nor Cork have made it to the final stage.

It will be their first meeting in a senior competitive fixture since 2016, when Donegal won a Lidl National League fixture by 3-17 to 3-8 in Division 2.

“We’re looking forward to a brilliant double-header at Croke Park on Sunday,” said Mícheál Naughton, President of the Ladies Gaelic Football Association.

“We’ve had some brilliant games to date during our 2022 Lidl National Leagues and I’d like to take the opportunity to congratulate Offaly and Roscommon, our Divisions 4 and 3 winners respectively from last Sunday, while also paying tribute to runners-up Limerick and Wexford.”

“We’ve been delighted to bring all of the action in the 2022 Lidl National Leagues to viewers either on TG4 or via our subscription service.”

“Back in February, we were delighted to launch our 2022 National Leagues with confirmation of a four-year contract extension that will mark a decade of #SeriousSupport and take our partnership through to the conclusion of the 2025 season.”

“The pledge of an additional €5m over the course of the next four years will bring total investment from Lidl to €10m in ten years of sponsorship.”

“As we have returned to some semblance of normality over the past few months, it has been fantastic to see supporters back at games again cheering on their counties,” added JP Scally, CEO of Lidl Ireland.

“There have been some incredible performances over the course of the League campaign and we look forward to a competitive Finals day.”
