Donegal prove too strong for Waterford in Lifford
The three-time All Star added two more points to her already impressive tally as the opening half wore on, though Hannah Tyrrell knocked over a free for Dublin in between these efforts.
Another place-ball effort by the outstanding Ní Mhuircheartaigh had the Munster outfit within sight of a big win, before Dublin finally built up a head of steam with four points on the bounce – two each from Tyrrell and Rowe. Armagh’s Kelly Mallon and Laois’ Sarah-Anne Fitzgerald traded points early on before the Ulster county pulled away at Laois Hire O’Moore Park.
it came after they intercepted a Laois kick-out and quickly went for the jugular. Caitríona O’Hagan played it across to McCoy inside, and she managed to get enough of a palm to it to trickle the ball home. Armagh responded positively to that goal with points from O’Hagan, Lavery and McCoy to regain control.
It was a much changed Donegal side from that which went down to Waterford in the league. Former All Star Niamh Hegarty and Karen Guthrie have returned to the Donegal squad for the championship and they were joined for this opener by another former All Star, Geraldine McLaughlin, who came on after the restart.
