Dubs look to bounce back from shock defeat, but holders Armagh come to Parnell Park with 100% record.
This has the makings of a real Saturday afternoon shootout in Donnycarney, with the TG4 cameras there to document it all.
Darnell Parkinson and Joe Feeney will likely be the happier of the two duos, Armagh having opened their league title defence with wins over All-Ireland champions Kerry and Ulster rivals Tyrone.Advertisement Against Kerry in Tralee, they were five points down at half time, and seven in arrears by the 45th minute. Trailing 1-13 to 0-9 entering the final quarter, the visitors produced a remarkable comeback to win on a scoreline of 3-11 to 1-13.
Reel continued her impressive scoring streak, bringing her tally to 0-12 in two games. With Aimee Mackin recovering from her second ACL injury, the Silverbridge star has well and truly stepped up as Armagh’s sharpshooter. Paul Casey and Derek Murray’s reign began with a 2-7 to 1-7 win over Mayo at Parnell Park a fortnight ago — former Bohemians and Ireland U19 midfielder Chloe Darby and Rebecca McDonnell with the goals — but last Sunday’s defeat to Kildare was a shock.The Lilywhites stunned them at Hawkfield, triumphing 1-8 to 0-8 in difficult conditions. Despite doing their utmost, Rowe and fellow half-time substitute Kate Sullivan couldn’t rescue the new-look side as an early Kildare goal proved the difference.
But Armagh will be hell-bent on keeping their 100% record intact, themselves and Meath the only sides with two wins from two.Last year’s league clash was effectively a dead rubber: Armagh were final bound and made wholesale changes. Dublin looked set to miss out, and hammered them 7-10 to 1-4 in vain.
