Women’s JFC final: Wicklow are back again and favourites to go one better

Antrim v Wicklow

Croke Park, Sunday 11.45 (TG4)

When they beat Carlow after extra-time in their semi-final last month, Antrim prevented a Leinster clean sweep of the slots in all three All-Ireland finals. Last year it was another Ulster side, Fermanagh, who got the better of Wicklow in the junior final, but Wicklow are back again and favourites to go one better, having beaten Antrim by five points when they met earlier in the championship.

Antrim, though, pushed Wicklow closer than any of their opponents en route to the final and having been favourites to beat Fermanagh last year, they’ll be wary of another set of underdogs from Ulster.

Antrim (v Wicklow): A McCann; D Coleman, A McFarland (capt), N McIntosh; Á Tubridy, M Hanna, M Blaney; E Ferran, C Brown; N Enright, C Carey, G McLaughlin; A Taggart, M Magee, C Taggart.
