Meath ladies set for trip to Sligo

Following an impressive opening against Offaly at Pairc Tailteann on Sunday last Meath travel to Sligo today for the rescheduled Ladies NFL Div 3 game against the hosts.

Another win will set Meath up nicely for a title challenge again, but they will be without the injured Vikki Wall.

Sligo scored 4-8 against Longford last Sunday but still ended up losing, but that tally should provide the Yeats Countywomen  with room for optimism as they prepare for the visit of Meath to Cloonacool Community Park.

The Royal County enjoyed an historic outing at Páirc Tailteann last Sunday, as part of a double-header with their male counterparts.

Meath beat Offaly by 5-17 to 1-6 to get their season off to a flying start – and they can move to the top of the table with a victory over Sligo.

Meath were beaten Division 3 Finalists last year and have their sights set on promotion this time.

This fixture also pits two teams who will feature heavily in the race for TG4 All-Ireland Intermediate championship glory later this year.

Meath lost to Tyrone in the 2017 Final, while Sligo suffered a semi-final loss against the Red Hands.
