The Waterford Ladies put their 100% record in this season’s LIDL
National Football League on the line when they make the long trek to Fermanagh
to play the host team on Sunday next. Both teams have started the league with
contrasting fortunes, Waterford had a one point win over Tipperary in their
opening game and followed it up with a good win away to Offaly in round 2.
Fermanagh on the other hand saw their first game against Leitrim postponed and
an under-strength squad suffered a very heavy defeat against Tipperary in
Bansha last time out.
The teams have met regularly in the league in the past with honours
pretty even with never more than three points between the teams. Their last
meeting in the championship was in 2014 when Fermanagh, powered by Caroline Little
ended Waterford’s hopes in a quarter final defeat. Waterford’s confidence
should be high for the match and have the fire-power to record a third
successive win in the league.
Throw-in is at 2:00 at a Fermanagh venue to be confirmed during the week
with Gus Chapman in charge of proceedings.

guidance of team manager Ciara Dunphy and will be sharp and focussed for the
championship. The team has a number of last year’s squad who went so close to
winning Munster being beaten in an epic final replay by Tipperary, the eventual
All –Ireland champions, in extra time. Details of venue will be available on
WLRFM sports and Waterford Ladies Football Twitter page when it becomes
available.
