 TG4 Connacht Intermediate Championship Final Roscommon v Sligo, Elvery's MacHale Park, Castlebar, 2pm (Live on Connacht LGFA Roscommon are aiming to defend their TG4 Connacht Intermediate title, after denying Sligo three-in-a-row last year. The sides met recently in the Lidl NFL Division 3 semi-finals, and Sligo came out on top. This one should be another close encounter and it’s a game that Facebook Live viewers can watch on the Connacht LGFA page. Jerome Quinn will be joined in the commentary box at Elvery’s MacHale Park by Leitrim captain Clare Owens. When the sides last met in that League semi-final, Sligo won out by just three points. Katie Walsh scored 1-3 when the counties on that occasion, but she’s no longer on the Sligo panel. Elaine O’Reilly, however, has been in good attacking form for Sligo and will pose a real threat to Roscommon, who had a six-point haul from Laura Fleming in the previous meeting between the counties.  Roscommon (v Sligo): H Cummins; H Ennis, A McLoone, T Murtagh; N Feeney, A Kelly, S Bruen; S Kenny (capt.), L Fleming; S Tully, A Hanmore, N McHugh; R Finan, J Higgins, R Fitzmaurice.  Sligo (v Roscommon): N Gormley; A Morrisroe, M McNamara, J Mulligan (capt.); N Brennan, B Byrne, A.M. Coleman; R Goodwin, L.A. Claffey; C Gorman, L Boles, S Naughton; E O’Reilly, E Keavney, L Casey. TG4 Connacht Senior Championship Final

Mayo v Galway; Elvery's MacHale Park, Castlebar, 4pm (Live on LGFA Facebook.)

Three-in-a-row for Galway – or a first since 2016 for Mayo? All will be revealed at Elvery’s MacHale Park on Sunday when the counties clash in an eagerly-anticipated TG4 Connacht Senior Final. Mayo have kept an extremely low profile since their last competitive outing in April, when they drew with Monaghan in the final round of Lidl NFL Division 1 Fixtures. Galway have since contested a League Final against Cork, which ended in defeat at Parnell Park. The sides last met in the championship at the All-Ireland quarter-final stage last year, when Galway enjoyed a comfortable win. Their most recent meeting was in March, when Galway won by six points in the Lidl National League in Castlebar. Galway have had the Indian sign over Mayo in recent championship matches, and victory on Sunday would hand the Tribeswomen a seventh Provincial senior crown in eight seasons. Fit-again Áine McDonagh, who’s had a difficult run with injuries, returns to the Galway starting line-up, along with Leanne Coen. From the team that started against Cork, Orla Murphy and Sarah Conneally drop to the bench. Sunday’s game, which throws in at 4pm, will be available to view on the LGFA’s Facebook Page,/, with Jerome Quinn on commentary alongside former Mayo boss Frank Browne. Mayo, meanwhile, hand a first start to Sarah Rowe since the counties met in the 2018 TG4 All-Ireland quarter-final. Rowe’s return is one of six changes in personnel from the Monaghan match, with Aisling Tarpey coming in between the sticks for Sorcha Murphy, while Roisin Flynn, Éilis Ronayne, captain Niamh Kelly, her sister Grace Kelly, and Rowe are all handed starting berths. Galway (v Mayo): L Murphy; S Molloy, S Lynch, F Cooney; B Hannon, S Burke, C Cooney; L Ward, Á McDonagh; O Divilly, T Leonard (capt.), M Glynn; L Coen, R Leonard, M Seoighe. Mayo (v Galway): A Tarpey; N O’Malley, R Flynn, D Caldwell; É Ronayne, Ciara McManamon, C Whyte; Clodagh McManamon, S Cafferky; R Durkin, T O’Connor, N Kelly (capt.); S Rowe, R Kearns, G Kelly.
