The TG4 Championship got underway yesterday. Four teams from the province were in action with wins for Monaghan and Antrim.
Monaghan, beaten by Cavan in the Ulster semi-final, got revenge when they emerged 2-11 to 1-13 victors at St Tiernach’s Park in Clones.
A goal from Aishling Sheridan helped Cavan lead by 1-8 to 1-2 at the break, with Éabha Sherry converting a 12th minute penalty for Monaghan.
Sherry got her second goal of the match after 40 minutes and with interval substitute Holly McQuaid hitting 0-5, four of them from play, Monaghan edged out their neighbours to claim victory.
Westmeath, who defeated Laois in the TG4 Leinster IFC final, got their championship campaign off to a winning start when they defeated Down by 2-9 to 1-10 at Ballynacargy.
Westmeath, with Caoimhe Kilmurray and Sarah Dillon prominent, led by 2-5 to 0-6 at the end of the opening half.
Down hit back with a goal from Niamh Rice early in the second half but Westmeath, with goalkeeper Aoife Temple saving a penalty, held on for victory.
Meanwhile, the race for TG4 All-Ireland junior title also got under way this weekend with Sligo repeating their group win over Derry last year with a 2-11 to 2-4 win in Owenbeg.
Limerick scored a facile win over Kilkenny while Antrim also proved far too strong for Longford winning 4-15 to 0-5.
The TG4 Championship gets underway this weekend with four Ulster sides in action.
First up is the meeting of Monaghan and Cavan in Clones at 1-30pm on Sunday. This is a repeat of the Ulster semi final which the Breffni ladies won. It is also a curtain raiser to the Monaghan v Clare game.
Staying with the intermediate championship and Down will travel to Ballynacargy to play Westmeath. Throw in for that one is 2pm.
In the junior championship both Derry and Antrim are in action. The Oak Leaf girls take on Sligo in Owenbeg while the saffrons are on the road, playing Longford at Pearse Park. Both games throw in at 2pm.
