Meath v Dublin, Croke Park, 4.15pm
Orlagh Nolan is named to start in the Dublin team.
Nolan's 2024 season was cruelly cut short by an ACL injury sustained before the quarter-final clash with Galway but she returned against the same opposition in the recent semi-final – and performed well in a substitute's role as the Sky Blues won a dramatic game after extra-time.
She comes in for Caoimhe O'Connor, who sustained a hamstring injury against Galway last time out.
That's the only change in personnel from the semi-final, with Meath opting for an unchanged starting line-up.
However, there may be a change in personnel for the Royal County, as key defender Katie Newe was forced off with a knee injury during the semi-final win against Kerry.
Dublin won the most recent competitive clash between them, in the 2025 TG4 Leinster final.
Meath's last victory against their old rivals was in a National League Division 1 group game – while the Royals last achieved a championship win against Dublin in 2022, in Leinster.
The counties have not met in the All-Ireland series since the dramatic 2021 All-Ireland final.
Dublin are readying themselves for the 14th Senior final in the county's history – and a win for the Sky Blues would hand them a seventh All-Ireland crown. They were previous winners in 2010, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2023.
Dublin: A Shiels; J Tobin, L Caffrey, N Donlon; S Goldrick, M Byrne, N Crowley; É O'Dowd, H McGinnis; N Owens, C Rowe (capt), O Nolan; H Tyrrell, N Hetherton, K Sullivan.
Meath: R Murray; Á Sheridan, MK Lynch, K Newe; A Cleary (capt), S Wall, K Kealy; O Sheehy, M Farrelly; M Thynne, N Gallogly, C Smyth; E Duggan, V Wall, K Cole.

Teehan and Leahy fire Offaly back to senior camogie with victory over Kerry
All-Ireland Intermediate Camogie Championship final: Offaly 0-14 Kerry 0-11 The accurate shooting of Grace Teehan and Clodagh Leahy proved decisive in Offaly recording victory in the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland intermediate final against Kerry. With the game finely poised in the closing exchanges, Teehan and Leahy helped guide Offaly back to senior camogie once again. It was an encounter that Offaly deserved to win but made heavy weather of it in a game that never rose to any great heights. Kerry wasted a gilt-edged goal chance that would have put them a point up late on, but they made too many basic errors to have deserved victory despite the best efforts of Patrice Diggin and Caoimhe Spillane. Offaly started brightly in this tightly contested encounter, with Clodagh Leahy making an immediate impact. She opened the scoring after just 20 seconds and quickly followed up with two well-taken frees from 45 metres, giving her side a 0-3 to 0-0 lead after four minutes. Kerry responded through Diggin, who converted a 21-metre free, before Mairead Teahan extended Offaly's advantage once more. Diggin kept Kerry in touch with another free, and Jackie Horgan's fine finish after a driving run from Ellen O'Donoghue reduced the gap to a single point by the 10th minute. Kerry drew level on 16 minutes via Diggin's long-range free, but Leahy's accuracy from placed balls restored Offaly's edge. Grace Teahan stretched the lead to two before Kate Lynch struck from distance to keep Kerry in contention with 24 minutes on the clock. Diggin's fourth free of the half brought the sides level again at 0-6 apiece after 27 minutes. Offaly pushed back ahead with points from Grace Teahan and Ellen Regan, making it 0-8 to 0-6, but Kerry's persistence was rewarded just before the break when Diggin scored from play to leave the minimum between the teams at the break. The second half began slowly, with the first score not arriving until the 39th minute when Patrice Diggin levelled the tie at 0-8 apiece with a well-struck 45. Grace Teehan quickly nudged Offaly back in front before Clodagh Leahy, reliable from placed balls all day, extended the lead from close range. Kerry threatened a breakthrough when Jackie Horgan's goal attempt was saved by Emer Reynolds, with the follow-up also denied, but Ellen O'Donoghue managed to slot over a point to narrow the gap. Leahy and Diggin exchanged scores before Grace Teehan restored a two-point cushion for Offaly in the 57th minute. A long-range Leahy free in the 59th minute pushed the lead to three, and a close-range Grace Teehan free deep into injury time effectively sealed the win. Diggin's final free reduced the deficit, but Offaly's composure and accurate shooting, particularly from Leahy and Teehan, proved decisive. Kerry battled hard and created goal chances, but Offaly's defensive resilience and clinical finishing ensured they took the points in a well-fought encounter. Scorers for Offaly: C Leahy (0-7, 4f, 1 45'), G Teehan (0-5, 1f), M Teehan, E Regan (0-1 each) Scorers for Kerry: P Diggin (0-8, 6f, 1 45'), J Horgan, K Lynch, E O'Donoghue (0-1 each) OFFALY: E Reynolds; S Shanahan, A Byrne, M King; O Phelan, R Kinsella, A Liffey; C Cleary, C Leahy; G Teehan, C Maher, F Dooley; E Regan, M Teehan, K Pilkington.

Late Daly goal helps Laois down Armagh to win junior final
Laois are the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Premier Junior Camogie champions, banishing the heartache of last year, courtesy of a 2-15 to 0-12 win over Armagh. It is a third defeat for Armagh in the decider since their triumph in 2020 and there were periods when it looked like they would get over the line this time. Once Laois solved the conundrum of Eimear Hayes cutting out so many of their deliveries and getting passages of play going that led to Rachael Merry and Sinéad Quinn being such a threat, they began to get a real toehold in proceedings, however. The unrelated Delaneys, Gráinne and Susie were outstanding, the latter on a day her aunt, Jovita was being honoured as part of the Tipperary jubilee team. Aimee Collier, who had endured a tough day from placed balls 12 months ago, was unerring this time around, and apart from finishing with seven points, her ball-winning and offloading when moved to the wing was pivotal. The final piece of the jigsaw was the impact off the bench, as minor recruit Amy Daly rattled the net in the 50th minute. Lucy Conroy had pointed earlier, her piledriver glancing off the upright. It was the best possible start in the game for the side managed by Pat Collier and Rob Jones, when Gráinne Delaney goaled after 54 seconds. The Camross attacker and official player of the match was set free by Susie Delaney and with her marker seemingly expecting her to cut back onto her left immediately, she drove directly into space before firing off the ciotóg to the net. Eimear Hassett pointed sweetly immediately after but a converted free by Rachael Merry settled Armagh. PJ O'Mullan's crew hit seven of the next eight points to move two clear. Merry slotted two frees either side of an excellent score from Niamh Forker to draw level. After Collier split the posts from a free at the other end, Merry's two frees were followed up by an outstanding effort from Quinn, whose mother Geraldine Haughey was All-Ireland winner in the orange and white when Galway were defeated in a replay in 1993. It was Laois' turn to hit a purple patch though with three points from inspirational skipper Clodagh Tynan, Collier (free) and Gráinne Delaney to edge their noses in front before Merry restored parity just before the interval. The Orchard outfit enjoyed the ideal resumption, Quinn taking a pass from Merry to raise a white flag and Corinna Doyle striking the game's marquee point, leaving a trail of Laois defenders in her wake under the Hogan Stand before hitting the target from wide on the right and just inside the 45. That made it 0-10 to 1-5 and just 33 minutes elapsed but that was as good as it got for Armagh as Laois found another couple of gears. An unbroken run of a goal and six points enabled them to overhaul their valiant opponents and establish enough of a lead that given the flow of play as the game evolved, just did not look likely to be reeled in. Collier, Kaylee O'Keeffe and Conroy were on target before Daly blasted to the Armagh net. There didn't look loads on, when Susie Delaney sent Collier into the corner. The tall attacker held it up well and looked around, opting for a stick-pass back out the field. It actually overshot the mark a small bit but that proved ideal for Gráinne Delaney, who had open country to use her speed. Suddenly she had created overlap and with the execution of the hand-pass to her young and diminutive teammate perfect, Daly made no mistake with only Ciarrai Devlin to beat. There was no way back from that for Armagh, and though they fought to the end, Merry converting two frees after a glorious Susie Delaney point, it was Collier that had the last say with a point from play and monster of a score from a free before the celebrations kicked into gear. Laois: A Lowry; F Scully, E Conroy, L Finaly; A Walsh, C Tynan (0-01), S Creagh; A Tynan, Líadan C Fennell; G Delaney (1-02), K Keenan, E Hassett (0-01); K O'Keeffe (0-02), A Collier (0-07, 6f), S Delaney (0-01). Subs: L Conroy (0-01) for Keenan (28); A Daly (1-00) for E Hassett (42); L Keyes for Walsh (54); S Jones for Fennell (60+1). Armagh: C Devlin; M O'Hare, G McCann, E Hayes; ML Loughran, M McCone, A McEntee; G Gaffney, C Hill; M O'Callaghan, K Convie, N Forker (0-01); R Merry (0-08, 7f), S Quinn (0-02), C Doyle (0-01).
