Galway and Armagh announce sides for All-Ireland quarter-finals
Galway's team is unchanged from last Sunday's victory over Down with Conor Flaherty again named in goal and Shane Walsh, who departed with an injury in Newry, selected at full-forward.
Jack Glynn, Peter Cooke, Johnny Heaney, and Damien Comer front a strong list of substitutes for the game against Meath on Sunday, (1.45pm, RTÉ 2).
Armagh are back in action on Sunday when they face Kerry, (4pm, RTÉ 2), for the first time since their round-robin loss against Galway two weeks ago, having already secured top spot before that game.
Ben Crealey, Rory Grugan, and Oisín Conaty all return to the starting line-up, while Cian McConville, Jason Duffy, and Conor Turbitt are named on the bench.
Monaghan have named Jack McCarron and Gavin McPhillips to start for tomorrow's qurter-final against Donegal, (4pm, GAA+).
Killian Lavelle and Stephen Mooney move to the bench, while Gary Mohan is a notable inclusion amongst the replacements.

Gutsy Ireland hold Germany to draw but unable to reach EuroHockey semi-finals
Ireland 0 Germany 0 IRELAND PRODUCED AN impressive performance to hold Germany to a draw in their final pool stage match but were unable to progress to the EuroHockey semi-finals. Playing against the tournament hosts, and world number six side, Ireland needed a two-goal win in order to advance in Monchengladbach. They fell short after creating several chances throughout the clash. Mikayla Power won a penalty corner which was well saved and cleared before Emily Kealy advanced to win a penalty stroke in the first quarter. Advertisement Hannah McLoughlin stepped up to take the set piece, and saw her effort saved by Julia Sonntag. Ireland had another penalty corner in the closing minutes of the opening quarter, but McLoughlin was denied again. FULL TIME: IRL 0 - 0 GER An immense effort from our IRL Women in our final pool stage match. The better side on the night, but we settle for a draw against the hosts. The result sees our IRL Women progress to the Crossover matches where we will meet Scotland and England in our… — Hockey Ireland (@irishhockey) August 13, 2025 Ireland maintained their intensity in the second quarter, creating plenty of chances from turnovers. But a strong German defence kept them at bay as the sides went into the half-time break on level terms. Germany were reduced to 10 players with a green card after a foul on Sarah McAuley. And while Ireland made use of the numerical advantage, Germany broke through for a shot on goal which was saved by Elizabeth Murphy. Two late green cards for Ireland's Roisin Upton and Niamh Carey meant Ireland were down two players for the remaining minutes but the tie was still scoreless by the end of the third quarter. Ireland continued to hunt down the two-goal target but were unable to break the deadlock in the final quarter. They will now play Scotland and England in two final crossover matches in Monchengladbach to close out their EuroHockey Championship 2025 campaign. 'We went toe-to-toe with Germany in front of a home crowd,' Ireland Head Coach Gareth Grundie said after the game. 'We certainly had our opportunities; I think if one had gone in in the first quarter it certainly would have put them under pressure. 'I think the damage was probably already done on Monday against France. If we had come out of that game with a result, then Germany needing to win tonight would have given us a real opportunity.'
