Galway go in search of a first national ladies football title in 11 years when they clash with Cork in the LIDL National League Division 2 Final on Saturday (12th April 2025).
The Tribeswomen have beaten the Rebelettes in their last two competitive meetings, including last year's All-Ireland semi-final, and their second game in this year's league (2-8 to 0-12) thanks to goals from Leanne Coen and Roisin Leonard.
Both teams have already been promoted to Division 1, but a league title would be a welcome boost for Galway, which beat Westmeath in 2014, the last time they played for Division 2 honours.
