TG4 Munster Senior Championship – Final
Kerry v Waterford; Kilmallock GAA, Limerick, 2pm – Live on Spórt TG4 YouTube
Kerry are going in search of a third successive title, as Waterford look to end a provincial famine dating back to 2002.
Since that last win, the Déise have contested finals in 2003, 2006, 2007, 2017, 2019 and 2025, coming up short on each occasion.
Last year’s defeat to Kerry cut deep, as Waterford were in front for long spells before a late Mary O’Connell goal helped earn victory for the Kingdom.
But the omens are good for Waterford ahead of this one as they’ve won both competitive outings against Kerry in 2026 – a Lidl National League Division 1 round tie and, more recently, a round-robin fixture in the Munster Championship.
Indeed, Waterford went three from three in the group phase, with victories over Cork and Tipperary also secured.
Kerry booked their place in the final by getting past Cork last time out – and they’re unchanged for this decider.
Waterford have made two changes to the team that started against Tipperary in their previous outing, with captain Emma Murry and Maeve Daly handed starts, as Chloe Fennell and Clare Walsh drop to the bench.
KERRY: M E Bolger; R Rahilly, D Kearney, E Lynch; A O’Connell, E Costello, A Dillane; A Galvin, M O’Connell; N Carmody, N Ní Chonchúir, C Evans; J Lucey, L McMahon, S O’Shea (capt.).
WATERFORD: K Gardner; C Murray, L Mulcahy, R Browne; A McGrath, R Casey, K McGrath; E Murray (capt.), E Power; Á O’Neill, K Hogan, K Murray; M Daly, B McMaugh, L McGregor.
