Galway senior camogie manager Cathal Murray has made two changes to his team ahead of their second All-Ireland championship round-robin fixture against Waterford on Saturday (16th June).
Dual star Caitriona Cormican and Sarsfields captain Orlaith McGrath come into the starting line-up instead of Niamh Kilkenny and Niamh Hanniffy.

Kilkenny picked up a thumb injury her player of the match performance against Clare last Saturday (9th June). And goal scorer Hanniffy in that 1-16 to 0-9 victory also picked up a knock and both are rested though they are named on the bench if required.
Another positive result will put one foot into the knock out series and the Tribeswomen will be strong favourites having trounced the Deise 5-28 to 1-10 in 2017 thanks to goals from Finola Keely and two each for Ailish O’Reilly and Noreen Coen.
Another noteworthy positional move sees Heather Cooney named at centre back with Shauna Healy dropping back to the corner.
