THERE is a strong Ulster representation across all four selections from the Lidl Ladies National Football Leagues, with Division One champions Meath leading the way in the Division 1 selection.

Beaten finalists Donegal have four players honoured, 2021 winners Dublin have three players in the team, while there’s one player from Mayo on the selection.

There are three survivors from the 2021 Lidl NFL Division 1 Team of the League named again in 2022, with Donegal pair Evelyn McGinley and Karen Guthrie honoured along with Dublin’s Hannah Tyrrell.

Joining McGinley and Guthrie on the team from Donegal are Nicole McLaughlin and team captain Niamh McLaughlin, while Leah Caffrey and Orlagh Nolan are the other Dublin players acknowledged.

It’s Meath, however, who lead the way after their Lidl NFL Division 1 Final victory over Donegal, with goalkeeper Monica McGuirk joined on the team by Mary Kate Lynch, team captain Shauna Ennis, Emma Troy, Orlagh Lally, Vikki Wall and Emma Duggan.

When Meath won the Division 2 title in 2021, they had eight players selected on the second-tier selection, including McGuirk, Troy, Wall and Duggan.

In the 2022 Division 2 selection, Finalists Kerry and Armagh have six players each named.

Champions Kerry are represented by Kayleigh Cronin, Cáit Lynch, Aishling O’Connell, Lorraine Scanlon, captain Anna Galvin and free-scoring forward Louise Ní Mhuircheartaigh.

The Rossies have six players named, including captain Laura Fleming, and there are four Wexford players in the selection.

Kildare, beaten semi-finalists, have three players selected, while Down, who also reached the last four, have two players in the team.

The Lidl NFL Division 4 team includes six players from champions Offaly, including Final Player of the Match, Elle McEvoy.
