Two teams qualify for the quarter-finals with the group winners earning a home fixture. Even though they've a good recent league record against Meath, they haven't beaten the Leinster team in the summer since the 2006 All-Ireland quarter-final replay when goals from Gillian Joyce and Edel Concannon secured a 2-10 to 0-15 win in Breffni Park.
Meath's last success over Galway was in 2022 when a late Emma Duggan point for the reigning All-Ireland champions saw them come through a last eight tie by 1-12 to 1-11. Leading up to the game, Galway manager Daniel Moynihan has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly and first they looked back on last month's provincial decider win over Mayo....
