HOLDERS ARMAGH WILL begin the defence of their Lidl Ladies National Football League Division 1 crown with a glamour clash against TG4 All-Ireland champions Kerry on the opening weekend of the 2025 campaign.
Armagh will make the trip to the Kingdom on Saturday 25 January for a live TV clash on TG4 (3pm), in what will be a repeat of last year’s Division 1 league final between the counties.
Armagh won on that occasion at Croke Park but when the sides met again later in the season, at the semi-final stage championship, it was Kerry who prevailed in Tullamore before they annexed a first All-Ireland senior title since 1993.
Division 1 also contains Leinster trio Dublin, Kildare (2024 Division 2 champions) and Meath, along with newly-promoted Tyrone, who were 2024 Division 2 finalists, Mayo and Waterford.
