Westmeath player chosen on Team of the League
The Teams of the 2025 Lidl National Football Leagues – selected by the Ladies Gaelic Football Association’s All-Star committee – have been revealed.
Westmeath's Anna Jones has been selected at left half-forward on the Division 2 team. Jones, who plays her club football for Mullingar Shamrocks, has been a key figure for Westmeath in recent years.
The Division 2 selection is dominated by champions Galway, who have nine players chosen, included Kate Slevin, who has previously starred for Athlone Town in soccer.
There are four players on the team from Division 2 runners-up Cork, and one each from Donegal and Westmeath.
Westmeath managed to retain their place in Division 2, thanks to victories over Roscommon and Monaghan, and Frank Browne's charges are now preparing for the Leinster and All-Ireland championships at intermediate level.
Division 1 champions Kerry, who won a record 13th title at Croke Park on April 12, lead the way on the top-flight selection, with eight players included. Runners-up Armagh, who won the title in 2024, have four players selected, while Waterford’s impressive campaign has been rewarded with the inclusion of two players. The remaining spot on the team goes to Dublin’s Leah Caffrey.
The Division 3 Team of the League sees champions Cavan and runners-up Wexford share the spoils with six players each included. And in Division 4, champions Antrim are represented with seven players, followed by four from runners-up Fermanagh, while beaten semi-finalists Sligo and Leitrim are also acknowledged for their efforts.
The winners will receive their awards at Croke Park on Friday, May 2.
