Former All-Ireland SHC medallist Leahy has axed Mairead Morrissey, vice-captain Jennifer Grant, Kelly Hackett, Samantha Lambert and Patricia Hickey ahead of the Tesco Homegrown Ladies NFL Division 3 semi-final against Armagh on April 27. Morrissey is a 2013 All Star nominee and Grant starred for University of Limerick during their march to O’Connor Cup glory last month.

Leahy made his decision to remove the five players from his squad after reportedly receiving criticism from them about training methods.
