Laois and Tipperary meet in Callan, where the winners will be assured of Senior Championship fare again next year.
Both of these counties survived last year following relegation clashes, Tipperary getting the better of Waterford in a free-kick shoot-out, as Laois overcame Cavan.
It’s another battle to avoid the drop for both counties and on all known form, Tipp will start as favourites.
The Premier County drew with Armagh and lost out to Meath in the group stages, as Laois suffered heavy losses to Cork and Galway.
Tipp are unchanged following the Meath defeat, as Laois make two changes to the team that lost out to Galway.
Eimear Barry returns between the sticks ahead of Naomi Luttrell, as Aerin Ryle earns a start in defence, with Ciara Malone dropping out.
 
Laois: E Barry; K Jacob, S Farrelly, G Lalor; M Cotter, A Moore, L Kearney; A Moran, A Fitzpatrick; K Donoghue, A Ryle, G Moran; M Nerney (capt.), O Hennessey, E Lacey.
 
Tipperary: L Fitzpatrick; E Kelly, L Spillane, E Cronin; C O’Dwyer, M Curley (capt.), S English; L Morrissey, A.R. Kennedy; C English, A Moloney, E Morrissey; M Creedon, A McGuigan, E McCarthy.
