The Dublin team which will take on Cork in phase 1 of the Super 8s this evening has been named.
Injury deprives Jim Gavin of the services of James McCarthy and the Ballymun Kickhams clubman is replaced in midfield by Michael Darragh Macauley.
Elsewhere, there are no changes from the starting 15 that inflicted a 1-17 to 0-4 defeat on Meath in the Leinster SFC final which means that Dean Rock – who scored 0-4 as a substitute against the Royals – will, once again, have to be content with a place on the bench.
Dublin (SF v Cork) – Stephen Cluxton; David Byrne, Michael Fitzsimons, Philip McMahon; Jack McCaffrey, Cian O’Sullivan, John Small; Brian Fenton, Michael Darragh Macauley; Niall Scully, Cormac Costello, Brian Howard; Ciaran Kilkenny, Paul Mannion, Con O’Callaghan.
