Ger Cunningham has named his starting 15 for his first competitive game as Dublin senior hurling manager.

The Dubs will take on DIT in the first round of the Walsh Cup in Parnell Park tonight at 7.30pm and the former Cork goalkeeper has decided to mix things up a little by selecting former All-Star centre-back Liam Rushe at full-forward.

Regular full-back Peter Kelly will wear the number six jersey.

Dublin (Walsh Cup v DIT) - Alan Nolan; John McCaffrey, Michael Carton, Shane Barrett; Ben Quinn, Peter Kelly, Simon Lambert; Cian Mac Giolla Bhríde, Daire Plunkett; Conal Keaney, Eamon Dillon, Cian Boland; Paul Ryan, Liam Rushe, Niall McMorrow.
