Ger Brennan has named his starting line-up for his first competitive outing since taking the reins as Dublin senior football manager.

The Dubs play Donegal tomorrow at Croke Park (5pm) in the teams’ Allianz Football League Division 1 opener and Brennan has handed debuts in defence to Robert Shaw and Eoin Kennedy for the clash against the Ulster champions.

Castleknock’s Shaw starts at right half-back while Kennedy (Cuala) is named at left half-back, with new names such as Kevin Stephenson (Castleknock), Jack Lundy (Ballinteer St John’s), Paidi White and Seán Guiden (St Sylvester’s) listed among the capital men’s substitutes.

Evan Comerford returns between the posts while Tom Lahiff and Ethan Dunne start and centre-field and Con O’Callaghan leads the attack from full-forward.
