Dublin manager Dessie Farrell has named an unchanged start 15 for today’s Leinster senior football final against Kildare at Croke Park.

The Dubs are bidding for an 11th successive provincial title while their opponents are looking for their first since 2000.

Farrell has stuck with the same side that defeated Meath last time out, which means Brian Fenton and Peadar Ó Cofaigh-Byrne continue their midfield partnership with Ciaran Kilkenny stationed on ‘the 40’ and Con O’Callaghan leading the attack from full-forward.

Throw-in is at 4pm.

Dublin (Leinster SFC final v Kildare): Evan Comerford; Michael Fitzsimons, Davy Byrne, Jonny Cooper; James McCarthy, Brian Howard, Sean McMahon; Brian Fenton, Peadar Ó Cofaigh-Byrne; Paddy Small, Ciaran Kilkenny, Niall Scully, Cormac Costello, Con O’Callaghan, Dean Rock
