Liam Rushe returns for Walsh Cup decider

Sat, 30th January 2016

Dublin make seven changes to their starting 15 from the semi-final for Saturday's Bord na Móna Walsh Cup final against Wexford in Croke Park (5.0).

Liam Rushe returns to centre-back after missing out on the semi-final victory over Galway while Cian McBride and Darragh O'Connell form a new midfield axis.

Up front Cian's younger brother Rian, Eamonn Dillion, who made an impressive influence off the bench against the Tribesmen, starts at wing-forward while Paul Ryan and Mark Schutte form a formidable full-forward line alongside Fionntán Mac Gib.

On Sunday the Dublin senior hurlers face the Dublin Bus/Herald Dubs Stars in the annual challenge in Glenablyn, Kilmacud Crokes (12.30).
