Senior footballers make four changes for league decider

Sat, 8th April 2017

The Dublin team to face Kerry in Sunday's NFL Division 1 final at Croke Park (4.0) shows four changes from the side that defeated Monaghan last weekend.

Darren Daly comes into the defence at left full-back with Cian O'Sullivan at centre-back.

The other alterations are in the Dublin attack with Diarmuid Connolly and Bernard Brogan adding experience, physicality and firepower to the forward division.

The four players not starting who began against the Farney County are David Byrne, Kevin McManamon, Niall Scully and Conor McHugh.

Nine of Sunday's starters began in the drawn encounter (0-13 each) when the counties played their league regulation game in Tralee on St Patrick's weekend - Stephen Cluxton, Darren Daly, Philly McMahon, Michael Fitzsimons, Eric Lowndes, Brian Fenton, Ciaran Kilkenny, Dean Rock and Paddy Andrews.

Ten of Sunday's starting 15 for the Kingdom lined out at the start that night - Brendan Kealy, Mark Griffin, Ronan Shanahan, Peter Crowley, Tadhg Crowley, David Moran, Paul Murphy, Donnchadh Walsh, Paul Geaney and Kevin McCarthy.
