Senior footballers make one change for duel with Tyrone

Fri, 10th February 2017

Dublin have made one change to their team for Saturday night's NFL Division 1 clash against Tyrone in Croke Park (7.0).

Eoghan O'Gara comes into the attack at full-forward. The powerful Templeogue Synge St man was introduced as a second half sub for the Dubs in last Sunday's victory over Cavan in Breffni Park.

This will be the first clash between Dublin and Tyrone since the 2015 League when they drew (1-9 to 0-12) in Croke Park. Dublin also won in 2014 (3-10 to 1-15).

The sides clashed twice in 2013, with Tyrone winning the group game by 0-18 to 1-14 before Dublin turned the tables in the final (0-18 to 0-17).
