EOGHAN O’GARA WILL start at full-forward for Dublin in Sunday’s Leinster football final against Kildare.
Jim Gavin’s only personnel change to the side which walloped Westmeath sees O’Gara handed his first start of the summer, with Jonny Cooper the man to drop out of the starting XV.
The Dublin team as named shows a host of positional changes from the Leinster semi-final. Eric Lowndes returns to corner-back, James McCarthy drops back to more familiar surroundings in the half-back line after starting Dublin’s first two championship outings in midfield, and instead, Ciarán Kilkenny is named to partner Brian Fenton in the middle.
Niall Scully, Paul Mannion and Con O’Callaghan make up the half-forward line, with O’Gara slotting in between Paddy Andrews and Dean Rock in the full-forwards.
