DUBLIN AND TIPPERARY have kept the faith with their provincial championship winning teams for Saturday’s EirGrid All-Ireland U21 football semi-final.

The Dubs have made no changes from the side that beat Kildare in the Leinster final, while the Premier County are unchanged from their thrilling defeat of Cork in the Munster decider.

The sides will clash on Saturday at O’Connor Park in Tullamore at 4pm, with a place in the All-Ireland final against Tyrone or Roscommon up for grabs.

For Dublin, there are eight survivors from the team that lifted last year’s All-Ireland crown in goalkeeper Lorcan Molloy, full-back David Byrne, the half-back line of Eric Lowndes, Conor Mullally and Ross McGowan, wing-forward Niall Scully, corner-forward Cormac Costello and full-forward Conor McHugh.
