JIM GAVIN HAS named 11 of the team which started last year’s All-Ireland final as Dublin begin their bid to retain Sam Maguire.
Nicky Devereux and Darren Daly are named in the half-back line for Sunday’s Leinster Senior Football Championship quarter-final against Laois, while Alan Brogan and Eoghan O’Gara start in the full-forwards.
Otherwise it’s the same team that lined out in the 2-12 to 1-14 win over Mayo last September, with Daly and O’Gara both coming off the bench that day.
For Laois, Colm Begley returns at wing-back.
Throw-in in Croke Park is at 4pm on Sunday.
