Ger Cunningham names youthful team for Dublin's league opener against Tipp

The Dubs are in Thurles this evening.

DUBLIN MANAGER GER Cunningham has named a new-look line-up for his sideโ€™s Allianz Hurling League opener against Tipperary this evening.

With several experienced members of the panel unavailable through injury, Cunninghamโ€™s hand has been forced for the Division 1A clash at Semple Stadium.

Long-term absentees Paul Schutte, Ryan Oโ€™Dwyer, Peter Kelly and Niall Corcoran are all unavailable while Liam Rushe is suspended and Shane Durkin is instead togging out for Ballyboden St Endaโ€™s in their All-Ireland club semi-final.

It means Eoghan Oโ€™Donnell will start at right half-back in a youthful line alongside Chris Crummey and Shane Barrett.

Paul Ryan, Eamonn Dillon and Cualaโ€™s David Treacy will hope to continue their impressive early season form.

The action gets underway in Thurles at 7pm.

Dublin (v Tipperary):

1. Conor Dooley (Ballyboden St Endaโ€™s)

2. Joey Boland (Na Fianna)
3. Cian Oโ€™Callaghan (Cuala)
4. Oisรญn Gough (Cuala)

5. Eoghan Oโ€™Donnell (Whitehall Colmcille)
6. Chris Crummey (Lucan Sarsfields)
7. Shane Barrett (Na Fianna)

8. Niall McMorrow (Ballyboden St Endaโ€™s)
9. Johnny McCaffrey (Lucan Sarsfields)

10. Daire Plunkett (St Brigidโ€™s)
11. Eamonn Dillon (Nh Fionnbarra)
12. David Treacy (Cuala)

13. Paul Ryan (Ballyboden St Endaโ€™s)
