Gavin sticks with same XV for Kildare showdown

Last year’s Leinster champions face the Lilywhites at Croke Park on Sunday.

DUBLIN MANAGER JIM Gavin has picked the same team which started against Westmeath for Sunday’s Leinster SFC semi-final clash with neighbours Kildare.

With no injuries to worry about, the reigning Leinster champions will go into the game at Croke Park unchanged.

That means four players who made their senior championship debuts on June 1 – full-back Jonny Cooper, left corner-back Darren Daly, left half-back Jack McCaffrey and right corner-forward Paul Mannion – all retain their places.

Dublin team v Kildare: S Cluxton (c); D Daly, R O’Carroll, J Cooper; J McCarthy, G Brennan, J McCaffrey; M D MacAuley, C O’Sullivan; P Flynn, C Kilkenny, D Connolly; P Mannion, P Andrews, B Brogan.
