JIM GAVIN MAKES nine changes to his Dublin side for this afternoon’s Super 8s clash against Roscommon in Croke Park (throw-in 3.30pm).

With one eye on their All-Ireland semi-final against Galway next Saturday, the Dubs boss takes the opportunity to rest a number of his regular starters and give others some game time.

Mick Fitzsimons, Eric Lowndes, Darren Daly, Paul Flynn, Michael Darragh Macauley, Eoghan O’Gara, Cormac Costello, Kevin McManamon and Paddy Andrews are all named to start.

Of the team which started against Tyrone in Omagh a fortnight ago, Jonny Cooper, Eoin Murchan, John Small, Jack McCaffrey, Brian Fenton, Brian Howard, Con O’Callaghan, Ciarán Kilkenny and Dean Rock all come out of the starting lineup.
