Supersub McManamon starts as Dublin boss Gavin make 6 changes for Down clash

The Dubs are much changed as they head north to visit Páirc Esler.

DUBLIN BOSS JIM GAVIN has made six changes in personnel for Saturday’s Allianz Football League Division 1 clash with Down at Páirc Esler.

The defending champions are on the verge of securing a semi-final spot and Gavin has shuffled his pack.

Stephen Cluxton returns in goal ahead of Michael Savage while there are two changes in the half-back line.

Michael Fitzsimons and John Small both appeared as subs in last Saturday’s come from behind victory over Cork at Croke Park – and they start in place of Cian O’Sullivan and Eric Lowndes.

Shane Carthy, also used as a sub against Cork, get the nod at midfield ahead of Emmet O’Conghaile and in the full-forward line, renowned supersub Kevin McManamon and Dean Rock are named ahead of Paddy Andrews and Bernard Brogan.
