No place for MDMA as Gavin names Dublin team for All-Ireland clash with Mayo

The former Footballer of the Year loses out with Brian Fenton and Denis Bastick starting in midfield.

DUBLIN MANAGER JIM Gavin has gone with the team which dismantled Fermanagh in the last-eight for Sunday’s All-Ireland senior football championship semi-final at Croke Park (3.30pm).
