Two changes for Dublin but Monaghan unchanged ahead of quarter-final

The pair go head to head in Croke Park on Saturday.

DUBLIN HAVE MADE two changes to the XV that started their Leinster final win over Meath as they prepare to take on Monaghan in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter-final at Croke Park on Saturday evening.

Na Fianna’s Jonny Cooper comes into the half-back line while Eoghan O’Gara is named at full forward in place of Kilmacud Crokes’ Paul Mannion.

Mannion was replaced by Cormac Costello at half-time in the Leinster final while O’Gara bagged 1-1 following his 49th minute introduction.

Malachy O’Rourke, however, has kept faith with the same players that started Monaghan’s extra-time win over Kildare last weekend.

Throw in on Saturday is 6pm.
