JAMES MCCARTHY IS the one change from Dublin’s comprehensive Leinster final victory against Meath, as Jim Gavin’s men prepare for their Super 8s opener against Cork later this evening [throw-in 7pm].
Michael Darragh-MacAuley takes his place in the middle of the park alongside Brian Fenton, with the remainder of Gavin’s starting XV the same as last month’s 16-point Leinster final win against the Royals.
Jonny Cooper is still recovering from a foot injury, but could make an appearance off the bench. The 29-year-old defender has not featured for the All-Ireland champions in four months, last lining out against Tyrone on 16 March in the Allianz Football League.

James McCarthy the only change as Dublin prepare for Super 8s opener against Cork
JAMES MCCARTHY IS the one change from Dublin’s comprehensive Leinster final victory against Meath, as Jim Gavin’s men prepare for their Super 8s opener against Cork later this evening [throw-in 7pm].
The Ballymun Kickhams man limped off after half an hour against Meath three weeks ago with a knee injury. While the setback is not as serious as initially feared, McCarthy will not start today’s game in midfield.
