JIM GAVIN HAS named an unchanged starting side, as Dublin prepare to do battle with Tyrone in their All-Ireland SFC semi-final tomorrow.
There was plenty of discussion during the week surrounding Diarmuid Connolly’s return, and whether he should start or not, but he’s been held in reserve.
The St Vincent’s man’s 12-week suspension runs out tonight.
Gavin has stuck to his guns, and announced that the same starting fifteen who saw off Monaghan in the quarter-final will take to the field in Croke Park tomorrow (throw-in 4pm, live on RTÉ and Sky Sports).
Eric Lowndes slots into the half-forward line, while Jack McCaffrey retreats to the half-backs.
