DUBLIN HAVE NAMED a new look starting XV for their Allianz National Football League Division 1 fixture against Cork.
Manager Pat Gilroy has made wholesale changes to the team which was comprehensively beaten 0-20 to 0-08 by Mayo in Castlebar last weekend as seven players come in for Sunday’s trip to Pairc Ui Chaoimh.
Michael Savage starts in goal in place of Stephen Cluxton and Philly McMahon and Johnny Cooper replace Ger Brennan and Darren Daly in defence.
Eamon Fennell and Sean Murray make up a new midfield partnership while, in attack, Craig Dias and Davy Byrne get the nod.
