Dublin Team Named For Sunday's All-Ireland Final

Jim Gavin has named his starting team for Sunday's All-Ireland final against Mayo.

It features no changes from the team which started the semi-final against Tyrone on August 27th. Eric Lowndes was initially named in the starting team to play Tyrone. However, Niall Scully replaced him prior to throw-in.

Of course, there is every chance that Gavin will again make changes prior to tomorrow's game. For the last three weeks, there has been much speculation about whether or nor Diarmuid Connolly - arguably the best player in the county - would start the game. At the moment, the St. Vincent's man will have to make do with a place on the bench.
