Devlin names Louth team to take on Dubs in All-Ireland clash
Gavin Devlin has named his Wee County starting team to face Dublin at Croke Park
Louth senior football manager, Gavin Devlin, has made two changes to the side that started the Leinster semi-final defeat to Dublin ahead of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, Round One clash at Croke Park on Sunday at 2.30pm.
Daire Nally comes into the half-back line to replace Tadhg McDonnell, while Kieran McArdle is named in the full-forward line in place of Ryan Burns, with both moving to the bench.
Burns made an impact the last day out against the Dubs in Leinster when he scored atwo-pointer, while McArdle also contributed 0-1 from the bench.
The remaining starters are retained as Devlin places his faith in the side that fell short in the provincial semi-final.
Meanwhile, Dublin have been handed a major boost with the news that Con O'Callaghan has been named to start.
The Cuala star is listed at centre half-forward in an attack line that also includes Seán Bugler, Niall Scully, Paddy Small and Cormac Costello.
Louth: Niall McDonnell; Emmett Carolan, Dermot Campbell, Donal McKenny; Daire Nally, Dara McDonnell, Craig Lennon; Conor Early, James Maguire; Paul Mathews, Sam Mulroy (c), Conor Grimes; Kieran McArdle, Ciarán Downey, Conall McCaul.
Subs: Tiernan Markey, Ryan Burns, Ciarán Byrne, Seán Callaghan, Tommy Durnin, Leonard Gray, Conor MacCriosta, Tadhg McDonnell, Conall McKeever, Seán Reynolds, Anthony Williams.
