Dublin have named the same 15 that started against Galway in the All-Ireland semi final for this Sunday's final against Tyrone.

On that day there were a few late changes made the Dublin side just before throw in. Jim Gavin has opted to remain with that side that started against the Tribesmen three weeks ago. However, there are positional changes throughout the team which are sure to raise eyebrows amongst fans. Veteran defender Jonny Cooper has been listed to play at centre half back on Sunday as James McCarthy is moved to midfield, the position he played in last year's final. The other positional changes in the forward line are Ciaran Kilkenny and Con O'Callaghan. Kilkenny will line out at full forward tomorrow, whilst O'Callaghan reverts back to the number 11 jersey that served him well against Tyrone last year. Dublin:
  1. Stephen Cluxton
  2. Philly McMahon
  3. Cian O’Sullivan
  4. Eoin Murchan
  5. John Small
  6. Jonny Cooper
  7. Jack McCaffrey
  8. Brian Fenton
  9. James McCarthy
  10. Niall Scully
  11. Con O’Callaghan
  12. Brian Howard
  13. Paul Mannion
  14. Ciarán Kilkenny
  15. Dean Rock.
