DUBLIN HAVE RUNG the changes ahead of tomorrow night’s Electric Ireland Leinster minor football semi-final against Offaly in Tullamore.

There are five changes from the team which had three points to spare against Meath in their quarter-final clash back in May.

Na Fianna’s Eoin Murchan comes in at corner-back in place of Declan Monahan while Naomh Mearnóg’s Aodhán Fee starts at right half-back with Andrew McGowan losing out in the reshuffle.

In attack Warren Egan is named at wing-forward while Aaron Byrne and Chris Sallier have been handed starting berths in the corner-forward positions. Conor Kavanagh, Brian Howard and Rian McBride are the three players who are replaced.

McBride, midfielder Eoghan McHugh and full-forward Con O’Callaghan all started for Dublin in last Sunday’s Leinster minor hurling final.

Offaly’s only change comes in goal where Cain Brereton replaces Jamie Colgan.

Throw-in at O’Connor Park tomorrow is 7.30pm.
