GAA team news:Alan Brogan, recalled to the Dublin starting line-up Sunday's Leinster SFC semi-final against Meath, has been handed the captain's armband by manager Pat Gilroy.
With Paul Griffin missing through injury and vice-captain David Henry having to make do with a place on the bench, Brogan will lead the side out at Croke Park.
Gilroy has made four changes from the side given a major scare against Wexford a fortnight ago, bringing Brogan and Tomas Quinn into a revamped attack.
Bryan Cullen is restored to centre half back in place of the suspended Denis Bastick while Ger Brennan comes in of the injured Cian O’Sullivan (hamstring). Rory O’Carroll, who played for the under-21 hurlers in Wednesday night’s Leinster semi-final victory over Kilkenny, retains his place at full back.
Meath manager Eamonn O’Brien has named injury concerns Anthony Moyles and Mark Ward in his starting line-up but a question mark remains over their availability.
With Mickey Burke ruled out for the season after breaking his leg against Laois, Gary O’Brien starts in the half back line while Brendan Murphy deputises for the suspended Paddy O’Rourke in goal
