U21 footballers make changes for Leinster decider

Tue, 28th March 2017

Dublin have made three changes in personnel in their starting 15 for Wednesday night’s EirGrid Leinster U21FC final against Offaly in O’Moore Park, Portlaoise (7.30).

There is also a position switch with the pacey Cian Murphy moving from wing-back to the half-forward line.

Shane Clayton, ruled out through injury for the semi-final victory over Longford, is selected at left corner-back.

Darren Gavin, who came on as a sub in the two championship games to date, will partner Andy Foley at midfield with Stephen Smith starting in attack at corner-forward.
