Fri, 21st April 2017

Dublin minor footballers will be hoping to overcome Meath in Saturday’s Leinster MFC first round clash at Parnell Park (3.0).

The young Dubs will be captained by Na Fianna’s Donal Ryan who will partner Cuala’s Mark Tracey at midfield.

Ballyboden St Enda’s, Ross McGarry (pictured), who came on as a sub in last year’s Leinster MFC loss to the Royal County will start at right full-forward alongside Seán Hawkshaw and Ciarán Archer.

James Madden, who started for the minors in last year's Leinster MFC first round victory over Offaly, is currently sidelined after an appendix operation.
