Five Dublin newcomers face Tyrone

DUBLIN introduce five newcomers for Sunday’s opening Allianz NFL tie against All-Ireland champions Tyrone at Omagh.

Paul Copeland takes over in goal from Stephen Cluxton, who is out of the country while, in the absence of groin injury victim Paddy Christie, Niall O’Shea of St. Brigid’s gets his chance at right corner-back.

Denis Bastick is the new midfield partner to Ciaran Whelan. Derek Murray, an U21 All-Ireland medal winner in 2003, comes in at right half-forward, with Kevin Bonner, nephew of former Donegal star Seamus, at full-forward.
