Dubs reshuffle pack for Laois clash

DUBLIN have made a number of surprise changes on their team to play Laois in the first of the Bank of Ireland Leinster SFC championship semi-final at Croke Park on Sunday.

Brian Cullen, who operated in the half forward line in an unimpressive quarter-final performance against Longford, is selected at centre-back, with Paul Griffin moving from left half back to left corner back and Coman Goggins taking over the number seven shirt to the exclusion of Niall O’Shea, who had a disastrous championship debut.

Colin Keaney and Kieran Bonner now occupy the wing forward positions, with Alan Brogan in the centre. Ray Cosgrove returns at full-forward, with Jason Sherlock in the left corner.
