Hubbard and Brogan handed Dublin debuts

DUBLIN manager Pat Gilroy has handed debuts to two players for Saturday’s National league Division One tie against Tyrone at Croke Park.

Ballymun Kickhams’ Alan Hubbard starts at left corner-back and James Brogan (Oliver Plunketts/Eoghan Ruadh) – a cousin of Alan, Bernard and Paul – features in the forwards.

David Henry has been named captain and has been moved from his customary defensive role under Paul Caffrey to the centre-forward slot. Last year’s full-back Ross McConnell has been named alongside Ciaran Whelan at midfield.
