McAuley may get shot to prove credentials in Dublin opener
The midfielder made a big name for himself by powering Ballyboden to the Dublin SFC title last autumn and has been rewarded with a place on Pat Gilroy’s 24-man panel.
He’s among a number of newcomers to the set-up for the O’Byrne Cup first-round clash with Wexford at Parnell Park. Former U21 star Dean Rock, son of county legend Barney, is also named while there are high hopes for newcomers Craig Reilly, Dean Kelly, Conor McCormack, James McCarthy, Sean Murray, Shane McGrath and Denis Carrigan.
