Gilroy blends old and new

PAT GILROY may or may not succeed in his attempt to usher in a bright new dawn for Dublin football but, if he does, it seems he will do so with the help of some familiar old faces.

The St Vincent’s clubman has made four changes to the side which started so haplessly against Wexford two weeks ago and the recalls for Bryan Cullen and Tomas Quinn are particularly significant.

Cullen and Quinn were big players under Paul Caffrey and have the Leinster medals to prove it, but they have been afforded only bit-part roles under Gilroy who has taken a wrecking ball to the squad he inherited.
