Sweeney included by Dubs

David Sweeney is back in the Dublin side for Sunday's NHL Division Two final against Kerry (Thurles, throw-in 1.30pm).

The Ballyboden St. Enda's clubman missed the Dubs' recent wins over Carlow and Westmeath as he was abroad.

Sweeney returns at midfield - partnering last year's minor captain John McCaffrey - with Aodhan de Paor losing his spot in the team and Tommy Moore reverting to right half-back.

Sweeney's last outing for the county was in the 1-10 to 0-09 defeat of Meath on March 26.

Influential full-back Kevin Ryan has been selected despite his on-going battle with a back injury. He missed training last week.

DUBLIN (NHL v Kerry) - G Maguire; P Brennan (capt), K Ryan, T Brady; T Moore, R Fallon, M Carton; D Sweeney, J McCaffrey; E Moran, S McDonnell, D Curtin; K Dunne, K Flynn, A McCrabbe.
