Caffrey has full hand for final

Dublin manager Paul Caffrey has a full panel to choose from for next Sunday's Leinster SFC final against Offaly (Croke Park, throw-in 4pm).

Midfielder Darren Magee has returned to full training - he played for 25 minutes in a training game over the weekend.

The Kilmacud Crokes clubman showed no signs of the wrist injury which forced him to undergo scapoid surgery in May. He was on standby for the semi-final victory over Laois.

Caffrey may be tempted to slot the fit-again Colin Moran, the Dubs' captain for 2006, into his defence or attack. Moran sat out the entire National League and Dublin's championship wins over Longford and Laois due to a long-term groin injury.

Young centre-fielder Denis Bastick is also back from suspension, while last year's skipper Paddy Christie has shaken off a groin problem to push for a starting place.

Although Caffrey, who is hoping to guide the Metropolitans to their second successive Leinster title and third in five seasons, could easily keep the faith with the side that hammered Laois by 3-17 to 0-12.
