Dubs unchanged for Fermanagh clash

Dublin manager Paul Caffrey has named an unchanged team for Saturday's NFL Division 1A encounter with Fermanagh in Parnell Park (throw-in 2.30pm).

Experienced attacker Jason Sherlock has been named at centre forward despite doubts over his fitness. He sustained a hamstring injury last time out against Cork.

The 1995 All-Ireland winner scored a point and showed some of his old spark - in what his first start of the season - before the injury forced him off 22 minutes into the 1-13 to 0-7 win against Cork.

Darren Magee and Ciaran Whelan will continue in the midfield berth, while there is one positional change up front with Conal Keaney, who top-scored with 1-4 against the Rebels, switching places with Bernard Brogan from right corner forward to left half-forward.

Bernard's older brother Alan, who is suffering from a back injury, remains on the sidelines.

The Dubs should have enough firepower to account for Fermanagh, who remain the only team in Division One without a point after four rounds of action.

Another defeat would leave the Ernesiders in danger of dropping down to Division Three for next season, while a third win of the campaign would put Caffrey's Metropolitans back in contention for a semi-final spot.

DUBLIN (NFL v Fermanagh) - S Cluxton; D Henry, R McConnell, P Griffin; B Cahill, B Cullen, G Brennan; D Magee, C Whelan; C Moran, J Sherlock, C Keaney; B Brogan, K Bonner, T Quinn.
