Dublin unchanged for replay

Dublin manager Paul Caffrey has named an unchanged team for Sunday's Leinster SFC quarter-final replay against Meath (Croke Park, throw-in 4.15pm).

That means full-back Ross McConnell and left half-forward Diarmuid Connolly, who both made their championship debuts in the drawn game, have retained their places in the side.

There had been speculation that Caffrey would start Kilmacud youngster Mark Vaughan in attack, given the free-taking difficulties his side encountered last time out, but Vaughan has again been kept in reserve.

Forward duo Jason Sherlock (wrist) and Kevin Bonner (thigh) have both resumed light training following injuries but neither player was deemed fit enough to start on Sunday.

Defender Niall O'Shea is also fit again but St. Oliver Plunketts/Eoghan Ruadh clubman McConnell has held onto the number 3 jersey.

Last Sunday week's draw was Dublin's first in the Leinster championship since 1999 when they drew a semi-final with Laois - 1-11 to 0-14 - before winning the replay by 0-16 to 1-11.

Offaly await the winners of Sunday's clash with the Leinster semi-final scheduled for Sunday week.

DUBLIN (SFC v Meath) - S Cluxton; D Henry, R McConnell, P Griffin; P Casey, B Cullen, B Cahill; C Whelan, D Magee; C Moran (capt), S Ryan, D Connolly; C Keaney, A Brogan, T Quinn.
