One change to Dublin side
Eoghan O'Gara has surprisingly been named in the Dublin team to face Tyrone in tomorrow's All-Ireland SFC quarter-final at Croke Park (throw-in 7pm).
O'Gara fractured his wrist in the Leinster final win over Wexford last month, but is listed at right corner forward in the side that was announced this morning by Pat Gilroy.
Kevin McManamon replaced the injured O'Gara at half-time in the Wexford game, and will be on stand-by along with Tomás Quinn.
There is one confirmed change in personnel with the return of Cian O'Sullivan at left corner back. O'Sullivan's season has been blighted by a long-term hamstring injury, and Paul Conlon, who has deputised for him in impressive fashion, can count himself unfortunate to lose out.
Gilroy's men posted a 1-15 to 0-13 over Tyrone at this stage of last year's Championship. Bernard Brogan kicked nine points in that victory, and O'Gara weighed in with a 65th minute goal.
In his Vodafone DubHub blog, Brogan said: "We're under no illusions about the task facing us on Saturday. In their last two games against Armagh and Roscommon, it's clear that Tyrone are moving well and mean business.
"You couldn't but be impressed by Tyrone's win over Roscommon where they all their experience and sharpness.
"Seán Cavanagh, in particular, looks hungry and back to his very best. I knew that Roscommon would put it up to them but, ultimately, Tyrone had the leaders around the pitch who stepped up in the second half and cut through for goals impressively.
"To post 3-19 in any game is a serious score and they are a major challenge. But we'll do what we've done all year and that's focus on what we have to do and what change we can make in our game."
