Dubs unchanged for Wexford match

Dublin manager Pat Gilroy has unsurprisingly named an unchanged team for Sunday's Leinster SFC semi-final against Wexford at Croke Park (throw-in 4pm).

The Dubs launched the defence of their provincial crown with a facile 2-22 to 0-12 victory over Louth with the returning Bernard Brogan bagging both goals.

Denis Bastick continues to partner Eamon Fennell in midfield after he was a late replacement against Louth, stepping in for Michael Darragh Macauley who injured himself whilst cycling.

The five substitutes who came on during that comfortable win earlier this month remain on the bench - Championship debutants Craig Dias and Johnny Cooper along with Eoghan O'Gara, Ross McConnell and Paul Casey.

Gilroy's men have extended Dublin's dominance of the Leinster Championship this century, so much so that the capital side have only lost once in 23 provincial games since the start of the 2005 Leinster Championship.

They beat Wexford in each of the last two years, albeit after tough struggles - 2-16 to 0-15 after extra-time in 2010 and 2-12 to 1-12 in last year's Leinster decider.

DUBLIN (SFC v Wexford): Stephen Cluxton; Philly McMahon, Rory O'Carroll, Michael Fitzsimons; James McCarthy, Ger Brennan, Kevin Nolan; Eamon Fennell, Denis Bastick; Bryan Cullen (capt), Alan Brogan, Paul Flynn; Diarmuid Connolly, Kevin McManamon, Bernard Brogan.
