DIARMUID CONNOLLY’S 12-week suspension runs out on Saturday night, and he’s in the running to start in Sunday’s All-Ireland semi-final against Tyrone
Jim Gavin faces a big decision ahead of the showdown: does he pitch in Connolly from the outset or hold him in reserve until the second-half?
The St Vincent’s man has been training away all summer but he might be a little rusty having not played any championship football since the Leinster quarter-final against Carlow.
Naming Connolly in his starting 15 would provide the All-Ireland champions with a shooter from the perimeter which is an invaluable asset against Tyrone, but introducing him as a substitute with 15 minutes to go would electrify the crowd down the home straight.
What’s the right call for Dublin? Let us know in the comments section below.
