Dublin and Westmeath unveil starting sides as they go head-to-head for Leinster final spot

Throw-in at Croke Park is 4pm tomorrow.

JIM GAVIN HAS named his starting side — with just one change — to face Westmeath in tomorrow’s Leinster semi-final.

The Dublin manager has announced an unchanged back-line from their Leinster opener victory over Carlow.

Elsewhere, there’s no room for Bernard Brogan as Paddy Andrews comes in at centre-half forward to replace the suspended Diarmuid Connolly.

Meanwhile, Westmeath have made three changes ahead of the Croke Park challenge.

Frank Boyle replaces Paddy Holloway in the half-back line — a substitution which was made early in last week’s win over Offaly.

Tommy McDaniel and Denis Glennon come in for Alan Gaughan and Kevin Reilly respectively in the forwards.

The Dubs are bidding to reach a seventh successive provincial final, while Westmeath have been beaten in the last two deciders.

Throw-in at GAA HQ is 4pm tomorrow, with a place in the Leinster final against Kildare up for grabs.
