Daly looks to young faces for Galway trip

Shane Stapleton, a St Patrick’s clubmate of Liam Rushe makes his first league start as does Danny Sutcliffe of Naomh Jude

ANTHONY DALY HAS tonight named his side to face Galway in Pearse Stadium on Sunday.

One of the county’s great young hopes, Shane Stapleton, a St Patrick’s clubmate of Liam Rushe makes his first league start as does Danny Sutcliffe of Naomh Jude. Rushe starts after coming through a UCD game this week.

Daly this week spoke about the ‘bad dose’ that pneumonia-hit David O’Callaghan suffered recently and though he is back in training, he sits this one out.

Ross O’Carroll has a broken thumb and the Dubs are still without long-term casualties Conal Keaney, Tomás Brady and Stephen Hiney. Galway will be without star forward Joe Canning, of course. The Portumna man suffered a shoulder injury while on Fitzgibbon Cup duty with Limerick IT.

Dublin (to face Galway): G Maguire, N Corcoran, P Kelly, R Trainor, M Carton, J Boland, S Durkin, J Mc Caffrey (capttain), D Sutcliffe, C McCormack, R O’Dwyer, S Stapleton, D Treacy, L Rushe, P Ryan.
