DUBLIN AND DERRY have named their starting teams for tomorrow’s Division 1 National Football League final at Croke Park [throw-in 4pm, TG4].
Dessie Farrell’s side ran out 1-11 to 1-16 winners at Celtic Park when these sides met earlier in the competition, but the hosts rested several players on that occasion.
Mickey Harte has named a strong side for tomorrow, however.

That was Derry’s only defeat of the campaign as they finished top of the table.
Dublin lost narrowly to Monaghan and Mayo early on.
Farrell has made two changes to his starting team from their last outing against Tyrone: John Small and Séan Bugler are named to start ahead of Lorcan O’Dell and Daire Newcombe.
