OFFALY BOSS KEVIN Martin has named his starting 15 for Sunday’s crucial Leinster senior hurling championship clash with Dublin in Parnell Park.
Tullamore sharpshooter Shane Dooley drops to the bench as part of five changes from their heavy defeat to Wexford in the previous round.
Dooley, Paddy Delaney, Brendan Murphy, Oisin Kelly (suspended) and Kevin Dunne are replaced by Tom Spain, Dan Currams, Tommy Geraghty, Colin Egan and Sean Ryan.
The losers of this clash are facing the drop to the Joe McDonagh Cup next season, although Dublin have one more game to come against Galway next weekend.
Sunday’s tie at Parnell Park throws-in at 3pm. The Dublin team was named yesterday.
