Cluxton named to start for Dublin in Leinster final against Louth

Meanwhile, Austin Gleeson has been named to start for the Déise’s Munster SHC clash with Clare.

STEPHEN CLUXTON HAS been named to start for Dublin in the Leinster SFC final against Louth on Sunday at Croke Park [Throw-in, 1.45pm].

The eight-time All-Ireland winner made a shock return to the squad in March ahead of their Division 2 meeting against the Wee County, having not appeared for the side since the 2020 All-Ireland final. He then started in Dublin’s Leinster semi-final win over Kildare as a late change to the team, and has now been named to start between the sticks for the provincial decider.

Cormac Costello has also been named to start at corner-forward with Ross McGarry dropping to the bench, while Jack McCaffrey is listed among the substitutes.
