Two Changes to the Dublin Senior Footall lineup as they being their All Ireland Championship Series this weekend
Dublin v Roscommon
All Ireland Senior Football Championship. Round 1
Sunday, May 28th. 4:00pm
Croke Park, Dublin
After 2 seasons exiting the All Ireland Senior Football Championship at the semi final stage, following a reign of six successful years as Champions, Dublin begin another All Ireland campaign. They’ve watched Tyrone and Kerry claim Sam Maguire and are now poised and ready to mount a challenge.
They start the first of three round robin games, akin to the Super 8’s of old. And they face a Roscommon side who have impressed in 2023 under the watchful eye of Davy Burke.
Dublin’s performance against Louth in the recent Leinster Championship decider saw another step up in class and it could be a sign of Dublin reaching their peak at just the right time. All eyes will be on how they handle the Rossies at the weekend.
This morning Dublin boss Dessie Farrell named his panel for the All Ireland opener. And there are two changes to the side that started in the Leinster Final win over Louth a two weeks ago. Cian Murphy and Tom Lahiff come into the starting 15, replacing Jack McCaffrey and Niall Scully
