It’s the business end of the Gaelic Football season as Dublin stare down an inconsistent Mayo in the All Ireland
Dublin v Mayo
All Ireland Senior Football Championship Quarter Final
Sunday, July 2nd. 4:00pm
Croke Park, Dublin
2015 Footballer Of The Year Jack McCaffrey is the glaring addition to Dessie Farrell’s starting 15 as Dublin and Mayo go head to head once more for a place in the last four of the 2023 All Ireland Senior Football Championship.
The last time the Clontarf man featured was in this year’s Leinster Final clash with Louth, where McCaffrey ultimately took himself out of the action after 32 minutes as a precaution. But he returns on Sunday being named in place of Eoin Murchan who will feature on Dublin’s bench. Bu that bench is bolstered by the likes of Paul Mannion, Cormac Costello, Davy Byrne, and Dean Rock, all ready to spring into action.
Dessie Farrell has named his strongest hand to date in what will likely be Dublin’s toughest test this year. Sean Bugler, who was a doubt after a suspected hamstring injury in the game against Sligo also starts. It’s quite the signal of intent by the Dublin manager who will expect a massive performance from his charges.
