Eric Lowndes and Michael Darragh Macauley have been drafted into the Dublin team for tomorrow's Leinster SFC final against Westmeath.

Lowndes is named to start at wing back in place of James McCarthy, while Macauley is retained at midfield after replacing Denis Bastick during the facile semi-final win over Meath.

Diarmuid Connolly switches from wing forward to full forward with Kevin McManamon now on the '40' and Ciaran Kilkenny moving to the wing.

Dublin (SF v Westmeath): Stephen Cluxton (captain); Philly McMahon, Jonny Cooper, David Byrne; Eric Lowndes, Cian O'Sullivan, John Small; Brian Fenton, Michael Darragh Macauley; Paul Flynn, Kevin McManamon, Ciaran Kilkenny; Dean Rock, Diarmuid Connolly, Bernard Brogan.
