Tyrone boss Mickey Harte has rewarded David Mulgrew with a starting berth in attack for Sunday's All-Ireland semi-final encounter with Dublin at Croke Park.

The 19-year-old Ardboe clubman scored 2-1 in an impressive substitute appearance against Armagh in the quarter-final earlier this month. 

Harte reserved special praise for Mulgrew following his side's 3-17 to 0-8 last-eight demolishing of the Orchard County and it's no surprise to see him include the youngster from the start this weekend.

Clonoe newcomer Declan McClure, who was a late replacement for Mulgrew the last day, loses out in the only change.

The Red Hands aim to dethrone the three-in-a-row chasing Dubs and book a place in the Sam Maguire Cup decider for the first time since 2008.

Tyrone (All-Ireland SFC v Dublin): Niall Morgan; Aidan McCrory, Ronan McNamee, Cathal McCarron; Tiernan McCann, Padraig Hampsey, Peter Harte; Colm Cavanagh, Conall McCann; David Mulgrew, Niall Sludden, Kieran McGeary; Mark Bradley, Sean Cavanagh, Matthew Donnelly.

Subs: Michael O'Neill, Lee Brennan, Rory Brennan, Frank Burns, Michael Cassidy, Richard Donnelly, Declan McClure, Darren McCurry, Justin McMahon, Padraig McNulty, Conor Meyler, Ronan O'Neill.
