In keeping with recent O'Byrne Cup campaigns, Dublin have named a hugely experimental team for this evening's semi-final against Meath at Parnell Park.

With last year's four-in-a-row All-Ireland winning panel having just returned from a Caribbean cruise, stand-in manager Paul Clarke has named an unfamiliar and unproven line-up for the seasonal opener. The winners of tonight's game will face Westmeath in the final at the Donnycarney venue next Friday evening.

Dublin (SF v Meath): Andy Bunyan; Nathan Doran, Sean McMahon, Ciaran Smith; Cian O'Connor, Conor Mullally, Robbie McDaid; Darren Gavin, Cormac Howley; Ryan Basquel, Aaron Byrne, Sean Bulger; Stephen Smith, Callum Pearson, Oisin Lynch.
