Dublin have named a new-look team for their league opener against Cork.

Manager Jim Gavin, who has a raft of exciting young talent at his disposal, selects just seven of the players who started last September's surprise All-Ireland semi-final defeat to Mayo.

Na Fianna clubman Johnny Cooper gets the nod at corner back, Declan O'Mahony will line out at midfield, while Kevin O'Brien and Jack McCaffrey are given the chance to impress at the back. Paddy Andrews and Paddy Quinn are both included in the half-forward line.

Dublin (NFL V Cork): S Cluxton; J Cooper, R O'Carroll, K O'Brien; D Daly, G Brennan, J McCaffrey; M D Macauley, D O'Mahony; P Flynn, P Andrews, P Quinn; K McManamon, D Connolly, B Brogan.
