Dublin team news: Jim Gavin names unchanged team to face Kerry in All-Ireland football final

Dublin boss Jim Gavin has named an unchanged team to face Kerry as the Boys in Blue look to end their Drive for Five with victory over the Kingdom.

The same 15 who started against Mayo last time out will start tomorrow’s All-Ireland Senior Football final at Croke Park, meaning no start for either Ballymena Kickhams’ Philly McMahon or Cian O’Sullivan of Kilmacud Crokes.

A win against Kerry tomorrow will see the Dubs win their five successive All-Ireland title, something no team has done in either hurling or football.

Rumours have been doing the rounds in fan circles that there may be changes, with Gavin of course no stranger to mixing it up before throw-in.

No substitutes have been named, so speculation remains that there may a look-in for prodigal son Diarmaid Connolly and Bernard Brogan off the bench.

The Dublin team to face Kerry:

Stephen Cluxton; David Byrne, Jonny Cooper, Michael Fitzsimons; Jack McCaffrey, James McCarthy, John Small; Brian Fenton, Michael Darragh Macauley; Niall Scully, Con O’Callaghan, Brian Howard; Paul Mannion, Dean Rock, Ciaran Kilkenny.
