Dublin have drafted Cian O'Sullivan and Paul Mannion into their team to take on Kerry at headquarters tomorrow in the Division 1 final.

O'Sullivan, who has become one of the most versatile players in the country under Jim Gavin, will replace Eric Lowndes at centre-back while Gavin has opted to drop his top scorer in Dean Rock (1-35) in favour of the pacier Paul Mannion at corner-forward.

Kerry, on the other hand, welcome Bryan Sheehan and Berndan Kealy back to their team. Sheehan will replace Johnny Buckley in the half-forward line while Eamon Fitzmaurice has decided to start Brendan Kealy ahead of Brian Kelly in goals for the repeat of last year's All-Ireland final.
