Walsh in for Dublin clash
TEAM NEWS Cluxton set to start for defending Leinster champions
Shane Walsh has been selected to come in for Diarmuid Moriarty in the only change from the Meath side that overcame Offaly to take on Dublin in the Leinster SFC semi-final at Portlaoise on Sunday, 4pm.
Moriarty isn't named in the matchday 26 or as one of the four stand-by players which suggests the Curraha man may have picked up a knock in training in the seven-point quarter-final win over Offaly.
There are three other changes to the panel with Cian McBride, Daithi McGowan, Eoin Harkin and James McEntee all named on the bench in place or Moriarty, Cillian O'Sullivan, Jason Scully and Thomas O'Reilly.
There is a boost for Meath with Ronan Jones nearing a return to action as he is named alongside Dunshaughlin's Charlie O'Connor, St Peter's Mick Murphy and O'Sullivan as one of the four standby players.
Stephen Cluxton has been included byb Dessie Farrell in the Dublin side to face Meath.
The 43-year-old missed Dublin's lack-lustre quarter-final win over Wicklow, but now looks set to start his 23rd campaign between the posts for the Dubs.
There is also a surprise return to the panel for John Small, who did join the squad for their recent training camp in Portugal.
The last five championship meetings between the sides have been won by Dublin by an average of just over 14 points.
