Dubs ring changes for Royal date

Friday April 18 2008
Dublin have made widescale changes, especially upfront, for Sunday's big Division 2 decider against Meath.
Paddy Andrews replaces Derek Murray at corner-back, Collie Moran switches to the half-backs where he replaces Paul Casey, Ciaran Whelan starts in midfield beside Eamonn Fennell and, in the forwards, where Alan Brogan is out suspended, there's a completely new half-forward line, featuring Brendan McManamon, Mossy Quinn and Kevin Flynn.
Tipperary boss Liam Sheedy has made just one change in his team for Sunday's Allianz National Hurling League final against Galway. Willie Ryan (Toomevara) replaces Tommy Fitzgerald in the forwards, coming in at top of the left with Lar Corbett moving to the full-forward position.
Kerry U-21 football boss Sean Geaney has made one change also for their All-Ireland semi-final against Mayo tomorrow, with John Buckley replacing Brian Looney in the forwards, as he did at half-time in the Munster final.
Down footballers will be without half-forward John Fegan for their must-win Division 3 clash with Fermanagh as he will be in Australia for three weeks. Manager Ross Carr will wait until after tomorrow's U-21 semi-final against Kildare before he names his side.
Meanwhile, Wexford's bid to challenge the way the National Leagues were administered in the wake of the Cork players strike has been postponed until next week. The case was due to be heard by the DRA last night.
