Cuala’s Seán Treacy will captain the Dublin minor hurlers as they begin the defence of their Leinster MHC title against a strong Offaly team in O’Connor Park, Tullamore on Saturday (2.0).
Only two of Dublin’s starting 15 survive from last year’s All-Ireland MHC final replay defeat as injury currently sidelines others – Chris Bennett, Shane Barrett and Cian Boland.
Cian Mac Gabhann and Eoghan O’Donnell will man the spine of the Dublin defence against the Faithful County – both featured against Tipp last September.
DUBLIN (MHC v Offaly): J Treacy; G Quinlivan, C Mac Gabhann, J Bellew; F Ó Riain Broin, E O’Donnell, D Kelly; R McBride, AJ Murphy; S Ryan, S Treacy, E Conroy; C O’Callaghan, E McHugh, E Ó Conghaile.
