Joey Boland returns to the Dublin hurling team for Saturday’s Allianz NHL Division 1 clash with Tipperary in Croke Park (5.15).
The Na Fianna man, although selected to start, did not feature against Waterford last weekend owing to flu but has recovered and replaces Peter Kelly at centre-back.
Maurice O’Brien was not considered for selection owing to injury (ankle) while the fitness of Ryan O’Dwyer will be assessed to see if he can be included among the match day squad.
