TEAM NEWS 


This Saturday July 10th, reigning All Ireland champions Dublin begin the defence of their TG4 championship crown with an away encounter with Ulster championship semi-finalists, Tyrone.

Missing from the starting line up are Niamh Collins, Aoife Kane, Siobhan McGrath, Sinead Goldrick, Lyndsey Davey, Sinead Aherne and Nicole Owens. 


Six of the above are named amongst the Dublin replacements providing Mick Bohan with plenty of options off the bench if required.
