GAA:Pat Gilroy has restored Denis Bastick and Michael Darragh Macauley to the Dublin midfield for Sunday's Allianz Football League Division One final against Cork. The Dublin manager has made six changes in all for the showdown at Croke Park.

Macauley jons Bastick in the Dublin engine room in place Sean Murray with Barry Cahill moving to the half back line where Paul Casey misses out. Tomas Quinn is named in the full forward line in place of the suspended Alan Brogan while Kevin McManamon is also named in attack with Pat Burke reverting to the bench.

The other changes see Stephen Cluxton start in goal while Nicky Devereux makes way for Michael Fitzsimons at corner back.
