Con O'Callaghan in the line-up as Dublin name team for Monaghan clash
All-Ireland champions Dublin kick off their 2019 Allianz National Football League campaign tomorrow when they take on Monaghan in Clones.
After playing a host of unknown faces during the O'Byrne Cup where they lost the final to Westmeath, Jim Gavin's line-up sees a number of familiar names return to the fold.
Among those coming back into the side is two-time All-Ireland winner Con O'Callaghan, who remarkably is starting a National League game for the first time.
Having been on club duty with Cuala over the last few springs, O'Callaghan has been named corner-forward for the game at St Tiernach's Park.
