As the Underdogs face into their final test in Parnell Park tonight, the Dublin team they will be up against has been named.
Although nobody would have expected the XV who started against Tyrone in the All-Ireland final to turn up tonight, a strong starting side has been drawn upon to hamper the best intentions of Kerry's Paul Galvin, Cork's Valerie Mulcahy and Galway's Ray Silke.

One of those in attendance - but not playing, unfortunately - is multiple All-Ireland winner, James McCarthy.

With Jim Gavin delegating managerial duties to Paul Clarke for the night, it's clear this isn't quite the All-Ireland champions at their absolute peak.
That being said, there is plenty there in this Dublin team for the Underdogs to worry about.
