Wicklow boss John Evans has made a couple of alterations to his full-back line for Sunday's Leinster SFC meeting with Dublin in Portlaoise.

Ross O'Brien replaces his Rathnew club-mate Jamie Snell (hamstring injury) at three just like he did against Offaly, while Dunlavin's Eoin Murtagh is preferred to Paul Merrigan in the left corner.

O'Brien and Murtagh both impressed as substitutes in the thrilling extra-time victory over the Faithful County two weeks ago.

Goalkeeper Mark Jackson scored seven points and saved a penalty as the Garden County recorded their first win of 2018.

Wicklow (Leinster SFC v Dublin): Mark Jackson; Ciaran Hyland, Ross O'Brien, Eoin Murtagh; John Crowe, Dean Healy, Saoirse Kearon; Rory Finn, James Stafford; Darren Hayden, Kevin Murphy, Theo Smyth; Mark Kenny, Seanie Furlong, John McGrath.

Subs: Robert Lambert, Paul Merrigan, Cathal Magee, Brendan Kennedy, David Boothman, Conor Healy, Darragh Fitzgerald, Jamie Snell, PJ O'Keeffe, Harry Wilson, Dan Keane.
