Dublin manager Ger Brennan has named an unchanged team for Sunday’s Leinster SFC final with Westmeath (2pm), with six-time All-Ireland winner Con O\u2019Callaghan again absent from the match-day panel.<\/p>\n

The Cuala star came off at half-time during the nervy win against Wicklow last month and did not feature in the Leinster semi-final defeat of Louth.<\/p>\n

Former team-mate Brian Fenton stressed O\u2019Callaghan\u2019s importance for Dublin this summer earlier this week<\/a>, and it appears the hamstring injury that has curtailed his participation in the championship will not be risked this weekend at Croke Park.<\/p>\n

Eoin Murchan, who left the field of play against Wicklow after a collision, is also not in the squad.<\/p>\n

Dublin: Evan Comerford; David Byrne, Theo Clancy, Nathan Doran; Se\u00e1n MacMahon, Charlie McMorrow, Eoin Kennedy; Peadar \u00d3 Cofaigh Byrne, Brian Howard; Se\u00e1n Bugler, Niall Scully, Ciar\u00e1n Kilkenny; Paddy Small, Killian McGinnis, Cormac Costello.<\/p>\n

Kieran McGeeney has kept faith with the same Armagh team that dismantled Down in the Ulster semi-final for the provincial showpiece with Monaghan on Sunday (4.15pm).<\/p>\n

Some positional alterations see Joe McElroy named at midfield and Andrew Murnin in the full-forward line.<\/p>\n

Armagh: B Hughes; P McGrane, A McKay, P Burns; G McCabe, T Kelly, J Og Burns; J McElroy, J Duffy, D McMullen, C Turbitt, T McCormack; C McConville, A Murnin, O Conaty.<\/p>\n
