DAVID Mulgrew has been rewarded for his goalscoring heroics against Armagh with a recall to the Tyrone starting 15 for Sunday’s All-Ireland SFC semi-final clash with Dublin.
The Ardboe teenager came off the bench to sink the Orchardmen with two second half goals in the last eight, and starts in place of Declan McClure in the only change made by manager Mickey Harte.
Skipper Sean Cavanagh will lead the side from full forward in his 89th Championship appearance, now second only to Dublin goalkeeper Stephen Cluxton, who will make it number 90 in Sunday’s eagerly-awaited clash of two of the game’s giants.
Colm Cavanagh has recovered from a hip injury to take his place in midfield.
The Cavanagh brothers and Peter Harte are the only Red Hand survivors from the team that started when the teams last met in the Championship six years ago.
On that occasion, an All-Ireland quarter-final, the Dubs ran out comfortable 0-22 to 0-15 winners on a rainy night at Croke Park.
Tyrone (v Dublin): N Morgan; A McCrory, R McNamee, C McCarron; T McCann, P Hampsey, P Harte; C Cavanagh, C McCann; D Mulgrew, N Sludden, K McGeary; M Bradley, S Cavanagh, M Donnelly
