Dessie Finnegan returns for Louth this weekend

The Louth team to face the All-Ireland senior football champions Dublin in Sunday's Leinster Senior Football Championship quarter-final has been announced.

Louth manager Peter Fitzpatrick has opted to make one change from the team that started the opening round victory over Westmeath in Navan.

St Patrick’s Dessie Finnegan, who missed the win over the Lake County as he was away on honeymoon, returns to take up his full-back berth with Liam Shevlin making way.

Otherwise, Fitzpatrick has a full deck to play from with Declan Byrne and Jamie Carr both shaking off niggling injuries to face the defending Leinster and All-Ireland football champions.
