Dublin manager Paul Caffrey has left out forward Tomás Quinn and included veteran Jason Sherlock in the starting line-up to face Laois in this Sunday's Leinster football final at Croke Park.

Sherlock has recovered from a wrist injury, while Quinn's form has not been what he would have hoped in the championship thus far.

Conal Keaney will start at full forward with Mark Vaughan taking the opposite corner from Sherlock.

The Brogan brothers, Alan and Bernard, will both line-up on the half forward line alongside captain Colin Moran.

Shane Ryan will partner Ciaran Whelan in midfield, while Ross McConnell will play full back.

DUBLIN (SF v Laois): S Cluxton; D Henry, R McConnell, P Griffin; P Casey, B Cullen, B Cahill; C Whelan, S Ryan; C Moran, A Brogan, B Brogan; J Sherlock, C Keaney, M Vaughan.
LAOIS (SF v Dublin): F Byron; C Ryan, T Kelly, J Higgins; P McMahon, D Rooney, B McCormack; P Clancy, B Quigley; P O'Leary, C Conway, C Parkinson; M Tierney, P Lawlor, R Munnelly.
