Stephen Cluxton starts for Dublin in Leinster SFC semi-final against Kildare

Stephen Cluxton will start for Dublin in this afternoon's Leinster SFC semi-final clash against Kildare at Croke Park.

Cluxton, 41, hasn't played for the Blues since the 2020 All-Ireland final victory over Mayo.

The legendary keeper made a shock return to the Dubs panel for the Division 2 last round meeting with Louth in March.

He has been on the bench since with Dessie Farrell's side winning the Division 2 final against Derry and then beating Laois last week in the provincial quarter-final.

The Parnells star replaces David O'Hanlon between the posts for the meeting with the Lilywhites.

In further changes to the Dubs team named during the week, Jack McCaffrey drops to the bench from the victory over Laois along with Sean MacMahon, with John Small and Tom Lahiff coming into the line-up.

Kildare have two changes to the line-ups named, with Darragh Malone replaced by Mick O'Grady and Paddy McDermott in for Barry Coffey.
