Team News: O'Carroll back for the Dubs

Rory O'Carroll will make his first competitive start for the Dublin footballers in 2011 when he mans the edge of the square in Sunday's Leinster GAA Football Championship Quarter-final against Laois at Croke Park.

O'Carroll, who has been teaching in France, is one of three players drafted into the team following the county's one point Allianz League final reversal to Cork at the same venue in April.

Also promoted are Alan Brogan, who returns from suspension, and 2010 U21 All-Ireland winner James McCarthy who makes his starting championship debut at wing back.

The players to lose out are Paul Brogan, Denis Bastick and Tomás Quinn.
