There are 2 members of the 2019 All-Ireland minor winning side starting, they being Ian McGlynn and Alex Connaire and indeed they make up the midfield pairing. Oisin Flannery, who excelled for St Thomas' in this year's county senior championship, starts at corner forward in a line also containing the aforementioned Fleming and Donal O'Shea. Interestingly, Diarmuid Kilcommins and Adam Brett, who were both in the half forward line in the 2018 All Ireland minor final victory, are selected in the half back line.
