Current Dublin seniors James Brogan, Kevin Bonner and Bernard Brogan will start as well as former intercounty Dubs Senan Connell, Martin Cahill, Graham Norton and Declan Lally.
Gareth Smith who lined out for the Dubs in the OByrne Cup last year and who scored seven points (six frees) for his adopted county of Cavan in the McKenna Cup defeat to Donegal will lead the St Declans All-Star attack from centre-forward.
Paul Brogan has been named among the subs and it is anticipated that he will see about 20 minutes action as he returns from a cruciate injury.
Alan Brogan, Barry Cahill and Shane Supple were ruled out of consideration due to injury while former Dublin senior Declan Cahill is abroad.
