COLM COOPER RETURNS but there’s no James O’Donoghue in the Kerry team for Sunday’s Munster semi-final clash against Tipperary.

There’s only seven members of the team named that started when Kerry lifted Sam Maguire with victory over Donegal last September.

Those survivors are Marc Ó Sé, Peter Crowley, Killian Young, Anthony Maher, Johnny Buckley, Paul Geaney and Kieran Donaghy.

Brendan Kealy comes in to goal while Mark Griffin, Shane Enright and Jonathan Lyne are the new additions in defence. Bryan Sheehan is selected at midfield and the trio of Michael Geaney, Colm Cooper and Barry John Keane are named in attack.

A formidable looking Kerry bench contains players like James O’Donoghue, Fionn Fitzgerald, Darran O’Sullivan and Donnchadh Walsh.

Injury rules out Paul Murphy, David Moran, Paul Galvin and Kieran O’Leary.

David Moran is out injured for Kerry on Sunday.
