Brian Ó Beaglaoich, who lined out for the Kerry senior side in the 2016 championship, has been hampered by an injury picked up in the McGrath Cup in January but he is named at right half-back.
Ó Beaglaoich came on in Kerry’s Munster semi-final win over Waterford and has now secured a starting place.

While Gavin White, an All-Ireland club winner with Dr Crokes recently, comes back into the side at left half-back.
White has missed Kerry’s opening games against Clare and Waterford due to club commitments while other Dr Crokes players Micheál Burns and Jordan Kiely also rejoin the panel as they are named on the bench.
