Fionán Clifford comes into the team at right corner-back instead of the injured Darren Brosnan and in the half-back line, Robert Wharton gets a start instead of Patrick Clifford.
In attack Kevin O’Sullivan gets the nod at centre-forward instead of team captain Paul O’Donoghue who is carrying an injury. Sean T Dillon, John C O’Connor and Dara Roche have all been added to the substitutes list.
Back in April, Clifford came on as a substitute for the Kerry U21′s in their EirGrid Munster final loss to Cork. Wharton featured in the 2014 All-Ireland minor final when Kerry triumphed against Donegal and last year he won a Leinster senior schools rugby medal with Cistercian College Roscrea.
