KERRY HAVE MADE one change to their attack for Sunday’s Electric Ireland All-Ireland minor football semi-final against Derry in Croke Park.
Michael Foley, who came on as a sub in the quarter-final win over Sligo, is named at corner-forward as Stephen O’Sullivan makes way.
Team captain Mark O’Connor – midfield on last year’s All-Ireland winning side – returns from a knee injury to be named on the bench with Dingle club mate Conor Geaney set to captain the side on Sunday.
Derry have made three changes with Callim Mullan-Young and Tiernan Flanagan returning to the side in goal and at corner-forward respectively while Francis Kearney gets the nod at full-forward.
Ben McKinless, Brian Cassidy and Barry Grant are the three players to make way.
