KERRY CAN CALL on several recent All-Ireland minor winners for tomorrow night’s Munster junior football final against Cork in Páirc Uí Rinn.
Manager Jimmy Keane has named an unchanged side from the semi-final win over Limerick and his squad has nine players who won All-Ireland minor medals during Kerry’s three-in-a-row between 2014 and 2016.
Defenders Michael Foley and Daniel O’Brien were part of last September’s triumph against Galway with O’Brien involved as well in the 2015 success over Tipperary.
Midfielder Roibeárd Ó Sé was a substitute in the 2014 minor win over Donegal while forwards Killian Spillane and Tomás Ó Sé started in that game.
Amongst the substitutes are Stephen O’Sullivan, part of the successful sides in 2014 and 2015, Brandon Barrett – who was a winner in 2015 – and the pair of Liam Carey and Ivan Parker that sampled glory in 2014. Kerry welcome Thomas Hickey back from injury to be included amongst their substitutes.
