KERRY MANAGER EAMON Kelly has made one change to his side for this afternoon’s Christy Ring Cup final against Derry at Croke Park.

Patrick Kelly, who missed the semi-final win over Kildare last week due to club commitments, is drafted in with John Egan moving to corner forward and David Butler dropping out.

Former All-Ireland winning goalkeeper with Tipperary, James Logue, has been omitted from the squad for Saturday’s game at GAA HQ with Philip Lucid named as the substitute net minder.

It’s understood Logue was unhappy with being left out of the team for the 6-27 to 0-9 win over Kildare at St Conleth’s Park and has now been dropped from the panel altogether.

Logue was added to the Kerry set-up for the 2015 season and is an All-Ireland medallist in the minor, U21 and intermediate grades having represented Tipperary at senior level.

Throw-in at Croke Park is at 5.30pm.
