KERRY MINOR FOOTBALL manager Jack O’Connor has made two changes to his team for Sunday’s Munster minor football final against Tipperary in Killarney (12pm).

The reigning All-Ireland and Munster minor champions needed extra-time to overcome Cork at the semi-final stage back in May, when Michael Foley’s late point earned them a 0-16 to 1-12 victory.

He was a substitute that day but has earned a call-up to the starting XV in place of Bryan Sweeney, with Cormac Linnane dropping into the half-forwards. Elsewhere, Na Gaeil midfielder Andrew Barry comes in for John Mark Foley.

The Tipperary team is here.

Is Kerry’s decision to drop Colm Cooper madness or masterstroke?
