LOUISE GALVIN IS back in the Kerry fold ahead of Saturday’s TG4 All-Ireland ladies football semi-final against Cork.

Galvin played a key role for Ireland at the Women’s Rugby Sevens Dublin tournament last weekend, as Anthony Eddy’s team secured their place in the World Series with a second-place finish.

Next year’s event will serve as ideal preparation for the Olympic repechage tournament and a potential route to Rio in 2016.

And now Galvin is set to feature for the Kingdom as they aim to topple the reigning champions and book a place in next month’s All-Ireland ladies final.

Kerry, without Galvin at the time, have already managed to defeat Cork this summer, in the Munster final.

Alan O’Neill’s Kerry are unchanged although there are some positional switches as Lorraine Scanlon is named at midfield, with Megan O’Connell filling the full-forward position.

Emma Sherwood will start at wing-forward as Sarah Houlihan moves to centre forward in the reshuffle.

But the return of Galvin is the biggest talking point and the Finuge/St Senans player is named on the bench.

Cork have made one change to the side that defeated Galway in the quarter-finals, as Doireann O’Sullivan replaces Rhona Ní Bhuachalla in attack.

Throw-in at the Gaelic Grounds on Saturday is at 6pm.
