Two changes for Kerry ahead of All-Ireland SFC final

The Kingdom have made changes in the full-back and half-forward line.

EAMONN FITZMAURICE HAS named his starting XV for this Sunday’s All-Ireland SFC final with Donegal and it shows two changes from the side that started against Mayo in the semi-final replay last month.

Marc Ó Sé, who came on in the 21st minute of the replay, starts in the full back-line while Stephen O’Brien is named at 10 in place of Michael Geaney.

The Kenmare forward only made his championship debut this season but missed Kerry’s quarter-final and semi-final replay through injury.

While there’s no place for Colm Cooper in the 26-man panel, he is one of eight “additional panel members” named by Fitzmaurice.
