EAMONN FITZMAURICE HAS made three changes to the Kerry team to play Kildare following their 12-point Division 1 defeat to Dublin last weekend.

Fionn Fitzgerald comes in for Shane Enright, while Dáithí Casey replaces Sean O’Shea and Barry John Keane is in for Adrian Spillane.

Paul Geaney starts at corner-forward despite going off injured against Dublin at half-time last weekend.

Stephen O’Brien has recovered sufficiently from a hamstring problem to make the bench, while Johnny Buckley also returns to the substitutes.

Kildare have made two changes from their loss to Mayo, as Johnny Byrne replaces Cian O’Donoghue and Ben McCormack comes in for David Slattery.
