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.

1. Brian Kelly (Killarney Legion)

2. Marc Ó Sé (An Ghaeltacht)
3. Aidan O’Mahony (Rathmore)

5. Paul Murphy (Rathmore)
6. Peter Crowley (Laune Rangers)
7. Killian Young (Renard)

8. Anthony Maher (Duagh)
9. David Moran (Kerins O’Rahillys)

12. Donnchadh Walsh (Cromane)

13. Paul Geaney (Dingle)
14. Kieran Donaghy (Austin Stacks)
15. James O’Donoghue (Killarney Legion)
