KIERAN DONAGHY HAS been named in the Kerry match-day squad for the first time this year ahead of Sunday’s Allianz Football League final against Dublin at Croke Park.

The 34-year-old will start from the bench as Eamonn Fitzmaurice makes one change to his starting XV from the victory over Tyrone last week.

Jonathan Lyne, who came on against Mickey Harte’s men, is handed a start and slots into the half-forward line as Kevin McCarthy switches to the corner. Michael Geaney will wear the number 11 shirt and start at centre half-forward.

Barry John Keane is the man to miss out.

Throw-in at GAA headquarters is 4pm.
