PETER KEANE HAS named a number of experienced players in the Kerry side that will begin their Allianz League campaign against Tyrone on Sunday.
James O’Donoghue has been selected at corner-forward in a star-studded Kerry attack that includes Michael and Paul Geaney.
Sean O’Shea has also been selected to slot in at half-forward which offers Keane’s side another strong scoring outlet.
They also have Tommy Walsh to call upon as the Kerins O’Rahillys star takes his place on the bench. The 2009 All-Ireland winner returned to training with Kerry ahead of the 2019 campaign.
He featured for the county under Eamonn Fitzmaurice during the 2016 Allianz Football League. Walsh then dropped off the panel prior to that year’s championship, citing a lack of game-time as the reason for his departure.
Peter Crowley will bring plenty of experience to the Kingdom’s defence along with Tadhg Morley, Paul Murphy and Tom O’Sullivan who make-up the half-back line.
Throw-in for the clash with Tyrone at Fitzgerald Stadium is at 2pm.
2018 league finalists Galway have also named their team for their opening tie against Cavan on Sunday, with Shane Walsh selected to start at corner-forward.
Seán Andy Ó’Ceallaigh and Gareth Bradshaw are included in the full-back line while Thomas Flynn is named to start in midfield.
