David Moran is injured for Sunday’s game.

DAVID Moran will miss Sunday’s Munster’s semi final in Thurles, his club mate Barry John Keane makes his first senior championship start, while the Gooch returns to championship action against the Premier County.

There’s no starting place for Tommy Walsh who takes his place on the bench while Jonathan Lyne of Killarney Legion makes his full Championship debut.

Colm Cooper is named at centre forward for his 77th championship game and returns to championship action for the first time since the 2013 All Ireland semi final against Dublin.
