Ronan Shanahan of Austin Stacks, comes into the side at corner back for his first competitive game in a Kerry jersey, Jack Barry makes his first full League debut having played in midfield for all but the first four minutes of the game against Donegal and former Kerry Minor, Under 21 and Junior player Adrian Spillane makes his League debut in the half forward line.
This trio replace Shane Enright (following the return to play protocol after injury), and Under 21 players Jason Foley and Tom O’Sullivan who are listed in the subs. Denis Daly of St Marys joins the match day squad.
Jack Barry made a big impression when he came on last weekend for the injured Shane Enright. The Oakpark clubman was a Kerry Minor in 2012 and played Under 21 in 2015. He played in the recent McGrath Cup final against Limerick.
