JOHN Mitchels sharpshooter, Alan O’Donoghue, will captain the Kerry juniors in Sunday’s Munster Championship Semi Final v Tipperary.

The young forward has been in blistering form in the county league and is the only Tralee man in the starting 15, while Churchill players Michael Brennan and Cillian Fitzgerald are on the bench.
