THE Kerry Senior Football Team to play Clare in the All Ireland Senior Football Championship Quarter Final in Croke Park on Sunday at 2pm shows three changes in personnel from the side that defeated Tipperary in the Munster Final.

It’s an all Tralee midfield as David Moran starts instead of Bryan Sheehan to join Stacks man Kieran Donaghy and up front, James O’Donoghue returns for his first start since last year’s All Ireland final in place of the injured Colm Cooper.

Peter Crowley comes into the half back line in place of Aidan O’Mahony who was a late replacement for the injured Laune Rangers man last day out.

The substitutes list contains three of this year’s Under 21 side, Tom O’Sullivan, Barry O’Sullivan and Tony Brosnan, who make the championship match day squad for the first time.

Michael Geaney, who replaced Colm Cooper in the course of the Munster Final, misses the game through injury as do Cooper and Johnny Buckley.
