No room for Colm Cooper as Kerry make 5 changes for Munster football final

Kerry are bidding for a third successive Munster title.

COLM COOPER HAS been dropped from the Kerry team for Sunday’s Munster football final against Cork with manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice making five changes for the clash.

Full-back Mark Griffin, midfielder Anthony Maher and the attacking duo of Paul and Mikey Geaney all make way from the starting side as well.

Fionn Fitzgerald comes back in to the side in defence while David Moran is recalled to start at midfield.

In the half-forward line Stephen O’Brien and Donnchadh Walsh are both handed starting berths in the half-forward positions.

While 2014 Footballer of the Year James O’Donoghue gets the nod at corner-forward to start alongside captain Kieran Donaghy.

Throw-in in Killarney is 2pm.
