LAST UPDATE | 3 Aug 2018

ÉAMONN FITZMAURICE HAS made three changes to his Kerry team for their final Super 8s clash against Kildare as they go in search of a place in the All-Ireland SFC semi-finals.

Killian Young returns to the starting line-up from suspension and is named to take his place at centre-back. He was issued a red card in Kerry’s opening Super 8s defeat to Galway at Croke Park.

Peter Crowley moves to full-back as Mark Griffin makes way while Jason Foley replaces Ronan Shanahan at corner-back.

Micheál Burns joins the Kerry attack in place of Kevin McCarthy who drops to the bench, while James O’Donoghue is named among the substitutes for the Saturday fixture [Throw-in, 6pm].

Kerry host the Lilywhites at Fitzgerald Stadium where they will need a win to strengthen their chances of qualifying for the last-four. They will also need Galway to beat Monaghan at which point their future in the All-Ireland championship will come down to score difference, which currently stands at Kerry (-3) and Monaghan (+2).

Meanwhile, Kildare boss Cian O’Neill has opted to make just one adjustment in personnel for what will be a dead rubber tie for Kildare.

Niall Kelly has been selected to start in place of the suspended Daniel Flynn, who was issued a red card in the Lilywhite’s defeat to Galway which ended their hopes of progressing out of the Super 8s.

Earlier this week, the GAA’s Central Hearings Committee (CHC) upheld the one-game ban imposed on the Kildare forward.
