KERRY MANAGER EAMONN Fitzmaurice has this evening named his team for the All-Ireland semi-final clash with Dublin.
His side shows just the one change in personnel from the one that coasted past Clare in the quarter-final, with the fit again Colm Cooper coming in for Darran O’Sullivan.
Captain Bryan Sheehan has to settle for a place on the bench.
Michael Geaney and Johnny Buckley also return to the fold and take their place on the bench for the much-anticipated renewal of football’s great rivalry.
Cooper missed last month’s win over Clare after damaging his collarbone in the Munster final but the Dr Crokes man has shaken off the problem to start Sunday’s sold-out showdown.
It will be his 85th championship game, putting him just three behind Tomás and Marc Ó Sé in Kerry’s all-time appearance list.
Kerry have lost their last three championship games against Jim Gavin’s Dublin, who are two games away from lifting the Sam Maguire for a third time in four years.
Throw-in at Croke Park is at 4pm.
