Jack O'Connor makes three changes for Kerry's U21 semi-final

The Kingdom do battle with Limerick in Tralee for a spot in the Munster decider.

KERRY HAVE MADE three changes to their starting XV ahead of their EirGrid Munster U21 football championship semi-final against Limerick tomorrow night (7.30).

Barry O’Sullivan replaces Greg Horan in midfield, David Foran comes in for the injured Brandon Barrett in the half-forward line and Killian Spillane takes over on the edge of the square from Eanna Ó Conchúir for the game at Tralee’s Austin Stack Park.

Jack O’Connor’s side won their first game at the age-grade since 2012 with a one-point victory against Tipperary in Tralee last Wednesday night.

Five of the side remain from the team that lost to Cork in last year’s provincial semi-final; Brian Ó Beagaloich, Cathal Ó Lúing, Barry O’Sullivan, Micheál Burns and Jack Savage.

The selection also includes 10 players who won All-Ireland minor medals in 2014 or 2015.
