LAST UPDATE | 9 Jul

GAVIN WHITE HAS been named in the Kerry defence for Sunday’s All-Ireland football semi-final against Dublin, while team-mates Brian Ó Beaglaoich and Tom O’Sullivan are selected amongst the substitutes.

Kerry have announced the same starting 15 that played in the quarter-final win over Tyrone, with White included at wing-back after he came in as a late replacement for Ó Beaglaoich in that Croke Park clash.

An Ghaeltacht player Ó Beaglaoich is named amongst the substitutes, as is Dingle All-Ireland senior club winner O’Sullivan, after he has endured an injury-disrupted campaign.

Dublin have named the same side that started in their quarter-final success over Galway. 

Seán MacMahon is included in defence after coming off with a hamstring injury against the Tribesmen.

Vice-captain Eoin Murchan, who has been out with a hamstring problem since the Leinster tie against Wicklow, is named on the standby list of players, while Cuala’s Eoghan O’Callaghan is an addition to the subs.
