BRIAN Ó BEAGLAÍOCH and Kevin McCarthy have both been drafted into the Kerry team to start against Monaghan on Sunday afternoon in Fitzgerald Stadium in Killarney.

The round five tie in the Allianz football league sees table-toppers Kerry bid to land a fifth straight victory to date in 2019.

Manager Peter Keane has made just two changes to his starting fifteen from last Sunday’s success over Galway in Tuam Stadium. Ó Beaglaíoch won a Sigerson Cup medal recently with UCC while McCarthy shot 3-7 last month as his club Kilcummin took All-Ireland intermediate honours. 

Shane Enright and Diarmuid O’Connor drop to the bench for a game that commences at 3pm.

Meanwhile Tyrone make three changes for their game tomorrow night against Cavan. Into the side comes Hugh Pat Mc Geary in place of Michael McKernan, while Conor Meyler and Conor McAliskey replaces Liam Rafferty plus Brian Kennedy.

McAliskey starts for the for the first time this season after coming on last week against Monaghan.
