Despite being without attacking stars Sean O’Shea and David Clifford, who are part of the Kerry senior side gearing up for the Munster final against Cork on Saturday week, O’Connor is able to select a strong side.

Eleven of the side featured at some stage in Kerry’s 2016 All-Ireland minor final victory over Galway are named here. Defenders David Naughton, Stefan Okunbar, Mike Breen, Graham O’Sullivan and Daniel O’Brien, the midfield pairing of Mark Ryan and Diarmuid O’Connor, along with attackers Cormac Linnane, Dara Moynihan, David Shaw and Bryan Sweeney played against the Tribesmen.
