LAST UPDATE | 13 Jun

KERRY HAVE named their side for this weekend’s All-Ireland senior football championship, Group 2, Round 3 clash with Meath.

It includes five personnel changes from the team that played Cork recently.

Experienced duo Paul Murphy and Tadhg Morley start in defence; Mark O’Shea comes in at midfield, while Killian Spillane and Dylan Geaney are named in attack.

Dylan Casey is on the bench, while Barry Dan O’Sullivan, Brian Ó Beaglaoich, Paudie Clifford, and Paul Geaney are absent.

O’Sullivan, Clifford and Geaney all went off injured in the first half of their match with Cork in the last round.

Diarmuid O’Connor is also unavailable through injury, while Dara Moynihan comes into the squad.

Saturday’s game takes place at 4.15pm in Tullamore.

Meanwhile, Dublin’s Con O’Callaghan has been named among the substitutes for Saturday’s All-Ireland SFC meeting with Derry in Newry [throw-in 6.30pm, live on GAA+].

O’Callaghan came off in the second half against Galway and didn’t play last time out versus Armagh.

Elsewhere, John Small starts in defence for Dessie Farrell’s side and Eoin Murchan returns to the matchday squad. 

The big news for Derry is that regular netminder Odhran Lynch is back in goal in their only change, with Ben McKinless on the bench.

Meanwhile, Galway bring in Seán Fitzgerald and Céin Darcy to start, for Seán Mulkerrin and Sam O’Neill.

They face Armagh in a crunch Group 4 Round 3 fixture. The defending All-Ireland SFC champions have also shown their hand. Rory Grugan and Ben Crealy are among the absentees, while Stefan Campbell starts and Aaron McKay returns to the 26.
