Three changes to Kerry team to face Dublin with captain dropped to bench for All-Ireland final

Dublin name their team tomorrow night.

KERRY HAVE MADE three changes for Sunday’s All-Ireland final against Dublin.

Fionn Fitzgerald and Aidan O’Mahony come into the full back line instead of Paul Murphy and Marc Ó Sé while Paul Geaney takes over from Kieran Donaghy in the full forward position.

There have been injury concerns over Murphy and Ó Sé with the 2014 All-Ireland final man-of-the-match from Rathmore and the long-serving stalwart from An Ghaeltacht named on the bench.

Captain Donaghy is also omitted with Geaney rewarded for a superb contribution when introduced against Tyrone in the semi-final.

The strength of Kerry’s bench is shown by the fact that the subs have 28 All-Ireland senior medals and 12 Allstar awards between them.
