KERRY BOSS MICKEY Ned O’Sullivan has made four changes for Sunday’s Munster minor football final against Tipperary in Fitzgerald Stadium at 12pm.
The Kingdom outfit has been altered from the team that got the better of Waterford at the semi-final stage in May.
Robert Wharton comes into the side at left half-back while Conor Jordan is drafted in at midfield where he will partner Austin Stacks club mate Greg Horgan.
In attack Kevin Shanahan will start at wing-forward and Shane O’Connor gets the nod to play at full-forward.
The four players who will drop to the bench are Brian Sugrue, Kieran Murphy, Cian O’Connor and Éanna Ó Conchúir.
There are five survivors from the Kerry team that lost to Tipperary by 2-14 to 1-14 in last year’s Munster minor final in the defensvie duo Cathal Ó Luing and David Foran, midfielder Greg Horan, and the attacking pair of Jack Savage and Conor Keane.
Ó Conchúir, who started last July’s decider in the Gaelic Grounds, is on the bench on this occasion.
