Skipper Donaghy loses to Geaney

Kerry captain Kieran Donaghy has been named as a substitute for Sunday’s All-Ireland SFC final against Dublin, while the Kingdom have also been forced to reconfigure their full-back line following the semi-final win against Tyrone.

Donaghy, who didn’t start in the quarter-final victory over Kildare, was substituted at half-time against Tyrone and his replacement in that match, Paul Geaney, is given the number 14 shirt. In Donaghy’s absence, midfielder David Moran will captain the Kerry side.

It is the second year in a row that the nominated Kerry captain hasn’t started the final and coincidentally Fionn Fitzgerald — who stood in as skipper for Kieran O’Leary last year — is one of the players to come into Eamonn Fitzmaurice’s side’s defence, with Aidan O’Mahony the other.
