Walsh in Kingdom promotion

EXCITING teenage prospect Donncha Walsh from Cromane will make his senior intercounty debut when Kerry take on Dublin in the Allianz NFL at Fitzgerald Stadium, Killarney, on Sunday.

An outstanding minor midfield player for the past two seasons, Walsh has been chosen to play at left half-forward in a side that shows a number of changes from that which lost to Galway in the last round.

Declan O’Keeffe replaces Diarmuid Murphy in goal. Michael McCarthy takes over the full-back position from team captain Barry O’Shea, who suffered a dead leg in a club game last weekend. Marc O’Shea moves to left corner-back and Diarmuid O’Sullivan comes in to replace out of bounds Colm Cooper. Right corner-forward Declan Quill takes over the captaincy.
