Injuries force host of Kerry changes for Tyrone game

THE Kerry selectors have made numerous enforced positional and personnel changes for Sunday’s clash with reigning Allianz NFL champions Tyrone at Fitzgerald Stadium.

The Kingdom defence will be without the injured trio of Séamus Moynihan, Michael McCarthy, and Barry O’Shea and as a result the back-line has been realigned by the management team.

An Ghaeltacht’s Tomás Ó Sé is moved from his usual wing position and has now been entrusted with the problematic full back position, while Eamonn Fitzmaurice has been selected at centre back, where he will be flanked by Tom O’Sullivan and John Sheehan. Liam Hassett, who has returned from his honeymoon is included at right half forward, while Colm Cooper freed from suspension takes over his customary left corner forward position. The promising young Declan O'Sullivan fills the full forward spot in the absence of the injured Dara Cinnéide.
