Kerry look too crafty for Tipp

FOR all the talk about the personnel losses Kerry have suffered over the winter, the starting side Jack O’Connor selected for tomorrow still has a formidable and imposing look to it.

They still have 10 of last year’s All-Ireland winning team, Brendan Kealy is a solid netminder and the inclusion of Quirke, Walsh, Donaghy and Sheehan between numbers nine and 15 does not seem to appreciably weaken their lineup.

Whether the selected team is the one that does start in Semple Stadium at 4pm tomorrow is debatable. Marc and Tomás O Sé remain injury concerns, particularly the latter of the An Ghaeltacht brothers, and if he fails to make it, then expect Marc to move out to the wing and Padraig Reidy to slot into the corner.
