KERRY boss John Kennedy has made three changes for Wednesday night’s Munster U21FC final against Cork in Páirc Uí Rinn from the team that defeated Limerick at the semi-final stage.

At midfield, Thomas Ladden partners Edmund Walsh, with Colm Moriarty dropping to the bench. The final switch sees Barry John Keane return from suspension to take his place at centre-forward as he replaces the injured Barry John Walsh.
