Jimmy Barry-Murphy expects tough Tribe battle

William Kearney, twin brother of midfielder Daniel, makes his league debut as he comes in at corner-back for his Sarsfields clubmate Conor O’Sullivan. Stephen McDonnell replaces Christopher Joyce at full-back, while Brian Lawton comes in at left half-forward for Robert O’Shea.
The other two switches are in the full-forward line, Stephen Moylan and Paudie O’Sullivan selected, Alan Cadogan and Luke O’Farrell out.
