Kerry call on O'Se and O'Leary

2007 All Star defender Tomas O'Se has been drafted into the Kerry team for tomorrow night's NFL Division 1 clash with Tyrone in Tralee, throw-in 7pm.

O'Se was used as a first half substitute in the Kingdom's one-point defeat to Donegal two weeks ago but has got the nod at right half-back this time around.

For the visit of the Red Hands, Kerry manager Pat O'Shea has opted to move Tommy Griffin to midfield with Micheal Quirke dropping to the bench, and up front, Eoin Brosnan, who scored an own goal last time out, makes way for Kieran O'Leary.

O'Se's inclusion means Kerry will line out with the same defensive unit, including goalkeeper Diarmuid Murphy, which served them so well in last year's All-Ireland final win over Cork.

Meanwhile, Tyrone have made three changes for the trip south with Pascal McConnell preferred to John Devine in goal and Niall Gormley and Owen Mulligan included in the attack.

Gormley and Mulligan join Colm McCullagh in the full-forward line, with Ryan Mellon and Shaun O'Neill the players to make way.

Tyrone, who drew with Kildare last time out, have been stretched by injury already this season but will have Ryan McMenamin, Sean Cavanagh, Justin McMahon and Mickey McGee back on the bench this weekend.

However, utility player Joe McMahon is to sit out the remainder of the National League campaign due to a groin injury.
