Kerry unchanged for showdown with Rebels

Kerry will field an unchanged team when they take on arch rivals Cork in Sunday's Munster SFC final in Killarney (throw-in 2pm).

Kieran Donaghy has recovered from a slight knee injury to retain his place at full-forward, but former Footballer of the Year Paul Galvin is missing from the matchday squad.

Galvin suffered a recurrence of a hamstring injury during a recent training session and will have to sit out the provincial decider.

Manager Jack O'Connor has put his faith in the 15 players who started the impressive 1-26 to 3-9 semi-final dismissal of Limerick.

That means Shane Enright continues at right corner back, as an indirect replacement for the suspended Tomás Ó Sé.

Free-taker Bryan Sheehan and Anthony Maher continue their midfielder partnership, with Séamus Scanlon, who had a recent health scare, fit enough for a place on the bench.

Unsurprisingly, the attacking sextet led by captain Colm Cooper has been kept together - they hit 1-18 between them in the Limerick game a month ago.

Barry John Keane, Michéal Quirke, Daniel Bohane and David Geaney, who were all used as substitutes last time out, will be on bench duty again.

The Kingdom beat Cork 1-15 to 1-14 in a Munster semi-final replay last year on the way to winning their first provincial title since 2007.

KERRY (SFC v Cork): Brendan Kealy; Shane Enright, Marc Ó Sé, Tom O'Sullivan; Aidan O'Mahony, Eoin Brosnan, Killian Young; Anthony Maher, Bryan Sheehan; Darran O'Sullivan, Declan O'Sullivan, Donnchadh Walsh; Colm Cooper (capt), Kieran Donaghy, Kieran O'Leary.

Subs: Tomás Mac a t'Saoir, Daniel Bohane, Barry John Keane, Brian Maguire, Michéal Quirke, Séamus Scanlon, Padraig Reidy, David Geaney, Niall O'Mahony, Peter Crowley, James O'Donoghue.
