Kerry team shows two changes

Former Footballer of the Year Kieran Donaghy has won his place back in the Kerry team to play Cavan in Sunday's All-Ireland SFC quarter-final at Croke Park (throw-in 2pm).

Donaghy was dropped for the recent Munster final win over Cork - he came off the bench for Donnchadh Walsh in the closing stages - but he returns for the Kingdom's first Championship clash with Cavan since 1997.

The Tralee target man resumes at full-forward, coming in for James O'Donoghue who has been suffering from a hamstring strain since the 1-16 to 0-17 victory over Cork.

The only other change made by Kingdom manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice is in defence where Dr. Crokes clubman Fionn Fitzgerald, who is in his first senior Championship, slots in at corner back in place of Mark Griffin.

O'Donoghue is not rated fit enough for bench duty, but thanks to a quicker than expected recovery from a dislocated elbow - 'remarkable progress' according to Fitzmaurice - experienced defender Aidan O'Mahony is listed among the Kerry substitutes.

The selected team includes 11 players who started Kerry's loss to eventual champions Donegal in last year's All-Ireland quarter-finals - the missing quartet are O'Donoghue and three of this weekend's substitutes, O'Mahony, Eoin Brosnan and Bryan Sheehan.

The Kingdom boast a hugely impressive quarter-final record with only two defeats in 12 successive quarter-final outings, with both reversals coming in recent years to Down (2010) and Donegal (2012).

KERRY (SFC v Cavan): Brendan Kealy; Fionn Fitzgerald, Marc Ó Sé, Shane Enright; Tomás Ó Sé, Killian Young, Peter Crowley; Anthony Maher, Johnny Buckley; Paul Galvin, Colm Cooper (capt), Donnchadh Walsh; Declan O'Sullivan, Kieran Donaghy, Darran O'Sullivan.

Subs: Brian Kelly, Mark Griffin, Eoin Brosnan, Bryan Sheehan, Kieran O'Leary, Patrick Curtin, David Moran, Jack Sherwood, Paul Geaney, Aidan O'Mahony, Michael Geaney.
