Kerry and Meath have both named unchanged teams for Sunday's All-Ireland senior football final at Croke Park.

Kerry – who are competing in the senior showpiece for the first time since 2012 – have elected to stick with the same team who started in their semi-final win over Mayo. 

The Kingdom came through that last-four tie against Mayo with an impressive victory, putting four goals past the Connacht side.

Kerry haven't won the title since 1993, and are seeking a record 12th All-Ireland crown this weekend.

Defending champions Meath stick with the same side who narrowly overcame Donegal in the semi-final.

The Royals are looking to secure a senior two-in-a-row after winning the title last year over Dublin.
