Gavin White and Paul Geaney are set to make their 2023 Kerry bows against Roscommon on Saturday night.

White's return from injury sees him start in his usual wing-back slot for Jack O'Connor's men at Austin Stack Park, while Geaney returns to take his place on the Kingdom bench. 

Jack Barry partners Dingle's Barry Dan O'Sullivan in midfield, while Sean O'Shea will lead the attack from the 40. O'Connor will look O'Shea and inside forwards David Clifford, Tony Brosnan and Donal O'Sullivan to provide the scoring threat against Davy Burke's charges.

Elsewhere, Kevin McStay makes three changes to his Mayo side for their Allianz league game against Donegal this Sunday (3:45pm) in Ballybofey. 

Colm Reape returns to between the sticks in place of Rory Byrne with Aidan O'Shea and Ryan O'Donoghue returning to the fold in place of Cillian O'Connor and Tommy Conroy.

Diarmuid O'Connor will make his 100th appearance for Mayo on Sunday having played 56 championship games and 43 league games to date. O'Connor made his debut against Kildare in 2014 and has amassed 13-64 to date.

Finally in Hurling and Cork manager Pat Ryan has handed first starts of the season to Robert Downey, Séamus Harnedy, Alan Cadogan and Jack O’Connor as the Rebels make eight changes in total for Sunday’s final Group A clash away to Clare.
