Kerry boss Jack O'Connor has made one change to the side that snatched victory against Roscommon on the opening day of their AFL Division 1 campaign for the round two clash with Jim McGuinness' Donegal. 

It's a straight swap in the middle of the park, with St Senan's midfielder Cillian Trant coming into the side in place of Glenbeigh-Glencar's Liam Smith. 

The rest of the side remains unchanged, with last weekend's match-winner Tomás Kennedy retained in the full-forward line alongside David Clifford and Tony Brosnan.

Cork football manager John Cleary has retained 14 of the starting 15 that secured a last-gasp victory over Cavan in their league opener for the trip to Louth.

Maurice Shanley comes in for Sean Brady, who the Clonakilty man replaced in Cork's back-line with 10 minutes remaining at Supervalu Páirc Uí Chaoimh last Sunday, while St Finbarrs' Steven Sherlock remains on the bench.

Meanwhile, the Galway hurlers have made two changes to their starting team for Saturday evening's Division 1A clash with Cork from the side which lost to Tipperary in the opening round.

Saturday's game at Pearse Stadium throws in at 7pm and will be broadcast live on TG4. 

The Galway footballers have made no changes to their starting team for their visit to the Athletic Grounds to play Armagh on Saturday evening. 

That game throws in at 5pm and will be live on RTÉ2. 

There are also no changes to the Tipperary football team to play Antrim from their side which drew with London last weekend.
