Paul Geaney returns to Kerry panel for Armagh All-Ireland quarter final clash

Irish Examiner4 hours ago

Paul Geaney returns to the Kerry panel for Sunday's All-Ireland quarter-final against Armagh as Tom O'Sullivan is named to line out at wing-back.
Dylan Casey is restored to the team in one of two changes from the side that began the preliminary quarter-final victory over Cavan in Killarney last Saturday.
He comes in for Tadhg Morley who he replaced in the second half of the game in Fitzgerald Stadium. Micheál Burns is added at the expense of injured Diarmuid O'Connor.
Paul Geaney is named on the bench along with Paudie Clifford who saw some game-time against Cavan. However, Tony Brosnan and Mike Breen are again not among the 26 match-day panel. Graham O'Sullivan went off injured in the previous game but has at least been announced to begin in Croke Park.
It's a depleted group Kerry have named when you consider the team that commenced last year's All-Ireland semi-final defeat to Armagh. While all but one (Tadhg Morley) of the defence are set to start once more, there are five changes from midfield up – Seán O'Brien, Burns, O'Sullivan and Conor and Dylan Geaney for Diarmuid O'Connor, Brosnan, Paudie Clifford, Dara Moynihan and Paul Geaney.
KERRY (SFC v Armagh): S. Ryan; P. Murphy, J. Foley, D. Casey; B. Ó Beaglaoich, G. White (c), T. O'Sullivan; S. O'Brien, J. O'Connor; M. Burns, S. O'Shea, G. O'Sullivan; D. Clifford, C. Geaney, D. Geaney.
Subs: S. Murphy, P. Clifford, E. Looney, K. Spillane, T.L. O'Sullivan, A. Heinrich, M. O'Shea, T. Kennedy, D. Lyne, P. Geaney, D. Moynihan.

Two changes for Kerry ahead of Armagh quarter-final

KERRY HAVE made two changes for Sunday's All-Ireland quarter-final against Armagh at Croke Park (throw-in: 4pm).
