Donaghy to start for Kingdom
Kieran Donaghy is back in the Kerry starting XV for their All-Ireland football qualifier against Longford at Pearse Park on Saturday.
Donaghy, who suffered a broken bone in his foot during the NFL final against Derry, has healed quicker than expected and takes his place at full forward. Tommy Walsh moves to left corner forward in place of Bryan Sheehan.
Other changes from the defeat to Cork see Aidan O'Shea come in at left half back for his first Championship start, while Walsh and Sean O'Sullivan are named in the half forward line in place of the suspended Paul Galvin and the injured Tadhg Kennelly.
Seamus Scanlon comes into the midfield alongside Darragh O'Shea.
Kerry XV v Longford on the All Ireland SFC Qualifier at Pearse Park on Saturday, 5.00pm:
D Murphy; K Young, T Griffin, T O'Sullivan; T O Se, M O Se, A O'Shea; D O Se, S Scanlon; D Walsh, Declan O'Sullivan, S O'Sullivan; C Cooper, K Donaghy, T Walsh.
