Bergin ruled out of Kerry clash

Galway midfielder Joe Bergin picked up an Achilles tendon injury in the win over Mayo last weekend and will not be fit to face All-Ireland champions Kerry at Pearse Stadium on Sunday.

His place in the middle goes to Niall Coleman, with the rest of the side unchanged following the 2-09 to 1-11 victory over Connacht rivals Mayo last time out.

Division One leaders Galway need a solitary point to ensure their place in the NFL semi-finals, while third placed Kerry need a victory.

Throw-in in Salthill is 2.30pm.

Galway XV v Kerry: P Doherty, K Fitzgerald, F Hanley, D Burke, G Sice, N Coyne, D Mullally, N Coleman, B Cullinane, P Clancy, P Joyce, D Meehan, M Clancy, M Meehan, F Breathnach.
