Kerry keep faith with starting 15

The Kerry selectors have named an unchanged team for tomorrow's All-Ireland football qualifier against Kildare in Thurles. Páidi O'Sé and his selectors have decided to stick with the side that hammered Fermanagh.

But Mayo, who play Tipperary in Ennis, make five changes. Defenders, Gary Ruane and James Nallen are injured, while Tom Nallen, Marty McNicholas and Conor Mortimer are dropped. Ken Mortimer and Noel Connelly come back into defence, David Brady is at midfield, while Colm McManamon and Stephen Carolan come into the attack.

Kerry: D O'Keeffe; M O'Sé, S Moynihan, M McCarthy, T O'Sé, E Fitzmaurice, J Sheehan; D O'Sé, D Daly; S O'Sullivan, E Brosnan, L Hassett; MF Russell, D O'Cinnéide, C Cooper

Mayo: P Burke; K Mortimer, D Heaney, P Coyne; N Connelly, A Roche, A Higgins; D Tiernan, D Brady; C McManamon, T Mortimer, J Gill; S Carolan, B Maloney, J Horan.
