GAA/National Football League Team news: Kerry have handed the full back position to Tom O'Sullivan for Sunday's match against Armagh in Tralee in the concluding round of the National Football league. A win for either side could edge them into the semi-final round, although Armagh are far better positioned with two points more than Kerry, and with the superior points difference.

O'Sullivan is in fact Kerry's fourth-choice full back but was moved into the position for their last game - against Tyrone - having originally been named at wing back. The Rathmore clubman did a reasonably good job in containing Peter Canavan and even with Seamus Moynihan, Michael McCarthy and Barry O'Shea still on the injured list, manager Páidí Ó Sé had enough confidence in O'Sullivan to keep him in the position.
