Thu 08 Aug 2006Kerry are unchanged as Russell holds place
Kerry have resisted the urge to make changes to the side that defeated Armagh in that titanic quarter-final the week before last. It means Mike Frank Russell is retained at corner forward against Cork on Sunday despite some speculation he might lose out although the injury to Bryan Sheehan limited manager Jack O'Connor's options in attack.
Otherwise the team picked itself with Kieran Donaghy lining out in the full-forward position in which he has been lighting bonfires since switching from centrefield. The big Austin Stacks player's ability under the high ball has been crucial to Kerry's turnaround since losing their Munster title to Cork after a replayed final last month.
