Kerry boss Pat O'Shea has included Kieran Donaghy and Killian Young on the team to face Waterford in the Munster semi-final in Dungarvan on Sunday.

The pair were suffering from minor injuries but came through late fitness tests.

Donaghy completes a very dangerous forward line by slotting in between Mike Frank Russell and Colm Cooper.

Young will take his place in the halfback line on the left of Aidan O'Mahony and Tomas O'Se, while Tommy Griffin takes his place on the bench after coming through a club game for Dingle.

It is the first time since the 1991 that Kerry have embarked on a championship campaign without the legendary Seamus Moynihan in their ranks.

Waterford

: T Wall, J Walsh, T O'Gorman, S Briggs, J Phelan, E Rockett, P Ogle, M Ahearne, G Hurney, J Hurney, A Hubbard, G Power, W Hennessy, B Wall, L O'Lionain.
