GAA - Kerry Team:Tommy Walsh has been called into the Kerry line-up at full forward for Sunday's All-Ireland SFC final against Munster rivals Cork at Croke Park.

Walsh scored a goal in the semi-final over Meath and his inclusion means Donnacha Walsh loses out.

Several positional changes see Declan O’Sullivan move to centre forward, while Tadhg Kennelly moves to left wing forward.

Kennelly and captain Darran O’Sullivan are the only players to be starting an All-Ireland final for the first time – though O’Sullivan has previously come on as a replacement in other finals.
