Moynihan, O'Cinneide return for Kerry

Inter-county heavyweights Seamus Moynihan and Dara O'Cinneide have been recalled to the Kerry starting XV for Sunday's Munster SFC final clash with Cork.

Inter-county heavyweights Seamus Moynihan and Dara O'Cinneide have been recalled to the Kerry starting XV for Sunday's Munster SFC final clash with Cork.

Two-time All-star Moynihan and 2004 All-Ireland winning skipper O'Cinneide, who kicked a point each as substitutes in the Kingdom's semi-final defeat of Limerick, have beefed up Jack O'Connor's side considerably.

Moynihan comes in for Eamonn Fitzmaurice at the back, and free-taker O'Cinneide is an indirect replacement for Paddy Kelly at full-forward.

With Kelly dropping to the bench, Eoin Brosnan switches from centre forward back to midfield to partner Darragh O Se.

Brosnan's usual role will be assumed by team captain Declan O'Sullivan, who began up front against Limerick.

Kerry last met Cork in the championship thirteen months ago, when the Kingdom side ran out 0-15 to 0-7 Munster semi-final winners, mainly thanks to a seven-point haul from Mike-Frank Russell.

KERRY (SFC v Cork): D Murphy; A O'Mahony, M McCarthy, T O'Sullivan; T O Se, S Moynihan, M O Se; D O Se, E Brosnan; P Galvin, D O'Sullivan (capt), L Hassett; C Cooper, D O Cinneide, MF Russell.
