Moynihan left on the bench for final

Talismanic Kerry defender Seamus Moynihan has been named on the bench for Sunday's All-Ireland final against Mayo at Croke Park.

Talismanic Kerry defender Seamus Moynihan has been named on the bench for Sunday's All-Ireland final against Mayo at Croke Park.

The Glenflesk man hasn't played for the Kingdom since the Munster semi-final victory over Cork, in which he picked up an ankle injury, and has not recovered sufficiently to make the starting line-up.

Johnny Crowley is the only enforced change to the side that defeated Derry in the semi-final. The attacker, a club mate of Moynihan's, is selected at top of the left and Eoin Brosnan moves to midfield to replace the injured Darragh O Sé.

Declan O'Sullivan leads the attack in Brosnan's place.

Kerry will be attempting to win the All-Ireland SFC title for the 33rd time and the first since 2000 when they beat Galway.

Mayo are looking for the fourth title and their first in 53 years.

They last appeared in the final in 1997, when they lost to their opponents this Sunday.

KERRY (SF v Mayo): D Murphy; T O'Sullivan, M McCarthy, A O'Mahony; T O Sé, E Fitzmaurice, M O Sé; E Brosnam, W Kirby; L Hassett, D O'Sullivan, P Galvin; C Cooper, D O Cinnéide, J Crowley.
