THE KERRY AND Derry teams have been announced ahead of Sunday’s All-Ireland senior football championship quarter-final showdown at Croke Park.

Jack O’Connor has named an unchanged Kerry side from their group stage win over Louth, while Mickey Harte has kept the Derry changes to a minimum.

There’s one switch to the starting 15 that overcame Mayo last weekend: Eunan Mulholland comes in for Emmett Bradley.

Niall Loughlin returns to the bench after injury in a significant boost, while Graham O’Sullivan is back in the Kerry matchday squad following his own ankle setback.

Dessie Farrell has named an unchanged Dublin side for their last-eight clash with Galway at GAA HQ tomorrow. He sticks with the team that started their group stage draw against Mayo a fortnight ago.

Pádraig Joyce, meanwhile, has a full-strength side to select from, with Shane Walsh listed to start despite going off with an apparent thigh injury against Monaghan last week. Damien Comer also starts for The Tribesmen.

Meanwhile, Armagh and Roscommon have both made one change each ahead of their quarter-final on Saturday.

Paddy Burns starts ahead of Ciaran Higgins in defence for the Orchard county, while Ronan Daly replaces Dylan Ruane on the Rossies’ team sheet.

Jim McGuinness has made one change to his Donegal side that beat Clare, with Dáire Ó Baoill coming in ahead of Odhrán Doherty. Jason McGee, Gavin Mulreaney and Caolan McColgan are listed on the bench after missing recent action through injury.
