He was more recently involved with Kerry Juniors. Sean Dee (Beale) Succeeded O'Sullivan as the Kerry Junior sub goalkeeper this year, his participat­ion is likely to be in doubt with the North Kerry Senior Championsh­ip Final replay scheduled for the following day. Giles O'Grady (Kerins O'Rahillys) The former Ballyduff player has been with Strand Road since 2008; O'Grady is a tenacious player who is most comfortabl­e at a weing back but he has been struggling with a number of injuries since he made the switch. Sean McCarthy (Killarney Legion) A member of the St Brendans College, Killarney team that got to the Hogan Cup Final in 2010 after winning the Corn Uí Mhuirí the same year, McCarthy has won two U-21 Club Championsh­ips medals with his club in the last two years.

Damien Somers (St Senans) A Kerry Minor in 2010, Somers has been part of an upswing in the club's fortunes on the Kerry football ladder in recent years and also featured for Feale Rangers in the Senior County Championsh­ip in 2012. Brendan Poff (St Pats/Blennervil­le) Has been a mainstay for his club in the last number of years as well as St Brendans, but has worn the county colours over the last number of years at Junior level. He was part of 2012's All-Ireland winning panel. Darren Wallace (Ardfert) While equally adept as a Hurler, having played Minor, U-21 and Senior for Kerry, Wallace was on Ardfert's double All-Ireland Club winning panel back in 2006 and 2007. Shane Carroll (Austin Stacks, below) A minor and U-21 Footballer with Kerry, Carroll first caught the eye back in 2007 when he played in the Hogan Cup Final for Tralee CBS. Scored a superb effort from the sideline in the Kerry U-21s gallant defeat to Cork in the Munster Final back in April. David Mannix (Austin Stacks) A late developer in Football terms, Mannix overcame a lack of inter-county football underage to emerge as one of the key players for his club Austin Stacks in recent times. Alan O'Donoghue (John Mitchels) A player who has followed a similar path to the aforementi­oned Carroll, O'Donoghue was part of the Tralee CBS 2007 Hogan Cup runners-up team before going on to represent

Kerry at Minor and U-21 level. Daniel Murphy
