Kerry boss Jack O’Connor has named an unchanged starting 15 for tomorrow evening’s All-Ireland senior football championship quarter-final against Tyrone.

The All-Ireland champions cruised into the last eight with a 4-18 to 0-17 victory over Armagh in Killarney six days ago and now get set to meet the Red Hands at Croke Park for a return to the semi-finals.

O’Connor has kept the faith with the same line-up which started against the Orchard men, which includes Mark O’Shea and Sean O’Brien and Paul Geaney captaining the side from full-forward where he’s flanked by top-scorer David Clifford and Dylan Geaney.

After being red carded in the Round 1 defeat to Donegal at Fitzgerald Stadium, Dr Crokes forward Micheál Burns returns from a two-game suspension to take a place on the Kingdom’s bench where Sean O'Shea and Gavin White are also named.

Throw-in at Croke Park is at 6.15pm.
