All-Ireland MFCKerry minor football manager John Kennedy has made one change in personnel and a number of positional switches for tomorrow's All-Ireland final replay against Roscommon in Ennis.

Patrick Curtin of Moyvane, who came in as a substitute in the drawn game, retains his place at right half forward, with centre forward Daniel O'Shea being the player to miss out.

There are reshuffles at midfield and in the half-forward line where David Moran joins his Kerins O'Rahilly's team-mate Tommy Walsh at midfield, with Gary O'Driscoll of Skellig Rangers now starting on the 40.

To make room for Curtin, who has already scored 2-2 in the championship, Johnny Buckley from Dr Crokes moves to left half forward.
