Síofra hopes to shine on final day

Kerry star Siofra O’Shea

The hugely influential Síofra O’Shea, who made her first start of the campaign against Armagh in the semi-final, having recovered from a horrific cruciate injury, will line out at wing forward for Kerry in Sunday’s All-Ireland final clash with Galway.

Declan Quill and Darragh Long have named a very strong side for the big match in Croke Park which throws in at 4.15pm.

Kayleigh Cronin of Dr Crokes starts at full back while the full forward has a familiar East Kerry look with Rathmore’s Danielle Ryan and Glenflesk’s Emma Dineen will line out alongside the brilliant Louise Ní Mhuircheartaigh from Corca Dhuibhne.
