God help Clare if these lads click together.

Kerry face Clare in the Munster Senior Football Championship on Sunday, June 3 and Eamonn Fitzmaurice has shown his hand. The Kingdom boss has named a mighty strong side to kick off their quest for Sam Maguire in Killarney and there is a return for a familiar face. James O'Donoghue is back fit again and he takes his place in an exciting full forward line that includes 2017 All Star Paul Geaney and teenage sensation David Clifford. Fitzmaurice has also paired Jack Barry with David Moran in midfield and retained the services of Micheál Burns in his half forward line. Dr Crokes goalkeeper Shane Murphy will once again captain his county.
