GAA teams: Kerry unchanged for Derry showdown
Kerry have named the same team that outclassed Louth for Sunday’s All-Ireland SFC quarter-final clash with Derry at Croke Park.
The Kingdom sealed top spot in Group 4 with a 14-point win over the Wee County in O’Moore Park and will now look to end Derry’s summer for a second successive year as they target Sam Maguire.
A full-forward line of David Clifford, Seán O’Shea and Paul Geaney will be tasked with outgunning the Oak Leaf County, who lost to the Kingdom by two points in last year’s All-Ireland semi-final.
Mickey Harte makes one change to the team that started against Mayo in the preliminary quarter-final.
Derry kept their championship alive with a nerve-shredding penalty shootout victory against the Green above the Red.
That was a win that took the heat off Harte, who had endured plenty of criticism following a rocky showing in the group phase.
A triumph on Sunday would be fairly emphatic evidence that reports of Derry’s demise may have been exaggerated.
Eunan Mulholland replaces Emmet Bradley in their sole forwad line tweak for this one.
Kerry: Shane Ryan; Tadhg Morley, Jason Foley, Tom O’Sullivan; Paul Murphy, Gavin White, Brian Ó Beaglaoich; Diarmuid O’Connor, Joe O’Connor; Tony Brosnan, Paudie Clifford, Dara Moynihan; David Clifford, Seán O’Shea, Paul Geaney.
Subs: Shane Murphy, Dylan Casey, Cillian Burke, Mike Breen, Sean O’Brien, Adrian Spillane, Barry Dan O’Sullivan, Killian Spillane, Stephen O’Brien, Dylan Geaney, Graham O’Sullivan, Darragh Roche, Armin Heinrich.

Dublin are unchanged from their last outing – the pulsating draw with Mayo in the group stage – for their meeting with Galway on Saturday.
The reigning All-Ireland champions needed a last-gasp point from Cormac Costello to snatch a share of the spoils after a rip-roaring collision at Dr Hyde Park.
That meant that Dessie Farrell’s team finished top of Group 2 on scoring difference and qualified directly for the All-Ireland quarters.
He’ll have the likes of Paul Mannion, Jack McCaffrey and James McCarthy to call on from the bench as the Dubs aim to keep the defence of their crown on track at Croke Park.
Dublin: Stephen Cluxton; Eoin Murchan, Michael Fitzsimons, Sean McMahon; Brian Howard, John Small, Sean Bugler; Brian Fenton, Tom Lahiff; Niall Scully, Cormac Costello, Ciaran Kilkenny; Paddy Small, Con O’Callaghan, Colm Basquel
Subs: David O’Hanlon, Theo Clancy, Paul Mannion, Jack McCaffrey, James McCarthy, Greg McEneaney, Ross McGarry, Killian McGinnis, Daire Newcombe, Peadar Ó Cofaigh Byrne, Cian O’Connor, Lorcan O’Dell, Killian O’Gara
Roscommon manager Davy Burke has made one change to the side that knocked Tyrone out last week for Saturday’s quarter-final against Armagh.
Ronan Daly comes in for Dylan Ruane, lining out at centre-back as Ultan Harney moves up to centre-forward.
Orchard County boss Kieran McGeeney has also made one switch to his side, Paddy Burns coming into the full-back line in place of Ciaran Higgins.
Stefan Campbell, who scored the equalising point against Galway that sent Armagh through as Group 1 winners, is again on the bench, as is Connaire Mackin, who returns after serving a suspension.
Armagh: Blaine Hughes; Paddy Burns, Aaron McKay, Peter McGrane; Barry McCambridge, Tiernan Kelly, Aidan Forker; Niall Grimley, Ben Crealey; Oisin Conaty, Rian O’Neill, Joe McElroy; Rory Grugan, Andrew Murnin, Conor Turbitt.

Subs: Colm Lavin, Niall Daly, Conor Hussey, Dylan Ruane, Keith Doyle, Andrew Glennon, Conor Hand, Adam McDermott, Tadhg O’Rourke, Cathal Heneghan, Ciaran Lennon
