Kerry team-captain Paul O'Donoghue regains his place at centre-forward for the All-Ireland JFC final against Mayo at Croke Park on Saturday.

O'Donoghue comes into attack for Kevin O'Sullivan as part of three changes made by manager Stephen Wallace from the semi-final victory over Lancashire.

Patrick Clifford (right half-back) and John C O'Connor (midfield) also start in place of Laurence Bastible and Michael O'Donnell respectively.

It will be a repeat of last year's decider between the counties which the Kingdom won comfortably at headquarters by 2-18 to 0-10.

Kerry (JFC v Mayo): Darragh O'Shea; Fionan Clifford, Jason Foley, Cathal O Luing; Patrick Clifford, Andrew Barry, Robert Wharton; Adrian Spillane, John C O'Connor; Brian O Seanachain, Paul O'Donoghue, David Foran; Niall O'Shea, Kieran Hurley, Sean Michaal O Conchuir.

Subs: Kieran Fitzgibbon, Kevin O'Sullivan, Dara O'Shea, Laurence Bastible, Sean T Dillon, Michael O'Donnell, Dara Roche, Adam Barry, Lee O'Donoghue.
