Kerry manager Declan O'Sullivan has included nine of the Kingdom's 2018 All-Ireland MFC winning side in his team for tonight's much-anticipated Munster U20FC semi-final against Cork at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

Goalkeeper Marc Kelliher, defenders Colm Moriarty, Owen Fitzgerald and Dan Murphy, midfielder Darragh Lyne and forwards Dylan Geaney, Killian Falvey and Paul O'Shea all started the Tommy Markham Cup decider against Galway three years ago. Ruaidhrí Ó Beaglaoich, who came off the bench in that final, is named at top of the left.

Paul Walsh, who was top-scorer in the 2018 All-Ireland MFC final, has to be content with a place on the subs bench.

Kelliher, full back James McCarthy, Fitzgerald, Lyne, captain Sean O'Brien, Falvey, O’Shea, and Ó Beaglaoich are the survivors from the team that beat Cork in last year's Munster U20FC final.
