Jack O’Connor has named a strong Kerry side to open their 2022 campaign against Limerick tonight in the McGrath Cup.

The Kingdom are without their Austin Stacks’ contingent for the Tralee clash, while Covid and injuries within the squad also see a handful missing.

Nonetheless, Dara Moynihan, Stephen O’Brien, Killian Spillane, Paudie Clifford and Paul Geaney all start in the Munster champions’ attack while David Clifford captains the side from full-forward.

Na Gaeil’s Stefan Okunbor makes his county senior debut at midfield alongside Gavin Crowley, with Shane Murphy starting between the posts after having recently returned to O’Connor’s panel.

Throw-in at Austin Stack Park is at 7.00pm.

Kerry (McGrath Cup v Limerick): Shane Murphy; Dan O Donoghue, Jason Foley, Tom O’Sullivan; Pa Warren, Mike Breen, Gavin Crowley; Stefan Okunbor, Adrian Spillane; Dara Moynihan, Paudie Clifford, Stephen O’Brien; Killian Spillane, David Clifford, Paul Geaney.

Subs: Shane Ryan, Tony Brosnan, Brian Ó Beaglaíoch, Sean O’Shea, Micheál Burns, Jack Savage, Paul O’Shea, Dara Roche, Cian Gammell.
