Kerry have made one change in personnel to the team which defeated Cork ahead of this Sunday's All-Ireland quarter-final clash with Galway in Croke Park.

Dingle's Michael Geaney comes into the side in place of Stephen O'Brien who is sidelined with a quad muscle injury.

The team will line out as follows:

Kerry (SFC v Galway): Brian Kelly; Marc Ó Sé, Aidan O'Mahony, Shane Enright; Paul Murphy, Killian Young, Fionn Fitzgerald; Anthony Maher, Johnny Buckley; Michael Geaney, Bryan Sheehan, Donnchadh Walsh; Paul Geaney, Declan O'Sullivan, James O'Donoghue.

Is dóca go bhfuil na Ciarraíthe ag fanú le an Cluiche Leath - Cheannais agus nach bhfuil aon suim i nGaillimh. Ní raibh ach scata an bheag dóibh amach an Satharn seo caite.

When is the last time Galway beat Kerry in the Championship?

1965?

1965 I think. We used to beat them regularly back then. Have lost 4 and drawn once since then.

In fairness we hardly met all all during the 70's, 80's or 90's. Just once I think in the mid 80's. Which we lost.

Drew and lost in 2000, lost in 2003, lost in 2008.

Is dóca go bhfuil na Ciarraíthe ag fanú le an Cluiche Leath - Cheannais agus nach bhfuil aon suim i nGaillimh. Ní raibh ach scata an bheag dóibh amach an Satharn seo caite.

Beidh slua mór mílteach ann ón nGaillimh is dócha?! Beidh cúpla míle againn i Croker De Domhnaigh, sin é. Tá na mionúirí ag imirt i Durlas Eile ar an Luain agus is fad an bothair idir Waterville, Caherdaniel, Lauragh agus Ath Cliath!

Bhí cluiche maith, crua idir Ciarraí agus Gaillimh i 2008, agus tá súil agam go mbeidh cluiche beagánín níos "crua" againn an am seo!

Having seen the Kerry team with Mikey Geaney starting, you can wipe 3 or 4 points off Kerry's advantage already anyway. A terrible call by management.

Sin é an plean atá agamsa, ach na clainn mór agus na daoine ag dul ar ais go dtí feirmeacha agus mar sin, níl sé éasca!

I wouldn't be that stunned, realistically what are Galway's chances of winning this? 23.08% according to the betting, slightly less than a one in four chance in a two horse race, hard enough to get enthusiastic about those odds.
Are Kerry as good as they looked against Cork? Probably not, but they look a better drilled team than Galway in terms of setup and tactics, despite a number of new faces they still have better, more experienced players. In comparison, Galway have no All Stars, no player who has won a senior match in Croke Park, indeed only a bare handful of players with Connacht medals, who would make the Kerry team from the Galway team? Conroy for sure but outside that? Walsh maybe. Hard to make a case for many more.

I'd absolutely love for Galway to cause a huge upset and perform at a level that we haven't seen yet, if Sunday is the day that it comes then great but on all known form it isn't going to happen plus although there are signs that the Galway attack is coming back to a decent level, the defence is a total sieve, conceding 3-14 and 4-12 in it's last two games and Kerry are a significant cut above Tipperary all over the pitch with James O'Donoghue probably the most in form forward in the game at present.

I think it'll be a Mayo Kerry semi-final which could be a cracker of a match, the Kerry lads and everyone else in the country (including most of Galway) expect Kerry to win this match handy, I don't think it will be an issue due to Fitzmaurice but Kerry complacency and for their stars to be slightly below par on the day combined with a level of performance that we haven't seen from this Galway team before is the only chance Galway have on Sunday.

Your MEP in 2011

Roscommon & South Leitrim has massive
potential to increase its share of tourism revenue
which in 2010 stood at €52 million. This pales
into insignificance when compared to the €430
million that Galway earns


Gaeltacht makes Galway what it is .  Worth at least 52 million annually.

Galway to win by 2. It will be shock of the season so far
