Kerry manager Peter Keane has made three changes ahead of his side's Round 4 Allianz National Football League tie against Meath.

All-Star corner back Tom O'Sullivan comes in for his first start of the season in place of Jason Foley, experienced defender Shane Enright is in for Gavin Crowley, and Dara Moynihan replaces Killian Spillane at No. 13.

Midfielder Liam Kearney retains his place in the team following a string of solid performances, as does industrious half forward Micheál Burns.

Team captain David Clifford, who was harshly sent off in Kerry's one-point defeat to Tyrone, will take up his usual position at full forward.

The Kingdom currently lie in joint fourth in Division 1 with one win, one draw and one defeat from their opening three games.

Meath come to Killarney in desperate need of a result having failed to pick up any points in their fixtures against Tyrone, Donegal and Mayo.

The match throws-in at 1pm in the Fitzgerald Stadium. The curtain-raiser for the men's game will see the Kerry Ladies take on Tyrone at 11am.

 

Kerry team to play Meath:

  1. Shane Ryan (Rathmore)
  2. Graham O'Sullivan (Piarsaigh na Dromoda)
  3. Tahdg Morley (Templenoe)
  4. Tom O'Sullivan (Dingle)
  5. Paul Murphy (Rathmore)
  6. Shane Enright (Tarbert)
  7. Gavin White (Dr Crokes)

Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce has expressed condolences following the death of Dick Henggeler, the well-known owner of The Rose Hotel in Tralee.

Mr Henggeler passed away peacefully at his home in Baltimore, USA surrounded by his Aghadoe-born wife Eibhlin (née Moriarty), their son Franz, and other family members.
Dick and Eibhlin purchased The Rose Hotel in 2015 in tribute to their late daughter Dorothy, who represented Washington DC in the 2011 Rose of Tralee Festival.
The Chamber said Mr Henggeler would be remembered for his warmth, good nature and positive approach, as well as for being a forward-thinking and knowledgeable businessman.
“He knew how to run a good hotel and that was and still is very obvious at The Rose Hotel, which is a great success story,” the Chamber said.
It added that continuity of ownership will remain in place, with Eibhlin, Franz, daughter-in-law Amber, and grandchildren Conrad and Rowan continuing to honour Dick’s legacy and vision for the hotel.
“Dick took enormous personal pride in Tralee and all of Kerry and he was always available to generously support any community initiative or endeavour undertaken in Killarney,” the Chamber said.
“He will be greatly missed by all that knew him but he leaves a wonderful legacy.”

He will repose at O’Shea’s Funeral Home, Killarney, on Friday (October 17), from 4:00pm to 6:00pm. The funeral will arrive at St Mary’s Cathedral on Saturday morning at 10:00am for Requiem Mass at 10:30am, with burial afterwards in Aghadoe Cemetery. The Requiem Mass will be live streamed at https://www.churchservices.tv/killarneycathedral.
