Kerry are going old school with their ballsy team selection to face Dublin

Shooting from the hip

Patrick McCarry

Star and Gooch are in. Darran O’Sullivan is in reserve.

Eamon Fitzmaurice has turned to Colm Cooper and Kieran Donaghy, Kerry’s veteran talismen, to undo the All-Ireland champions.

Donaghy is retained in the Kerry side that did for Clare in the quarter final while Cooper replaces O’Sullivan in the frontline.
