Kerry and Armagh delay selection

Kerry and Armagh have delayed the naming of their teams for Sunday's final round meeting of the National Football League in Tralee - a repeat of last year's All-Ireland final.

The main concern in Kerry is over defender Seamus Moynihan, who is still troubled with an ankle injury, while fellow defender Michael McCarthy is out after undergoing minor knee surgery.

Moynihan missed Kerry's last game against Tyrone, and was also sidelined for his club Glenflesk last weekend. Barry O'Shea, who also missed the Tyrone game, will be fit to play but it remains to be seen which player manager Páidí Ó Sé will start at full back.

Tomás Ó Sé was named at full back against Tyrone, but it was Tom O'Sullivan who played there, moving back from the wing. O'Sullivan performed reasonably well on Peter Canavan and may again be utilised in the position. Eamonn Fitzmaurice, a late defection against Tyrone, will also be available.

For Armagh, who will fly to Tralee, forward Oisín McConville remains the chief concern. The back injury which forced McConville to cry-off before the Galway match on March 23rd has been slow to heal, and Joe Kernan is eager to give him every chance of starting.

Full forward Ronan Clarke is still recovering from a groin operation, although Kieran McGeeney and Aidan O'Rourke are back to full fitness. TG4 have confirmed the game as their live Sunday broadcast.

In hurling, Tipperary captain Brian O'Meara will be sidelined for several weeks after breaking two toes in last Saturday's game against Cork. He is likely to be recovered for Tipperary's clash with Clare in the Munster championship in May.

In other news, the Derry and Tyrone game in the Ulster championship on May 18th has been switched from Omagh to Clones as Healy Park in Omagh is undergoing redevelopment work.
