Kerry manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice has handed first ever Championship starts to no less than five players for this weekend's Munster SFC semi-final clash with Clare in Ennis. Brian Kelly starts in goal with Rathmore's Paul Murphy lining out at corner-back. Michael and Paul Geaney of Dingle start at wing half-forward and corner-forward respectively while Stephen O'Brien occupies the other corner-forward berth. Fionn Fitzgerald of Dr Crokes captains the side in the absence of club-mate Colm Cooper. Eamonn Fitzmaurice's men are hot favourites to overcome the Banner but if things aren't going according to plan, the Finuge native can call upon seasoned campaigners Aidan O'Mahony, Kieran O'Leary, Donnchadh Walsh and Kieran Donaghy to dig the 36-time All-Ireland winners out of trouble.
