Kerry senior ladies manager Graham Shine has made two changes to the line up for the visit of Monaghan to Listowel for Round 4 of the Lidl National football league Division 1 which takes place on Sunday at 12 noon.
Elaine O’Sullivan of Southern Gaels returns to goals at the expense of Erris O’Carroll whle Emma Sherwood of Firies comes back into the team at full forward, with Megan O’Connell dropping to the bench.
Kerry defeated Monaghan by 11 points in the corresponding fixture last year, however Monaghan hammered Kerry by 16 points in the All Ireland quarter final last August.
Both Monaghan and Kerry have 3 points from their first 3 games so a win for either side would be a huge boost in their bid to avoid a relegation struggle .
With players of the calibre of Ciara McAnespie, Cora Courtney and Caoimhe Mohan to call upon they will be difficult to beat but Kerry can take great encouragement from their second half performance against Donegal last Sunday.
Throw in on Sunday is at 12 noon in Listowel.
