Jason Duffy who pulled up with a hamstring in the warmup ahead of the Kerry game in Tralee comes in with Oisin Conaty dropping out of the squad.

Also put of the squad is midfielder Ben Crealey who came on in their defeat to the Kingdom.

Ross McQuillan returns to the squad and Blaine Hughes has been listed to start in goal for what would be a third appearance of the season.
