There are changes aplenty on the Kerry team ahead of Sunday's Allianz FL final round encounter with Tyrone in Omagh.

With the Kingdom already assured of their place in Division 1 next season, Kingdom boss Eamonn Fitzmaurice has opted to make eight changes in total following the 0-19 to 0-14 win over Kildare in Tralee.

Perhaps, the most notable of all is the inclusion of Johnny Buckley at full-forward - the Dr Crokes' All-Ireland winning captain from last year made his seasonal bow as a substitute against the Lilywhites last weekend.

Brian Kelly, Tom O'Sullivan, Cormac Coffey, Mark Griffin, Daivd Moran, Killian Spillane and Stephen O'Brien also make the cut for the trip north.

Kerry (Allianz FL v Tyrone): Brian Kelly; Brian O Beaglaoich, Jason Foley, Tom O'Sullivan; Cormac Coffey, Mark Griffin, Fionn Fitzgerald; Jack Barry, David Moran; Micheal Burns, Daithi Casey, Kevin McCarthy; Killian Spillane, Johnny Buckley, Stephen O'Brien.

Subs: Shane Murphy, David Clifford, Barry O'Sullivan, Ronan Shanahan, Matthew Flaherty, Jack Savage, Eanna O Conchuir, Tadhg Morley, Greg Horan, Brendan O'Sullivan, Brian O Seanachain.
