The kingdom of Kerry has been in rest in recent years, but tonight will go some way towards demonstrating their current crop's potential as they welcome Dublin to Austin Stack Park for their Allianz League clash.
Ahead of that, former inter-county star Kieran Donaghy has selected his all-time Kerry 15. There was some close calls but ultimately the Eir Sport's pundit went for the following side:
Charlie Nelligan, Marc O'Se, Seamus Moynihan, Aidan O'Mahony, Paidi O'Se, Mike McCarthy, Ger Power; Jack O'Shea, Darragh O'Se; Paul Galvin, Declan O'Sullivan, Maurice Fitzgerald, Colm Cooper, Eoin Liston, Mikey Sheehy.
