Donegal manager Jim McGuinness has kept the faith with the same starting 15 for Sunday’s All-Ireland senior football championship final against Kerry at Croke Park (3.30pm).

The Ulster champions inflicted a 20-point hammering to Meath last time out and McGuinness has gone with the same selection which means captain Patrick McBrearty again starts on the bench.

Along with McBrearty, Ryan McHugh and Michael Murphy both featured in Donegal last All-Ireland final appearance in 2014, which ended in defeat to Kerry, and the latter two are named to start at right half-back and full-forward respectively this weekend.

Caolan McGonagle is also listed amongst the subs in a 35-man panel released this morning (Friday) which must be trimmed down to 26 come Sunday.
