The Kick-Off: Here's what to look for in sport throughout today

GAA

Kerry and Cork revealed their teams last night ahead of Sunday's hugely anticipated Munster final at Fitzgerald Stadium.

Kerry have made five changes, with manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice opting to leave Colm Cooper on the bench as James O'Donoghue returns to the Kingdom full-forward line.

Fit-again David Moran returns to the Kerry midfield, while Cooper is joined on the bench by the likes of Aidan O'Mahony, Paul Murphy and Tommy Walsh.

Cork have made just two changes from their semi-final win over Clare with full-back Eoin Cadogan and midfielder Fintan Goold returning at the expense of Conor Dorman and Colm O'Driscoll.

Later tonight, Roscommon will play host to Sligo in their Connacht Minor semi-final.

Throw-in at Dr Hyde Park is at 7.30pm.

 

SOCCER

Given the involvement of so many sides in European competition this week, there is just one game taking place tonight in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division.

League leaders Dundalk travel to local rivals Drogheda United in a Louth derby, which will kick-off at 8.05pm.

 

There are also three games tonight in the First Division.

Athlone Town host Cobh Ramblers from 7.45pm.

And at 8pm, Finn Harps host Cabinteely and Wexford Youths are at home to Waterford United at Ferrycarrig Park.

 

TENNIS

After the shock of Rafa Nadal's early exit last night, the rest of the top seeds will be hoping to avoid become the next big-name casualty at Wimbledon.

Top seeds Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams are both scheduled for Centre Court today, with Djokovic taking on Australia Bernard Tomic in their third-round match while Williams will play home favourite, Heather Watson.

Stan Wawrinka, Maria Sharapova and Grigor Dimitrov are among the other players in action.

 

GOLF

Graeme McDowell still has one hole of his opening round left to complete this morning at the French Open.

The defending champion was on 1-over par when play was suspended last night in Paris.

Germany's Max Kieffer leads by a shot on 4-under par - but he also has to finish his first round this morning.

 

HOCKEY

Olympic qualification remains on the agenda for the Irish Men's Hockey team today as they prepare for their latest match at the World League in Antwerp.

After their quarter-final defeat to Australia earlier in the week, the Irish side will now face Pakistan in their 5th-to-8th place semi-final, with tip-off at noon, Irish time.

A fifth place finish this week for Ireland could still be enough to claim a place at Rio 2016.

 

RACING

There is racing today at Bellewstown and in Wexford.

The Hibernia Steel Products Handicap is the feature race on the second day of the July festival at Bellewstown, with the first race under at 5.10pm.

And there is a seven-race jumps card at Wexford, which begins at 5.50pm.
