Friday's Sports Update

Kerry have named their team ahead of this Sunday's All-Ireland football final against Mayo.

GAA

Kerry have named their team for Sunday's All-Ireland football final against Mayo.

It's an unchanged starting side from their semi-final win over Dublin, with David Clifford, Seán O'Shea and Gavin White all starting.

All-Star goalkeeper Shane Ryan is back in the panel, but Shane Murphy is preferred between the sticks.


SOCCER

Shelbourne will take a 5-2 lead into the return leg of their Conference League qualifier against Kalju next weekend.

Sean Moore struck twice, as John Russell's side blew the Estonian outfit away at Tolka Park.

A win in Tallinn next week would likely set up a glamour tie with Dutch giants Ajax in the third round of qualifying.

Elsewhere, Derry City were beaten 1-0 in the first leg of their qualifier against Rijeka in Croatia.

There's one game in the SSE Airtricity Men's Premier Division this evening.

The former Liverpool boss is understood to have agreed a deal until the 2030 World Cup.

Klopp will succeed Julian Nagelsmann, who left as head coach following their last-32 exit to Paraguay at this summer's tournament.

The defending champion is level-par and seven shots behind leader Cameron Percy - he tees off again just before 2.

Paul McGinley will resume from two-under at around 8:45
