Kerry v Roscommon: How To Watch, TV Info, Team News

It's week one of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship group stages and Kerry face Roscommon in Killarney. League and Munster champions Kerry welcome a Roscommon side who secured promotion from Division 2 but have failed to impress since then with a win away to London and a defeat to Galway in Salthill.

The last time the two teams faced each other was in March of last year with Jack O'Connor's side winning on a score-line of 1-17 to 1-11 in Dr Hyde Park.

This will be the eleventh time Kerry and Roscommon have met in the championship with Kerry winning eight times, The Rossies once and one draw.

Will Davy Burke's side produce a shock away win or will Kerry keep up their momentum in this year's championship.

We have all the info you need ahead of Saturday's game.

The game will throw-in at 2.30pm in Fitzgerald Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Kerry v Roscommon will be live streamed on GAA+ with coverage kicking off at 2pm. Highlights will be shown on The Saturday Game on RTÉ 2 at 9.50pm.

Kerry have made just one change to their starting XV but it is a significant one, with Diarmuid O'Connor returning to the team in midfield. Tony Brosnan drops to the bench, while Paudie Clifford is still missing from the squad despite the conclusion of his suspension.
