How to skip first element in webpage and choose second element using selenium

I have two elements in webpage with same linktext in same table structure. I have to ignore first element and select second element everytime if present. But problem is selenium selecting first element every time, How can I select second element instead of first element(ignore first element)?

I can't use anything other than Linktext to identify that element using selenium, That's the constraint.

when elements having same link text or having same loactors, there is one collection present in java i.e List create a list of webelements having such kind of scenario, then by there index you can access the elements.

List<WebElement> list1 = driver.findElements(By.linkText("Services"));
for(int i=0;i<list1.size();i++)
{
 System.out.println(i+" "+list1.getText());
 //this can be used incase number of elements is more and no time to count there index
}
list1.get(1).click();

Here it is for getting second element via link text where I used collection class to store all same kind of elements.

List<WebElement> li = driver.findElements(By.linkText("Services"));;
li.get(1).click();
