The Cork team contains six players who featured in last August’s All-Ireland U20 final triumph.

Also included in the 24-man panel are four members of last year's All-Ireland-winning Cork minor team.

Goalkeeper Diarmuid Doody is the only survivor from last year’s Munster U17 football competition as Cork begin their campaign in the new minor grade tonight against Waterford in Páirc Uí Rinn (throw-in 7pm).
