Corcoran in as three McCarthys start in Cork half-forward line

BRIAN CORCORAN will make his first championship start in two-and-a- half years and rookie Garvan McCarthy will make his senior debut as Cork throw down the gauntlet to Waterford in Sunday's Guinness Munster SHC final.

Corcoran lines out at full-forward with newcomer McCarthy at right half forward as the Cork selectors have made other changes from the side that beat Limerick in the semi-final.

John Gardiner has been selected at right half back with Tom Kenny moving to midfield to the exclusion of Mickey O'Connell, who has been troubled with an ankle injury of late.
