Cork and Galway set to keep faith with semi-final teams

CORK and Galway are almost certain to be unchanged for Sunday’s Guinness All-Ireland hurling final in Croke Park.

Both managements are in the happy position of being able to select from full-strength panels and when the Cork selectors sit down this afternoon to finalise their side before training, the belief is that they will name the same fifteen which started against Clare.

Galway, likewise, are expected to give a vote of confidence to their young team which shocked Kilkenny in their semi.
