Carey, Gardiner recover to line out for final
Holders Kilkenny, in line for the first treble in 26 years, have a concern about the fitness of defender Michael Kavanagh, but the expectation is that he will be able to play. Carey, however, has made a full recovery and is certain to take his place.
The Cork selectors are due to announce their line-up after training tonight and only one change is expected. John Gardiner, who missed the semi-final against Wexford after breaking a bone in his hand playing football with his club, is set to start. He was replaced by U-21 colleague Cian O'Connor from Erin's Own.
