Cork keep faith with tried and trusted

SAME team, same subs. Nothing to report from Cork’s training session last evening except confirmation of what had been widely anticipated — that the selectors had once more given a vote of confidence to the side which started in the semi-final replay against Wexford.

It means that the same 15 Cork players who began the opening round against Clare on June 8 and who were retained for the subsequent Munster final against Waterford and both games with Wexford will represent the county in next Sunday's Guinness All-Ireland final against Kilkenny in Croke Park.

More significantly, Diarmuid O'Sullivan has again been named at left corner-back, even though he has regularly swapped positions with Pat Mulcahy when the need arose.
