Cork bank on same line-up for Clare clash

NOT unexpectedly, the Cork senior hurling selectors have stuck with the same 15 which defeated Waterford in the quarter-final for Sunday’s All-Ireland SHC semi-final against Clare in Croke Park.

It is the fourth time the selectors have named the same team. On this occasion, however, there is one positional switch. Kieran Murphy and Ben O’Connor swap places, with Murphy now in the half forward line and the Newtownshandrum man at right corner forward.

Clare are due to announce their team tomorrow night but manager Anthony Daly has no injury problems. The only question really facing the Clare manager is who to select in the troublesome right corner forward berth.
