Rebels make two changes for Déise final clash

CORK boss Johnny Keane has made two changes for tonight’s Munster IHC decider against Waterford (Páirc Uí Chaoimh, throw-in 7.30pm).

U21 stars Leigh Desmond and Lorcan McLoughlin have both been drafted into the starting line-up at midfield and left half-forward respectively. Their introduction does result in some positional switches, with Barry Coleman moving to right corner-back in place of the injured Pat Fitzgerald while Stephen Moylan goes to left corner-forward, with Brendan Ring dropping down to the bench.

Luke Farrell, a late call-up before the semi-final win over Clare in place of Eamonn Collins, retains his place at full-forward after an impressive display. Waterford manager Liam Óg Daniels has announced the same starting 15 from the semi-final rout of Limerick for tonight’s provincial decider.
